Yes, I was lucky enough to get them 2 days ago. Right after buying ODST too :) Sadly im not under the 3 yr warranty anymore so Im weighin options.

As is, Gamestop would take my 360 and give me 35 bucks. Ridiculous but yea

If i Repaired it, would be $99 to repair it which it could happen again for all I know. And Gamestop gives like $70 for one in working condition.

Arcade 360 is $200 and i can buy that and pop in my harddrive

Elite is $300, and i could either trade in my broken one to cover the tax on it -_- or i could i guess hold onto the broken one and send it in later, havin 2 eventually.

Im leanin more toward the elite, just because lets say mine breaks down about 3 times or so, i might as well have bought one and I'd have more memory and it would be sexy black too.

Any thoughts? I am sure i explained it in a confusing way, Im still waking up.

is it possible to try and fix it yourself?

i have no idea, but i've heard of people doing it before, and they said it only took around 30 mins.

This. Walmart people don't give a shit and they open it look at it and see how it is. If it looks right then it's right.

Send it to M$ or kick yourself for never getting an exchange warranty.
