Like Tim, I'm waiting for this to happen to mine. It's also out of warranty too so won't get it replaced.

hmm maybe i will ring game now and see if i can get a new one. would rather get a new one than a repaired one. especially if it runs slightly cooler+quiter

Im 99% sure GAME replace dead consoles, you also get to keep you HDD. As you say, you will also get one with the updated PSU so i doubt itl die again.
I got mine from PC World, bought in June 06 and i took mine back maybe November time i think. Had zero problems with my new one
