Xbox 360 Slim

Just making people aware that the new xbox 360 slim models (black) have faulty power brick supply cords. My hubby and I just purchased an xbox 5 months ago, and the power bar kept making a grinding noise, now it has died and I read on the net it's called the red dot of death and many people are getting it. Seems microsoft had cheap fans put into the power boxes and they die very quickly. Now we have to pay to ship it back to microsoft since conveniently they dont give free shipping labels for accessories. Just an FYI for anyone who is thinking about getting one or has one already.
