Firmware?The CPU and GPU overheat too much, warping and bending the motherboard and breaking the BGA contact, MS tried to prevent this in the Elite model by gluing the GPU/CPU to the mobo with hard epoxy, and using a heatpipe and extra heatsinks on refurbished units. At least the full refound will surely appease most angry consumers. What was in MS mind when the 360 came with a three month warranty only at its release, is beyond me I guess they finally heard the outrage, and are trying to prevent a multi-million class action suit by millions of 360 owners with dead consoles.

Ppl who had their 360s RMA after their warranty period will get a full refund from MS. Many of the issues can be identified by a series. MS just announced yesterday that they will increase the warranty of all 360s to three years!
