    took 8 days for mine a couple of weeks back. The main issue is they have it fixed for ages, but then wait until they have a load to ship back with ups before they do it. IF they removed this aspect then it would be much faster

    I think the achievement should be given to those who have yet to send their consoles away - for being the lucky so and sos who got a working console.

    its the xbox's evil side paying you back. You only have to read the blogs they write to see how evil they can be. Look at my friends one, it hates him baraka6's Xbox 360 can blog the entry from 21/2/08 is most fitting for you!
