Xbox 360's warranty extended for three years in cases of "red ring of death." Reliability issues were one of the reasons I was slow to purchase a unit, and I'm still a bit leery that my system could crash at any moment, but knowing my warranty now extends to 2010 gives me peace of mind.

In other video game news, word has leaked out that the Playstation 3 will be getting a price cut to be announced in scant weeks. Not that I'll be getting one, but I'm sure some people will be happy.
