I remember at E3 Microsoft said they were considering replacing Xbox 360's that red ringed under warranty with the new Xbox 360S'.  Does Anyone know what came of this?  The reason I am asking is because my 20 GB Xbox 360 (which I bought in 2007, and has needed repair 4 times now) has just red ringed and I am curious.

They wouldn't do that because the HDD is different.

I'm sorry, I can't remember an exact source, but I remember it was in a video interview with a Microsoft rep.  Yeah, I thought it would be pretty crazy if they did that, but I swear I heard that somewhere.

Man, I can see people red ringing their xbox on purpose to get a Slim. 
 
But I doubt they're doing this, at least not yet.

It would be highly unlikely seeing as the new 360 probably cost a large amount to make and they still have tonnes of cheap, old ones to replace the ones that broke. I can see this happening in a year or two though once they completely phase out the old model.

Im using my xbox as a stand for my PC monitor. As you can probably guess I do not play it much these days. I want a new system to come out.

This. There's so much demand for the new Slim units and so many old units floating around there's just no way they're going to give you a Slim.

Not a chance, that's at least 750,000,000 xbox's they'd need to replace and they'll surely go bankrupt.
