How to stop your Xbox 360 from crashing:

Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String

and yet you still plan to buy one, and bragabout how you jimmy-rigged yuor Xbox 360 with 1337-ness :P

Another reason why I'm getting the Rev; I wont have to put any more effort into the console than driving to the store :P

Smells like a recall to me. I'll wait until PS3 launch day, and then piss off all the kids waiting in line by walking out with my newly-299.00 Premium xbox 360.

And something tells me I'll be hearing a lot about lost and/or broken revolution controllers. Those dag gum thingies are too small.

Edit: And let's hope it doesn't turn out like the GC. And make a wish for the PS3's price to be under $500. :-(

someone also did somthing like this by putting the power supply box on a empty shoe box strange but true

Basically keeping air circulating around it will help, hence taking it off a carpeted floor and setting it over a box, or keeping it suspended in midair.

PS3's will be $100+ more the xbox.
And another reason why xbox sucks ass tbh.

everyone saying that ps3 will be uber powerful when compared to xbox 360 will be dissapointed..

as when things get stronger, the weaknesses get larger.

when ps3 comes out , ul see wat i mean so u dont need to ask me wat it is.

oh and ppl saying ps3 will be a lot faster dont put in the fact that quliaty is better than quantity. the quality of xbox processer is better due to the fact that it happend to make a pact wit a certain company (not saying lol).

o yah, and ATI is working for microsoft...

How to stop your xbox from overheating?

Either buy a new one or put some water on the damn thing. XD

i never had a problem with mine and had it for like 4 weeks now

Most people will not have a problem, it is just the odd xbox here and there which does. Mine has been fine, and has sometimes been left on for 6 hours before it turns itself off.

lol sack that ill have my munny back and go back in 2 months when they've oiled the fans

Pretty nice solution XD. My damn xbox crashes a lot when i try listening to my music -.-'

Best solution is to get all xbox paid back and stop supporting Micrsoft with their unaccepted high prices!

The best solution to stop heating is don't buy one...

So far the graphics are pretty good! The same cannot be said about the content of the games...
