Well is this the "Amber light of smoke" those 2 guys were talking about? 

Well consoles have issues from time to time, or all technology for that matter.  As long as it isnt a regular occuring thing no big deal.  PS4's break, XBO's break, and WiiU's break.  Not sure what happened to his console, but it sucks for him that is for sure.

And yeah you would recieve those comments.  As always, people need to relax with the console wars from time to time.  These things are going to happen when you sell millions of consoles.

I hadn't heard about that. Googled and it seems to be the same.

Yeah but these consoles have auto shut off. To me if it is a problem, it'd be a problem with that not being reliable. As anyone had there system shut itself off from heat here?

So I've been at work for 5 hours and I'm ready to go play some Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

Mine has never shutoff no. Mine has been problem free for the most part.  As ive mentioned before Id like the dashboard to be a little more like the X360 dashboard and bring avatars back but other than that mine has been great.

Unless you can smell that smoke, it's difficult to say what it might be. 

Are you sure about that? xD

I have no idea how to even get my Xbox One to overheat besides putting it in a plastic back/block the vent. Its so damn silent its scary.

It's for the sake of discovery! Cover the vents with tape and set it on a space heater.

Ive seen things man O.o  

Really though Nintendo  did a great job in the 7th gen with hardware faikures.  it was the only console below 10% failure rate while X360 and Ps3 was around 15%
