Fed up with MS not making things work the first time. I brought the chunky 360 and have had 3 of them due to The 3 Red lights. I brought kinect the other day and it freezes on games and demos. This is not just me its on alot of the old chunky 360's and if MS says it will work it should and not freeze. Ive tried everything from clearing the Cache to even formating and still dont work. Its fine on the Dash board but as soon as the games try loading it just freezes. My other games are fine what are not for kinnect but soon as a kinnect game goes on it freezes.

If you have the older xbox 360's with the kinect adapter that make it alot harder to run. but if you have the slim then it doesn't make any sense.

It might be made for it but MS says it works with all the 360's and if they say that then it should work with all of them not just the slim version.

Might send MS an email then saying i want a very big discount of the slim. I no its only £150 for the 250GB now but i shouldnt have to buy it when i already have a 360 which should work when they say it should. Alright if they said it will not work and i brought then it be my falt but the fact that MS said it will and it dont then this makes me mad. Sorry big rant.

I don't think they will listen to you about a big discount...but I do know that there is an adapter for the kinect system into the old 360s....but its really short so your xbox needs to be in the right position

Most people already have a pc. Mine is for reading news, netflix, and photo-editing. My 360 is for gaming, which btw this is a 360 forum. OP do you have xbox live for the updates? If so, and it still doesnt work maybe you should contact ms and see if they will do anything. I know that's like pulling teeth but its worth a shot.

Really, you must be terrible at taking care of them. I have had my Xbox 360 for about 5 years now and nothing has happened. I keep GREAT care of it, unlike some people...
