Anyway, I heard from the rewards company that I won it through at work. They're sending me an rma, ppd shipping label, and credit for it + 250 points. There's a Dewalt drill/saw kit or a compound miter box that I have my eyes on now ;) It all worked out fine and I didn't even have to deal with wal mart.

That's why I went out and purchased one yesterday morning at bbuy. It all worked out for the best. I'm sure they'll get it covered under warranty through whomever they purchased it from. FYI - I called and talked to XBOX/MS support on Christmas day. They actually had people working somewhere. From what we could determine, it wasn't actually the console, but the power supply since the LED would completely go out on it. It was slightly warm but not overly warm. Probably a simple fix but I didn't want to have to deal with the wait for them to warranty that either since they said it would be 2-3 weeks for me to get a new power supply.

Not xbox related but i got a surround sound speaker bar, subwoofer, spearkers set and the power supply was bad. Spent hour and a half setting up proper positioning and when i finally turned it on. Nothing. My wife had to take back day after and the woman gave her atttitude. Power supplies dont fail we are using power supplies from six years ago. My wife said do you have a voltmeter to check voltage she said no so mt wife said can you just shut up and take it back then
