xbox-scene.com— There appear to be increasing reports of Xbox 360s crashing even with games running on default settings. Could this be an early sign of serious defects or a problem between the gamepad and chair?

So much for the damage control story that all those crashing Walmart demo units were just 'non-final hardware'Right along with the damage control 'beta devkit' excuses for the crappy looking 360 games.What a disaster. Gotta be a great feeling waiting for your pre-order to come in so you can package the turd of a console right back up and send it off the Microsoft 360 recall we will be seeing.
i dont know if this was mentioned already but, at the end of the video you can hear one of the guys saying "yup, it didnt take long", he says this as soons as the "crash" takes place. i cant help but wonder whether or not they tried to make it crash by over clocking it or modding it......ya never know
Why do people that don't have 360's post your comments. I believe that number of bad units is small. My unit, as well as my 3 friends units work perfectly. I own a ps2, xbox, gamecube, and now the 360. I like them all and will also buy a ps3 and revolution. Until a definitive answer comes from either microsoft or of public everyone should stop complaining for or against the unit. Its a damn game system, get over it. What ever the haters say, if you want to play great looking 720p games that graphically blow away every other console, the only thing to do is get a 360 period!!! Thats why I have one, to play nextgen games. These are nextgen games by the way. Anyone who has played the 360 on a nice hdtv knows what I am talking about. So everyone be happy and play games.
If you really want one then get one. If it crashes you are going to get another one on the house. I would wait to see how PS 3 is, don't want X Box to fade out.
