Yes, very. Microsoft recently increased the warranty from one to three years specifically for this problem.

Have they released new(er) consoles that fix this?

All consoles made by MS since the problem was acknowledged should be fine. They know there is a design flaw and any console going back to them should come back completely fine (I hope!).

Ah, fair enough. I shall come back armed with more questions closer to the time I start shopping.

Nah, this one is definitely knackered. Played a couple of games of Backgammon, fine - Loaded Forza and it hung during load then gave me the lights.
I'll head over to the local Tesco in a bit.

Again, it didn't feel hot but just slightly warm.

I'm not so sure Davey. There's nothing I've read so far that shows there are any major manufacturing changes at the moment. You mght get lucky and have one of the new heatsinks fitted but they are not guaranteed to be fitted with repairs.

The new new (HDMI premiums) models are Zepher boards, which is what they're putting in the Elite, and they do have the new heatsinks etc - trouble is they aren't out over here yet and no word when that'll happen. The proper revision (Falcon) - with 65nm chips - are still officially a rumour, let alone close to manufacture.
