How to Return an Xbox plus 360 Controller mod

It's refreshing to finally see some news other than Wii or PS3.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited about the prospects of these 2 new consoles, however all everyone seems to talk about is how great the Wii is and how the PS3 sucks.
And while I do agree that the Wii is awesome (I finally got one, but I"ll save that for another story) I do also feel that the PS3 is a kickass console, it just hasn't "come of age" yet. I bet by Christmas 2007 all the kids that got a Wii for 2006 will want the PS3.
But enough of my rambling, on to the non-Wii/PS3 news.
So, what do you do when your second 360 quits and you have to return it to Microsoft? Well, you begin raising money to send it to Microsoft's repair depot in a shipping container:

That's what the Big Box Project is all about. According to this post, some unfortunate 360 owner has been told by Microsoft that he has to pay for shipping his console back for repair since it's his second repair.
So what he's decided to do is raise enough money to rent a shipping container similar to the pic above to ship it to M$.
This is because according to M$'s own shipping policy, the console will be returned to him in the same box at their expense.
I say, way to go (if it works).
