If you are in California, Apple has to repair the MacBook Pro. Maybe a California resident in the forum could take it in for you. The problem with those NVIDIA 8600M systems seems to be they will fail eventually. Apple should have issues a recall and had NVIDIA foot the bill (NVIDIA did reimburse repair costs for systems that failed in the extended warranty period).
Do you have any details to back that up? I'm in CA and never heard that before, although I was successful in getting them to repair one after being persistent when they first said no.
Apple's initial written policy on the NVIDIA problem said it would repair them for 4 years from purchase date, and never mentioned anything special about CA or no time limit. But there have been a lot of reports of successfully getting them to do it after 4 years.
