Did they extend the warranty to those too, or does it cost to get it repaired?
Mine is still going strong but I'd like it to break once quieter ones are available!
Yup pretty much and if you were one of those who Microsoft forced to pay up to have their launch machines repaired they will refund you.
I'm just off back to my lurking while I bull some grunts off the rim and rinse the valley of the bulls

Amazing what effect a bit of snouting around by the EU has
Poor old Peter Moore got sidelined because of it though, it would appear.

What I'd like to know... Is whether the old design models which they fix
get newer components (ie it hopefully won't happen again.)
Anyone know?

Yes they're fitting new heatsinks. Whether it makes any difference is yet to be determined...

RRoD (3 red lights, not the top right one.)
I'm also getting a month gold membership card apparently (perhaps
because I only have silver?) when it comes back.

Also, the Elite has a crapload of epoxy over the faulty joints.

Well, I bought the 360 and it hasn't blown up yet!
And Space Giraffe is totally excellent. I am shite at it though.
