I got mine in March of last year, I think, which puts me out of warranty. I remember making sure I didn't get one of the launch units, though. They had made a change (I forget what it was) to address overheating issues, so I made sure I had one of those. Some are saying that the motherboard warps over time, and it breaks a connection. With the Elite, apparently they just put some epoxy on it instead of really redesigning the motherboard. So I guess we'll see how effective that fix is.
