XB360 - reviews coming in.....
Well, true to my expectations of Microsuck, they have apparently released the XB360 in much the same manner as they did their Windoze products - lots of hype & lots of bugs.
Reportedly, many people who purchased the first run of XB360s are experiencing system crashes like this one. article 1 article 2 Of course, the original xbox went through 7 firmware revisions, iirc, to correct and improve bugs. And there was that pesky problem of burning your house down. I even remember reading that the initial run of PS2 systems also had a very high failure rate. I guess that's just the nature of the business.

I picked mine up on Tuesday and so far i'm pretty impressed. The capabilities are what the original xbox should have been. I don't have a real good review at this point but like I said so far it's pretty cool.

Cash, how is your xbox running?

No problems from my "xBox Classic". I did not do the whole game fanatic thing to buy an XB360. My post was passing along info from a racing friend who is having problems with his... like 15 minutes out of the box. Found the web articles while trying to find some support info.

I thought xb something was a new tire. Showing my age but what's this doing here? Shouldn't it be in \a website playroom somewhere that deals in games?

Apparently M$ mad the XB360 w/ a screw-less case ( well, almost), to make it as difficult as possible to open the
case without breaking it, in hopes of thwarting would-be modders. Didn't take long for someone to post a "How To" . Check it out, nice pictures and description of the inner workings of the SB360.

It's MSFT--when did anything they produce work the first time around? Or the second? Or the third...?
PS I love misguided OT police who don't even read the forum rules  .
