Goldeneyemaster over at the GameSpot forums indicates that the main reason for his Xbox 360 freezing up is the power supply overheating. The solution is to lift the power supply off the floor and allow the air to circulate better around it."
LMAO...you think they'd avoid such a simple problem...damn the box designers (shape for thermal efficiancy)

lol, whatever works i guess. Although, i'd be pissed if i had spent so much on a system with a problem like that.

That's exactly why me and my friend are going to wait till next year to buy one. Let everyone else deal with the early production glitches.

I would thought admitting to being at a Windows release is more funnier than seeing Windows crash :P

i recieved all sorts of free software from MAJOR software developers, definately was worth it. it was also free to attend, and only required signing up beforehand with my respective company (Bay Wood Inc. at the time) :wink:

i made a lot of contacts in the industry at the windows unvielings ive attended, and would've benefited me if i stayed in the computer science routs.

so no, i am definately not embarrased by it :)
