Hey everyone, I'll try keep this brief
My situation:
I (read: my mum) bought an Xbox 360 in late November or early December 2007, and everything's been fine up until the other day where it went and broke on me. Now, I bought it from PC World, who had a 1 year warranty on the Xbox, but which has now obviously expired.

It's impossible to quantify what a reasonable length of time is really.
e.g. If you'd only switched it on once a month and played it for 10 minutes a time, then 2 years is clearly a short time for it to break. But if had people playing on it 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year then 2 years is a good life span.
