to prevent it from dying it will just shut down? in the middle of gameplay? epic fail

atleast the ps3 has extra fans that kick in if its overheating, instead of just completely shutting down. what if im 2 seconds away from beating a boss, it will just turn off? i was thinking aboiut upgrading to the slim 360 but this news has me thinking to not

The ED-209 in Robocop gave a warning before it was supposed to shut down, and look what happened to that poor, young business guy.

The PS3 will shut down if it overheats, too - though it'll do more of a hard lock than an actual shutdown. With either console you have to subject it to some insane temperatures or extremely poor ventilation to get that result.

well this is a step in the right direction, it's alot better than getting rrod.

I still don't like the idea of paying for online and the lack of first party.

You're not forced to pay for online, and the lack of a first party isn't exactly a big deal when you have a plethora of titles to choose from in the largest and most varied library out of the consoles.

Or just be a 60/80 gb ps3 owner who plays daily. Cheap solder joints cant take 3 years of heating up and rapidly cooling down without cracking.

This just sounds like a thread for people to find something to complain about for the new Xbox 360s. Stand it up right so the fancan vent out the heat and secondly keep it in a fairl open area so the heat can escape and not come back to suffocate the system. I have a PS3 and I noticed a huge difference in how the system performed once I placed in a fairly enclosed tv cabinet. It got alot hotter and the fan was working extra hard. I placed it back on my small tv stand where the PS3 has lots of air ventilation and voila....less heat and noise. Maybe you should keep your Xbox out of dusty carpeted areas too.

The 360 Slime..I mean...slim is nothing more than another sorry attempt for MS to keep putting out their junk. At least it looks cool I guess....NOTE TO MS...please stop the production of the 360 and all the different sku#..You have totally ruined the reputation of the original Xbox.

Or it could just die in the middle of gameplay.

At least you get a warning, and you get to keep a working system, too.

idk, I'd guess it was a minor problem anyways.

I've tried looking for common problems among the Original Xbox myself, I could never turn anything up.

That would be fine if it created a temporary auto-save just before turning off, so you could pick back up exactly where you left off.

for once, i can agree with one of your posts. I would much rather have to replay a mission in 30 minutes than having to replay it in two weeks because the game froze with RRoD

that seems to be far more isolated then people posting more and more threads about false hoods on the 360 S

nvm I didn't realize it was happening so much now that i've went into quite a few of the locked threads.

Where's that one single only guy that had this problem so far at. I wanted to ask him did his console starting blinking the red dot but he was still able to play? And if after seeing the on screen message, did it shut down the console automatically?

So The 360 slim is unreliable, cause from what i've heard from coutnless users, is that it runs far cooler, and is far more quiet.

I think people are taking small incident, and blowing them out of proportion in anticipation for what "could" be the new RROD - It's likely that this is simply the first batch niggles that always occur.
