"Peter Moore of Microsoft has gone on record by saying that the Xbox 360 could also join the project...He even went so far as to cast doubt regarding the value of the 250,000 currently registered PS3's on the program, saying that "we'll continue to look at this and see whether there's real value." We're forced to ask: how is this kind of attitude in aid of the project? By reducing something as noble as the Folding@home project to a PR battle, Moore's indication sounds bitter and petty."
Whoops, someone's been reading the PR/shareholder material too much.

"As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced (3-year) warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles... If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date."
About bloody time; at least they did I suppose. Cost is estimated to be 1 billion bucks apparently, ouch. More here:

Wow, the 360 gains Messenger abilities and a QWERTY keyboard attachment in Spring (Autumn for Aussies) update, coming out May 9th.
I've always found it difficult to type messages on the 360 using the on-screen keyboard. This should be quite interesting, and much easier than the messenger capabilities in MCE as it didn't have the keyboard (unless you had a wireless one, which just looks out of place).
