Reminds me of the PS Forums, every time there is a new update, the update gets the blame for any Malfunction, Dead system, Freeze, or even Lag....

they might have posted it because one of the writers experienced these issues after update, typically engadget doesnt post random crap to start rumors about issues that dont exist.

its more likely they were intentionally misled.

I installed it, my 360 didn't brick but it does freeze and it won't play the few 360 games I have (dead rising in particular, the one 360 game I still play). I thought it was an anomaly till I did my daily dose of Engadget. I got off easy it seems (I have a March 2006 model so I'm not sure if thats the same as launch, who knows).

Usually I don't post in this kind of topic, but when I saw this particular post I couldn't stop thinking about this thread.

Wow Impulsivity just got owned, lol. I predict that he will completly avoid these posts.

Edit-After he gets off his ban

Is there a reason you have six 360's? Just seems rather odd unless you own a gaming shop or something =P

@topic,

I haven't heard anything about how pervasive this is yet, its a bit early to start assuming this is anything near as bad as the RRoD problem.

that freezing is probably due to high volume traffic.. if you just leave it for a min it should just come unstuck and you can move around again with the controller..

Freezing happened to me twice while I was looking at friends list but on 2nd time I just waited for a bit and it unfroze
