My 2nd generation time capsule (now almost 4 years old) was over heating and powering down. As you can imagine, having your TC power down and losing your network is a huge downer.
I called Apple, as my MBP is still under warranty. The short version is this:
Apple: Your TC is well out of warranty, but I see you just registered a new iPod Touch.
Me: Uhhh, yeah.
Apple: If you had apple care on it, we could get you all taken care of on that TC.
Me: (not getting the subtle hint) Bummer, man!
Apple: Would you like to purchase apple care on your iPod and get your TC taken care of?
Me: Durrrrr.... yeah!
Apple: OK.. I am goig to send you a replacement TC, just box up the old one and send it back.
Me: Yay!
Morale of the story: Apple Care rocks!
