Yup. Turned it one today and it just clicks, sounding like the HDD is knackered, then an error message comes up and it says to contact customer services.
I go it three days after launch, so I'm well out of the warrenty. Perhaps I shouldn't have told customer services that...
They say it'll cost 78 quid to either send it back and try and fix it, possibly losing my game saves in the progress (Halfway through Halo 2 and Fable - gah!), or there'll just send me a brand new console, for the same 78 quid, definitely losing my game saves.
Anyone had anything like this happen to them? Is there anyway of getting a free console somehow? Is there a way of fixing it, installing a new HDD somehow?

Dont do anything with it!!! This very same thing happend to my release day xbox just the other month. I tried to get it working for a few days but then give up and left it on the shelf. A couple of weeks later I pluged it back in and it worked as good as it did on the first day. Give it a while and see what happens.
+ when it started working again all the saves were still there!
