Why wouldn't you just send in the xbox and have it fixed/replaced for free?

Because some people are lazy. I was riped off and got the one ring (E74 error -- hardware failure) and had to pay the $99.99 for repair order and got my first gen repaired but a "free" year of warranty. I was hoping they couldn't repair it so I woulda gotten a new one but nooooo.

Wow, that's crazy. I actually got a bunk console after I sent in my launch console for the red ring.. The console they gave me to replace it failed but it didn't give me the red ring and they still replaced it.. Granted after telling them 20 times that it didn't have the red ring I finally said "Yes, it gives 3 flashing lights" and they finally just said "Okay sir, we're going to send you your box free of charge and you just send us your xbox360."

I was always under the impression the towel trick was just a temporary fix incase you just had to start up your Xbox for some reason. Before long it is supposed to go back to its old ways.
