Another Xbox 360 Crashing

nice post spartan

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a die shrink or a dvd firmware update warrant a new "version" also?  Not to be picky, but I don't think that the version count is an accurate way to count the ps2 "problems".

well, I'm not bashing any console or company here because at home we have 2 xbox, 2 gamecubes, 1 PS2 Slim, 1 Dreamcast, 1 PSP and 1 Nintendo DS... :drool:

and well, I was talking about the different hardware revisions which are the ones responsible for about 90% of the calls to the tech support centers. you can go to any of the "scene" websites and you'll find a lot of very useful info (that is not avialable on any of official web sites for obvious reasons) about what has changed on each of the different revisions. :blush: :happy: ;) :yes:

Hardware is always tweaked...they do it to save money.

I don't know why everyone is ****ting all over the 360. So what if a few people are having problems...doesn't mean every damn 360 is faulty. There are always going to failures when it comes to hardware (hell look at the the auto industry).

If you don't like the 360...fine...you are entitled to your opinion but if you are gonna be a mindless antiMicrosoft fanboy....STFU!

Ok if it wasn't rushed then why are so many of them freezing, having hardware errors and overheating? **** thought they would of found those bugs when the tested it, Guess not EH MATE? A bug in a console should be nothing more then the occasional lag spike, not a total system ****ing failure.

And no i don't own a 360 and thank **** for that woulda been 600$ thrown to ****.

Why would i even need such a horribly built "Current gen pc posing as a next gen console" (innovative my ass) to know how RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED it was, read the posts, the dozens of topics on neowin alone should give u a clue, Hell if not go check out the other 50 xbox sites that have ppl reporting "Uhh my xbox 360 is fuxed" Dude go hug an xbox, marry it. I can't see how you could be defending a very known and very faulty peice of hardware.

[thecableguy]

cant wait for XBOX 360 SP1

should solve all our problems

Of course a few people are going to have problems, and when they do they're going to post here. There's not a big chance your console is going to have a major problem with it...everyone that doesn't experience problems won't come here and post a new topic saying "YEA MY XBOX IS FINE!11!".

ok ya the ppl having problems that do know about neowin are posting here, otheres are posting at other sites, most of them aren't posting anything anywhere. so u have about 20% of the ppl with problems posting stuff. theres a good 50 posts on several sites of faulty consoles, think of how many more there are out there that we don't know about. seriously.

[Acezo]

Think of how many systems are currently sold. I'm damn sure a large percentage of them aren't faulty, and I don't know where you get the percentages of people reporting problems from...

How did the PS2 have MORE problems? Only problems were some very rare overheating cases in the first variations of the console. And most of the disc read errors were caused by dirty lenses, not faulty hardware. Its funny how many houses I went to with a little air sprayer and fixed the PS2 right up within half a second.

"omfg my PS2 wont read my DVD's ", " Brt ". 2 minutes later. Alright, good to go. "ummm cool man thanks " lol.

The PS2 could control the heat though, the Xbox360 has nothing in its design that will make the massive amount of heat generated by the console itself go away. Especially when you put the GPU UNDER the DVD-Drive which will just cause it to get even hotter. And people thought those Wal-Mart Xbox360s overheating and dying all over the place was just faulty pre-release hardware .... poor suckers.

I'll wait a good year or so. No real reason to buy the console right now anyway. Not when my head is so deep in PS2 games right now. DQVIII is going to last me for a long long time.

Are these people shure that they didn't bought Xbox360 "Millenium Edition" instead of "core" and "pro" verison LOL

[Kr0z]

maybe it's the ati 520 based graphics processor that i fuggled up / overheating.

[factoid]

this is why you wait for the second wave lol j/k

[rmorris003]

been playing madden and pd0 on my prem with no crashes for hours at a time.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

total sucks.. :( i feel sorry for him

[Slimy]

damn that really sucks :no: but bound to happen.

[jokeripa]

I sincerly hope not!

[((Ecko))]

It wouldnt be a microsoft product without the trademark crash. :p

[-Anthony]

I saw this same exact error at Wal-Mart a week ago when I was trying to play CoD 2.

[s0nic69]

could it be the game? all the erros with xbox 360 crashing have to do with that game. just a thought.

[revvo]

That will teach those hardcore gamers a lesson, never buy first generation without waranty because you'll most probably use it, especially when the same company repeated history over.

The 1st generation PS2's were certainly not near as faulty as the Xbox and/or Xbox360.

LOL i heard alot of Xboxes are crashing because being overheated, knew some thing would happen. Microsoft just brought this out WAY TO EARLY :laugh: :rofl:

PS3 for me still :cool:

[Gfunk4life]

im the king of killing a consoles, i avg 16-20 hours play a console after 1st day i get it.

2 DC dont work anymore.

the xbox i have played more then the DC and i never had a thing go wrong with my xbox, the disc only.

if any one can kill a console i can. so after i get my xbox360 i will let you know if something goes wrong.

Microsoft just brought this out WAY TO EARLY

so did you work on the xbox360, to know. did you work on anything having to do with a xbox360. if no, then how would your know
