Yes, I agree..your Xbox will probably die before the HDD does. But, that doesn't concern me. I just care about all my game saves that will be lost if the HDD dies. If the Xbox itself dies, at least I can transplant the HDD over to a new one and recover the data.
...Or you could do things the Sony way, and use just about any memory card to backup all of your game saves/content if the hard drive ever dies, but the 360 doesn't have a card reader.
Honestly, Microsoft is stupid. All they need to do is enable USB support for mass storage devices and let you backup all of your saved games on to a thumbdrive or external hard drive.
