Lies. It's sony fanboys doing this to make people stop buying the new Xbox 360. The new 360 can't RROD so they are covering the vents on purpose to make the 360 shutdown.

I really didn't expect the new 360 to be fail-proof, or any electronic for that matter.

One does not put a heat producing thing ontop of the main air intake of the other thing and expect it to run. and yet again as I said, dead power brick not dead system. Take it back to the store, or call microsoft.

Ok, it's a dead power brick. Can you explain how? Or you just assuming? Also Objection. As I said IF he is telling the truth. The second you turn on the system isn't gonna be the second the brick goes dead either.

Ok when you turn the 360 on and its not connect to a tv you get a red light is it me or is the only cable in the machine the power one. Plus if the power box overheats it shuts off and he starts off by having his sitting on a turned on electrical item WTF no wonder it overheated!!!

Yet one vid of a 360 slim overheat and we are suppose to believe that all of them are the same. Did you know this is a trolling topic? What part of this broad generalization did this new topic serve if any?

Return it to the store, or call microsoft repaired or replaced for free./

Then why would you need a major gaming site if it's happening.I guess to you it's not an issue unless it's on every web page right?

Highly unlikely with the PS3 failure rate being less than 5%, while in the 360 slim's case it's ironic because of the old model being so unreliable
