Oh, ther eis whining, flaming, gushes of fanoisms, and those smacking the fanbois down. I find it entertaining.

It would have been more amusing if it were a PS3. You know since it resembles a George Foreman grill. You could claim it was a design feature.

 

hahaha This made me laugh. I can imagine how much easier it would be to game and cook if I could do it on the same system.

MMORPGs are fine because they promote social interaction. The alternative would be the same social disfunctional ppl gaming alone... which I suppose isn't that bad in hindsight.

I'm anti-social. It wouldn't do me any good. Well if you can PK than I would enjoy it.

Does anyone in this thread actually own a 360?

 

There is a guy with a vader avatar. He has one. I assume mkreku will have access to a 360 cos like he's a reviewer.

Just days after the Xbox 360 launched in the US, the Internet has been awash with reports of consoles crashing or freezing - but it seems gamers themselves could be to blame for the problem.

 

According to reports, many Xbox 360 owners are attempting to hide the console's power supply unit out of sight, and placing it in areas where there is not enough ventilation as a result.

 

Just as when a PC crashes if it gets too hot and there's a risk of fire, the Xbox 360's PSU apparently then shuts down - which means you should be leaving plenty of space around the power pack so that air can circulate and the two built-in fans can do their job.

One Xbox 360 owner found a particularly inventive solution to the problem - as detailed on the GameSpot forum.

 

The poster, "goldeneyemaster", claims his Xbox 360 was crashing "like once every 20 minutes," so he suspended it in the air with a bit of string - which did the trick.

 

He also found that perching the PSU on a box worked just as well: "I left the console on for seven hours without crashing (I finally decided to turn it off)."

 

Microsoft declined to comment on whether or not it's definitely the PSU overheating which is causing the crashes, with a spokesperson simply telling us: "Because Xbox 360 has three powerful processing cores, customers may notice that it runs a bit warmer than other game consoles, but this heat output is well within the acceptable and safe range for a CE device of this type and has passed all applicable safety certifications.

 

"There is no systemic issue with Xbox 360. Each incident is unique and these customer inquiries are being handled on a case-by-case basis."

 

Rumours that future Xbox 360s will come bundled with a bit of string are completely made up.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

HA!

 

Oh, the X Box server, where all the complaints and such go, is down for some odd reason. ROOFLES!

What puzzles me is they make a f'ugly PSU the size of a brick then expect you to leave it on display.

Hopefully in europe, where the standard is 220V, there shouldn't be the same heat/voltage problems as in the US.

My room is a mess when it comes to wires. My Ps2, GameCube, X-Box, LapTop, TV, 8 CD BoomBox, and N64 are all plugged into the same SurgeMaster.

No, honey, you're just boring.

Only if you count "griefing" as valid social interaction.

I wonder why Epiphany hasn't come back to the thread... :thumbsup:"

Maybe he got an X Box 360 and it died on him in 50 seconds after turning it on, which he then had an epiphany that the X Box 360 truly does suck and is now hiding inshame. Just a theory, ya know.

I heard he eloped with a 360 and then had a burns related accident while trying to consummate the relationship.

Ban?

I don't know if he was banned or not but I do know he was on some sort of probation with the moderators. In any case if he does have the new x box I hope its working for him.

I have seen the movie and it is... interesting.

It's old and doesn't look appealing.

Whoooooooosh!

 

If you have never seen it, then you should. Good film. Back when Robert Deniro acted in films, rather than produced them and 'phoned his lines in ...
