Forums - Microsoft Discussion - XBox 360 S overheating video

damn i didnt know they now have a unattractive sticker on em bout the disk

about the overheating can say if the vid is a fake or not i would say its real some consoles do have malfunctions even brand new

but i can say im not a fan of the 360s cooling system if you keep that console laying flat i believe the fan draws air form all those vents at the top not a good idea b/c it will also be drawing in dust as dust falls from top to bottom not to mention now the 360s attracts dusts more so whit the shiny finish

all that dust accumulating at the top will eventually clog up the vents resulting in not enough air flow though the system causing overheating issues 

to contrast sony has been eliminating intake vents with every new ps3 even going back to the ps1 and 2 days look at the new ps2 it only has 4 holes about 1/4 by 1/4 of an inch big only for exhaust and the ps3 has very little in form of intake vents all the bottom of the system where it would be harder for dust to get to

Oh yeah I meant to write this before, he has 2 ps3 boxes but only one ps3 hooked up. Chances are, the other 360 is either broken, or some such similar reason.

Exactly, It is broken with E74 or something and it is playing the modern warfare 2 disc. But this is just me.



Maybe it's the fact that Sony was once on top of the mountain in this industry, and the fall from grace has been swift and brutal. The worst thing about being on top is the fall to the bottom, and maybe the transition from PS2 dominance to PS3 heel-dragging has had a damaging effect on the fanboy psyche, leaving them vulnerable and insecure. Maybe fanboys are suffering from a severe case of paranoid delusion, brought about by denial that the PS3 is in third place when once Sony was leading the charge.

That's not overheating... if it was overheating there would be heavy frame rate drops and texture problems... that's more like a connection issue... maybe not firmly seated in the box or the TV a splitter can sometimes degrade video like this



thats what im saying

LOL JK!


It depends on whether the recipe prescribes shaking or stirring.
