Oh I fully expect tons of these to pop up online, Fanboys wrapping a towel round their console and keeping it on for 48 hours next to a a nicely lite fireplace, just to troll Microsoft!

yes im sure someone just wasted $299 to troll, can you not just accept that it may just have been faulty?

No not really, not this soon after release.

And to your first line LOL

On LAUNCH people bought $599 PS3's and smashed them in with a sledge hammer and posted the videos online (they did it with the 360 as well.) Do not underestimate the stupidity of people on the internet.

Fair enought, but I bought a samung 32in HD screen xmas, and it stopped working on the 2nd day, its kept turning the volume down by itself it was really wierd and I had to get it replaced,it doesnt mean im trolling samsung if i posted a video on it

It's too soon after release. Even if it's a legitimate hardware failure, at this point in time it would point simply to a defective unit rather than flawed design.

When it's, heat the console fails to start.

The heating issue is over time, and there hasn't been enough time yet. This might be a connection issue, a faulty television, or a faulty 360, or even a videocard issue, but it doesn't seem heat related to me. :P



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

its been making a bit of a buzz on youtube... and its seriously not a good sign, all consoles can be moved while the disk is on why didn't they fix this?

That doesn't look like it's overheating. It could be anything.

Actually, NONE of the consoles should be moved when the disc is in the disc drive and especially while the console is on.  Look at my poor copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  It says this in the manuals for the Wii, 360, and PS3.
