Word of note, those two identity proof requests, if you do not put them in at one point, then your account will be locked down until you verify your identity. It happened to myself and a friend of mine, easily resolved but they do take that part seriously.
Also even if the warranty has expired, microsoft will most likely still see the machine fixed. If anything at a small fee of $50, last time I had to send one in; it cost $50. It does sound like a hardware issue though, your 360 should not be having this big of an issue.

This makes sense to me. If the games you're trying to load are dependent on being connected to LIVE, then a lockdown of your account would prevent them from loading. Since Minecraft may be played while the XBox is completely offline, try going offline and see if Minecraft loads. (Since you've cleared your cache and your Minecraft version may be still at 1.6.6, I would recommend you test this by creating a new world and not trying to load one of your current ones.) If it does load, there is an excellent chance your hardware is fine and the issue is with the status of your LIVE account.

I believe the out of warranty fee has changed to $100. That is why I suggested taking it somewhere local as their price will usually be less, unless an expensive part failed in a 360.
