Hey. Did anyone else see the sign at any store that is available for electronics? I've heard that there's a techninition problem, and they're not making them no more. Well I was planning on getting it. Can someone give me some information about it thanks?
 
its the PSU, its shoved too close to the bottom of the case, it geerates too much heat and crashes the system under intense gaming.
 
Apparently, the more you play the games the cooler the xbox runs. It has sort of a burn in period, so to speak. Same with computer hardware
 
Contrary to popular belief, only 3% of all Xbox's are faulty: http://www.planetxbox360.com/?view=article&article=597 . The overheating problem is, most of the time, user error. As most of you know, the Xbox 360 is a pretty high-end computer, and it needs a lot of air to properly cool itself. When people cram their 360 into a tiny entertainment center, the console isn't able to get enough air to properly cool itself. Problems with overheating also arise when people put their 360 on carpet, or prop it right up against something - again, not giving it enough air to breath, and causing the system to crash.

How many of you would put you multi-core 3.2+ GHz computer in a little drawer and play Battlefield 2 on it!? Since most, if not all of you are computer literate, I'd say no-one.
 
PLUS, the 3% is below average for electronic failures on first release, so they're not actually doing that bad. Its the fact that alot of them were sold, so the 3% seems more

Yep. The PS2 launch was a LOT worse than the Xbox 360 launch, and the PS2 turned out well.
 
i wonder what they were thinking when they devised that experiment.
"we just got a call saying that the xbox scratched disks when you move it"
"what are we gonna do?"
"lets try it just to make sure"
"ok, *moves xbox* *grinding noise* yup that scratched the disk"
"lets do it again just to make sure"

i mean, why would you need to keep moving the console while it was on anyway. and then proclaim it to be the fault of the manufacture when it scratches a disk. when those disks are spinning there's a huge amount of force on them. you can feel this force when you hold a fan in your hand while its on, and thats nothing compared to a DVD.

i bet there's a notice in the manual that says do not move the console while it is turned on or something similar.

I own a 360, and it is in the manuel. There are also several references as to proper ventilation (both the power cord and the console itself).

In short, there are VERY few problems with the 360. From a manufacturing standpoint, there have been almost no problems. The problems arise when rednecks get their hands on shiny stuff.
