Just got an email from JB Hifi and it looks like they're selling XBox360 Elite bundles super cheap, I guess to try and move them before the new slim 360 comes out.
You can get the 360 Elite, with 120gb hard drive, Halo: ODST, Forza 3 and a wireless controller for $249. Pretty crazy price!
Clicky for more info.

Oh well, Hopefully when this one Redrings, there'll be a sweet deal around, not after I get.

They sent my mate a box etc and all he had to do was pack it and take it to the post office. 7 days later he had a fixed xbox and it was miles out of warranty.
Microsoft realised that they had f***ed up!

Though i'd imagine getting the new sexy black slim with built in wifi and quieter sound would be tempting to get if you're console-less as well?

They said red rings are just a "general hardware failure", so I couldnt know it was the same fault.
So i said whatever, for 160 i could buy another one second hand, but it doesnt matter because I was going to fix it myself anyway.
So i did. 15 dollars later, my xbox was working again.
and still is.
the guides are pretty easy to follow... or if you're in bris i could work my magic.

The show on Fox8 said they were going to be selling the new version at the same price as the old one.

I got a new 360 during the $400 bundle package was out, it came with FORZA3, ODST, Lego Batman, UFC2009 and uuh.. another racing game.
I might pick up that $300 when tax time comes around, a spare 360 isn't such a bad idea, hah

Note the graphics card died in it, not the general warping issue.

I pushed pretty hard, spoke to the supervisor, and it's getting fixed. If you push hard enough - without being rude - they will probably fix it.
If it dies again I will probably smash it to bits and buy the new slim one. I hope they have fixed the issues with the new version...

Thanks anyway Midda.
