Got an xbox 360 out of the blue yesterday, Big upgrade awesome graphics from our wii. Second day, started downloading crackdown and rainbow six vegas.
So careful and gentle when taking it out fo the box and hooking it up.... Crackdown demo I played for about 20 minutes and I was getting shot at and it froze, then I turned it off and went to rainbow six vegas demo, froze mid chopper scene, downloaded blacksite demo to see if that would work, froze right when I could look. Turned it off, froze before it hit main menu, turned it off, on and 4 times straight froze at the menu. Then just freezings after trying the demos. Turned it off to see if it would work. I'm going to take it back to Costco tomorrow and get a new one. Hopefully that one will be the lucky system. Thanks Microsoft!! Anyone here have any success with the 360? It looked so awesome on the 52'' LCD as well.. ARG!! |

My son hasn't reported a problem with his 360. Like a laptop, make sure it has plenty of room for air circulation.
POOF!

Hahah, you speak of air circulation. It's laying vertical in an open clean area, nothing around it. Maybe I just picked the bad 360 out of the bunch at costco. Hopefully I can strike it lucky next time.

You need the better air circulation because my former employer made one of the semiconductors in the main board and it has an over heating problem, my former employers part that is not the whole board. So now ya know....

If nothing is around my xbox 360...I mean nothing...how can air circulation get better than that?

I think he was just letting you know the reason why kregg very kindly made the suggestion to you.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Took it back to Costco and got another 360. I love Costco, the BEST return policy. If we bought if from anywhere else they would probably tell us to call Microsoft and pay them 140 dollars to get it fixed +Shipping. So I am very happy.
The new 360 Froze ONCE during rainbow six vegas demo and that is about it, since the 4 hours of my brothers and my play it hasn't froze and Gears of War looks pretty on 1080p resolution with a 52 inch LCD |

After having an x-box that broke down after 6 months, replaced it and then the new machine broke down I'm not going anywhere near a 360. My trusty old PS2 though has been going for five years. I think I'll be buying a PS3.

My Xbox is inside my entertainment unit laying flat ontop of my PVR(which gets hot and sometimes can cause the 360 to warm up. I got the intercooler for about $15 and it never froze or overheated again.
