Xbox 360's overheating due to Mass Effect 2 demos

Seems like they are pushing it to the limit. Can't wait for this game to come out. Hopefully they won't overheat the systems after release.

Well, these things happen. It wouldn't be the first tradeshow for this too happen.

This won't affect gamers opinion though, the has great games, and while it may suffer from RROD/E74/Disc Scratching, it still sells just fine due to the good warranty. :)

ME2 should be fun, it's crazy that EA owns the IP now.

Buh BU the Jasperz!

MS + gamescon = FAIL

I did love to know how this guy came with the conclusion that is overheating because the console is ''being pushed to its limits'' overheating can be caused by many factors you know,no enough room to flow the hot air inside the console and small places like the xbox 360 kiosk's,My Radeon HD 4870x2 was overheating when playing Half Life 2...but it doesn't overheat when i play crysis.. My 4870X2 can't handle Half Life 2 :roll:.L33tbanneador

Does anyone else get the image of the Mass Effect Game over screen, but with a 360 instead (With the awesome death music of course.)or am I just wierd?

Thats retarded, basically any non XBLA game uses at least the GPU 100%, if not the CPU depending on how well it is multithreaded. I'm guessing the overheating issues came from bad ventilation in the kiosks and the hot, crowded, convention hall. ME2 was also probably getting more playtime then the average demo.

did anyone actually click the link? because it doesnt say anything about overheating.....

edit:

nevermind i saw it.

What is the cause of all these 360 failures?

Did they overclock the bejeesus out of the CPU or something?

Ouch. You'd think that they would have noticed that in R&D, and thereby opted for a more efficient cooling fan and/or heat sink.

It's a design flaw with the box.
