The Red Ring Of Death Saga Continues

So having been through this RROD issue once already, I'll admit, I skimmed the e-mail I had received stating Microsoft acknowledged my request for a repair. Last time this happened, I filled out the online form, and Microsoft sent me a custom box with prepaid postage shortly after. The reason I bring this up today, is because after 2 weeks of waiting for my custom box, it still hadn't arrived. I sent another e-mail to the Microsoft help desk only to have them point out the fact I didn't read the e-mail thoroughly. This time around I had to print off the UPS shipping label, and find my own box to ship the unit back to Microsoft in. After packing the lifeless system up, I visited my local UPS store and upon arriving at the desk the UPS employee behind the counter took one look at my printed label and said "XBOX360, eh?". I was a bit shocked, but nodded and handed him my dead system and paperwork.

Looks like the RROD is more common than I thought.
