That was good of them
I got the red ring of death a couple times on xbox within warranty and got a straight swap. This ps3 machine is 5 years (maybe more) old so no luck there. I have to say this lasted longer, than both xboxs combined.
I also had a red ring of death last year out of warranty, think there is a thread on here about it.
A new machine is tempting, but I have no idea what the big players are planning for e3 this year and if there might be something new by next xmas. Like an ps4 / xbox 720 or whatever coming out.
So, a Heat gun is on mu shopping list for the weekend, going to try heating the gpu/cpu areas up and applying some flux to see if the youtube videos work or not.
