Yea, they're open till midnight I beleive. If its a launch box good luck, nov 20th was launch and they only extended the warrenty to 1 year later I beleive.
Why not just use your bragging money to buy a new one already?
1) Move it to some place with more air flow and try there. It may just be overheating.
2) If you're still under your warranty period, send it back to MS.=
3) If you warranty period is over, smack it. Yes, this does actually work. A common reason for the issue is a bad soldering job on the graphics card.
4) If your warranty period is over, try to fix the soldering yourself. You have to open the machine for this, so you may want to try 3 first.
Ps: You didn't happen to be playing one of the BK games when it broke, were you?

There's also one weird fix that makes no sense but it seems to work. Try plugging it in directly to your wall instead of the surge protector.?
Actually, there's a good reason. The 360 draws a lot of power, more than your average PC actually. If you plug it into an overloaded surge protector, or even just a cheap one, it may not draw enough power to work.
On that note, the power brick can overheat as well and should be placed where it can get air. That shouldn't have to do with the issue at hand though.
