Well, shes gone, as of April 3rd 2006.
Microsoft was actually pretty fast. They did not require my receipt, it might of helped that I registered my XboX 360 online.
Mailed me a box... I had to pick it up due to the fact I'm never home, I'm a slave to work.
The box itself was a box withen a box... with printed instructions, a round seal sticker, and a new plastic static protection bag, place the system only in the bag, fill out the printed instructions with your address name and etc information... close the box and seal it. Return slip was provided, you just fill out your address information, and copy down the tracking number.
They had other boxes, ones I was not sent, ones with slots for power supplies, and controllers if requested, my box was only big enough for the system itself, and they only wanted it, without the HD.
Weird thing, I don't get the seal... since they send only one, I myself open a box on both sides.... anyway, taped the other end, I'll let you know if they had a problem with that.
Purolator said they would have it tomorrow morning. Very fast.

2006/04/12 ITS FREAKING HERE!!!
I called Purolator, and it finally arrived on the 12th!
I was at work, but picked it up on the way home.
MASSIVE box, tons of packing paper for it, well packed for sure.
Apparently, they added in a free HD for me, although I'm going to be honest about it and let them know I received a new unit with a HD.
All in all, a great experience!
Although... I haven't plugged it in quite yet.... OBLIVION TIME THOUGH!
