My beloved xbox passed away last night, well the cd-rom did any way.
Wont recgonize any games or films atall, just says no disk.
It's off to my mates tonight to try and be rapaired, but he said i was either looking at £70 for a new cd-rom, or i may have to buy a new one.
When i spent like £150 on the xbox i expected it to last alot longer then 14 months.
Any of you had any problems with the xbox?
(This is the first problem i have ever had with it)

My brother put his Gameboy through a WALL and it still worked. It's been dropped down the stairs, dropped on the hard kitchen floor, it's about a decade old and it STILL works.

Yup indeedy. The Xbox is the only console that I've had real trouble with.
My Amiga 500 worked if you slammed it at the wall.
Seriously. It just started working again.

Warranty doesn't cover that and you're out of warranty anyway. Microsoft will also want the console back. Sure, you cna claim on the insurance but they could insist on a repair, or it could put your insurance costs up because the companies are getting really hot on false claims, plus there is probably an excess on your policy for at least £50.
