Wow, Microsoft got my Xbox on Thursday, but probably because of the holiday didn’t mark it as received until today (which I understand).  The good news is though, the status already shows that it has been fixed or replaced and they already sent me a tracking number to track the shipment of it back to me.

This means My 360 (or its replacement) is already on its way back home!  I suspect though, since they did it so quickly, that they replaced it.  I should probably have the unit back by tuesday I think.

CURRENT TIME SINCE I STARTED REPAIR PROCESS: 9 DAYS
