1) Its in a plastic casing in a game store. Of course its going to overheat
2) Thats one person I heard so far that got a defect
3) Link doesnt work.

Only one source out of the 3 you provided worked. Try and find some more will ya.

And really I can't find in sources that says the Elites are find. I hear no complaints. Seeing how the Elites are way more reliable than the Premiums and Cores put together.

Here, try again: http://forums.xbox.com/12410162/ShowPost.aspx

The previous link also works, but the VGChartz RTF editor likes to add an extra space at the end of links.

1) It's not my problem it's in a plastic casing, now, is it? If I recall correctly, the PS3 has a similar casing, but doesn't crap out like the 360s do.

2) That's one person too many. Bottom line is, you don't hear of these reliability issues with Wiis or PS3s, so why should I have to put up with these issues with a 360? Sorry, no preferential treatment here - it's my money, and when I spend on electronics, I expect the machine to work as intended.

3) Link does work -  try again.

I've done my bit. Howsabout you do yours? Surely if the 360 Elite is so reliable, there must be reports of people praising, "hey, it's been 15 minutes and sure enough, my Elite still works!"

"And really I can't find in sources that says the Elites are find. I hear no complaints. Seeing how the Elites are way more reliable than the Premiums and Cores put together."

I hear complaints. Three, in fact, listed above. Seeing how despite how Elites may be more reliable than the previous abominations borne by Microsoft, there is still no reason why I have to put up with any issues of reliability at all. Wii doesn't have reliability issues. PS3 doesn't have reliability issues. A crappy iPod knock-off made by sweatshop labor by an obscure OEM factory in China doesn't have reliability issues. Why then does a console made by one of the largest corporations that has ever graced the earth have reliability issues - and expect me to put up with it?

Fact is, Microsoft screwed up with the reliability of the console this time around, and perhaps the Elite is more reliable, but you know the old saying: You only have one shot at making a first impression - and Microsoft blew theirs clear out of the water. 


Fact is, Microsoft is a software company not hardware.

Second, really I can care less about these comments from these fake posters out there on the internet. All they want to do is find ways to make the 360 to have a RRoD.

Your right about buying a 360 and seeing if its going to be reliable. I had my 360 Elite since the begining of August and I have no problems, plus I play my 360 for 2 hours max and turn it off. I just can't play video games all day. I have no problem with the 360 Elite bad reliability cause its satifisy me.

Anyway thanks for your posts on finding links to failures of 360 Elites. I hope you feel proud of yourself.
