Hate to be the person who brings up the obvious, but are you sure its not the disc, is it scratched or something?? imo opinion it looks like the tv isnt recieving the signal properly. but obviosuly i dont know that, i would try different wires, different settings, maybe a different tv, before coming to this overheating conclusion.

it's an e74 error. This is exactly the type of artifacts that appear when the gpu is dying or faulty.

And did you read my post above? He looks like a hardcore gamer, not the type to fuck up a console just to burn MS over the internet. You'd have to ignore the setup he has in his room to consider that he might have had a loose wire. That kind of person doesn't look like someone who doesn't check their equipment first.

Unless he's just a huge troll with something to gain...I don't know why he would buy 4 360s and THEN make this video.

Well, i've never seen an e74 error. but i was under the impression that would stop you from playing the game completely. and the game is clearly still running. i dont know why someone would buy 4 360's then make this video; but according to someone else on this thread people bought PS3s on launch then trashed them with baseball bats. i know that might not be true, but if thats even slightly possible then so is some troll imo.

the reason i think this could just be some simple mistake is because M$ have recieved huge backlash over the RROD thing, so it seems ridiculous that they would fuck up a brand new console with the same or similar error.
