I'm looking to pick up an XBOX 360 on Black Friday and was wondering whether it's a smart idea? I'm concerned about the warranty (with the red ring of doom and all) not being honoured if I were to bring it to Canada. Would they honour my warranty if I were to bring it to the States to send it to repair? I'm saving over $100 without tax by buying it down there. Is it a wise choice?

thanks for the advice. I've searched and I have found threads on it, but not specifically on Xbox-es. I know that some manufacturers do acknowledge cross border purchases in terms of warranty, but I'm more specifically concerned about Microsoft and the Xbox console.
