I just got the red ring the other day and if I get it back and it does it again within a month I'm going to try and get them to give me a new one. I believe the new ones have 65nm processors which run cooler, and because the red ring is caused by heat, it should help reduce the occurance of it happening.
The Towel trick is likely to do more harm than good and if they suspect you've done it, there's a decent chance that they won't repair/replace your system.

You're not going to get a falcon, BTW.
