Ha ha they think there could be a 'timebomb' in the 360 so in many cases soon after it comes out of its warenty [sp?] it breaks.

why would they spend money putting one of those into the console just to make it break?
what are they gunna gain from that?

More money, popular console, everyone wants one, no proof they are the ones causing the problems and they can do what they want with it really, if proof does appear that they are causing the problems then they are in a big hole that will quickly fill up with law suits by the dozens, if this is true it's because they expect people to buy one, it'll mess up so they buy another, it'll just be a typical scam, I've had mine for a week now and it occassionally freezes, it is stupidly loud alot of the time aswell I'm thinking of contacting Microsoft about it

[Joahh]

I saw that as i was walking past the tv ;P But they talked about GoW while showing Graw, wasnt too pleased ;]

[:Hazel]

i only got mine last week, pfft. :@

[Jcshua]

I got mine when it came out, no problems what so ever.

If you don't play it 24/7, you won't get this problem.

I should be ok then ;)

i've had mine since early september and, touch wood, I have had no real problems. Friend of mine has had the 3 red lights though.

[Cwmbran]

My friend got his for Christmas the year it came out, unwraped it Christmas morning plugged it in put his game in 30Minutes later.. Flames, flames coming from the back of his 360.

I have had one since Christmas this year no problems at all so far. :)

[Marky.]

im on mine 24/7.. lol even leave it on some times when i go out

[chips]

The ps2 had something similar most would just break after 3 years
