If I had an older Xbox console with the warranty about to expire, I would download the Update before it is withdrawn. :D

So why did you repost it? Trolling again perhaps? Yes I think so.

Your childish remarks (like the one I bolded) are getting very old, very fast.

That isnt the case. Updates, especially OS updates sometimes end up doing more damage than good, the 360 team should implement a roll back feature (as Windows does - "Last Know Good Configuration")

I think he was refering to my suggestion that some could use this problem, if it really exists to RROD a console that is close to the waranty end period. That way it can be returned "legally" for an extended warantee of 90 days.

Anyway, I would not do it. If a console lasted for three years there is a good chance that it it would "maybe" survive. I doubt it tho given the info on forums I read. It is a ticking time bomb.
