Thread: xbox 360 = CRAP!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.............that sucks, big time. Then again, I am not going to buy XBOX 360, PS3 rocks harder...........

Nothing that's exactly unexpected. It sucks, but certainly is to be expected with the first batch of systems.

I've heard that here in America, everyone is getting one. Now if you buy it on the internet, it's like $1500 dollars! I wanted one but I'm waiting for the PS3 to come out in the spring of 2006! yay! I might get one for a late birthday present since I'm born in February...*rabbles on* Sorry about that. Been hyper lately. *Blush*

I feel quiet sorry for microsoft and the billions of dollar they are going to lose. T_T
but they just shouldn't have rushed the system....

Wow wow, don't overreact jade. These look like typical release bugs to me.

Yeah it seems like the normal release bugs that tend to plague console releases.

Note that these will disappear over time.

I posted this in the Dreamcast/360 thread:

From a forum discussion;

"Ah, I play Kameo (interesting game) for about 30 minutes and the 360 crashes!!! Ugh.... Power adaptor goes from solid green to a flashing orange.... What next? Well, shoot off an email to MS, get one back not too long ago, find out that the flashing orange means that xbox has overheated!

Overheated??? Come on! Well, the quick fix was to cool down the system and then play it... Since then, I've been able to play, actually watching Stealth right now, but the catch? My window has to be open and it is 40 degrees out!!!!!"

I assume this isn't normal for an initial release?

We're talking serious overheating here. It's looking to me like they released it expecting problems with the way they already have the stock set aside for replacements. Why would you release a product you expect to meltdown?

There is already a thread discussing this topic:
