With my PS3 I used to just hold down the power button for a few seconds and it rebooted, with the 360 is there anything like this you need to do or is it ok just to switch it off at the plug?

Its only froze once by the way, Id have to say my PS3 probably froze a little more, but this isnt me having a go at any console if thats what any of you paranoid folks are thinking.

i throw my controller at the wall.

I only do that when Im on a 10 kill streak or something -_-

well yeah...i was about to call in an ac 130 in mw2 yesterday and my xbox froze. i was like mother f....

UH OH!

Thaw it.

When the 360 freezes, wait for the inevitable.

I don't get how both of your systems have freezing issues. My launch PS3 has never frozen and the only time my 360 froze, it was proceeding a RRoD. My current 360 has never frozen.

Are your systems ventilated enough?

Keep one eye on the sky and run for cover?
