I have a launch 360 and so far it has only had a few problems (freezing when loading the music menu in game a few times) which appeared to be fixed by a few dashboard updates.

However today I was playing PGR4 and noticed quite a few graphical glitches going on, which I am hoping is just poor game coding. I saw a few black rectangles randomly floating as I came round some bends, then when I loaded up the next level I saw a rainbow coloured square by my speedo which didn't go away so I turned the console off.

Is PGR4 a buggy game or is it the console itself producing the errors? I haven't really played the 360 much since it came out, completed PGR3 + COD2 + GOW, but never really got into anything else. However since boxing day I have been hammering Guitar hero 3 and PGR4 for a couple of hours almost every day. Are launch consoles still being repaired foc?
 
If it fails without a 3RoD error I shall get out my felt tip and correct the problem ;)

In all seriousness if it failed could I pay extra and get an elite or do they only repair the console sent in?

My Xbox failed, constant display corruption so I went out and bought another one. Came home and set it up and got to playing on it, later on I tried the other one again and it was still borked. I took out my frustration by kicking it into a wall, at which point it dutifully began working again and has been fine ever since.
 
Well it's still going, after another 10 hours of playtime.

At the moment I am getting a few glitches in PGR4 and random heavy slowdown in guitar hero, but I don't know if thats just sloppy coding.
