    Crash reports dog Xbox 360 launch

    Crash reports dog Xbox 360 launch

    Some owners reported crashes during game play
    Some Xbox 360 owners are starting to report problems with their brand new next generation gaming console.
    Messages posted to gaming forums and discussion groups mention that consoles have crashed during play thanks to several different errors.

    The crashes were reported as happening with a variety of games including Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing and Need for Speed.

    Microsoft acknowledged the reports but said incidents were "isolated".

    Crash tests

    New owners of the console posted complaints about crashes to the Engadget, Xbox Scene, Team Xbox and Microsoft's official Xbox 360 forums.

    The messages posted reported that some of the consoles stopped working after a short bout of playing or crashed during a game and flashed up an error number. Some users posted video and photographs of the crash screens.

    The reports suggest that the Xbox 360s are falling victim to a variety of errors rather than the crashes being caused by the same glitch. The scattered reports make it hard to gauge how widespread the problems are.

          If I was Sony, I would hire a few dozen people to start threads on boards talking about crashes. You only need a spark to start a fire.

                      The system has been tested by 1000's of game testers. Im sure if their was an error's it picked up and fixed. Its beyond retarded to relese something without proper testing. Im sure its just BS, unless they were trying to rush the release.

                          I bet it was humor error. Like the system with the errors was not put together right in the factory.

                                                      A GAMER fed up with his new Xbox 360 crashing every 20 minutes has fixed the problem by raising the power supply off the ground with some string.

                                                      Dan, from Duluth, he thinks the main reason that the xBox 360 freezes is because the power supply overheats. The solution is to lift the power supply off the floor and allow the air to circulate better around it.

                                                      Another simple method involved getting a box with no cover and putting the power supply on the edges.

                                                      As a result, he was able to leave his machine on for a stonking seven hours without it freezing up.

                                                              This is the reason I think I am going to pass on the 360. I had purchased the original Xbox on launch and mine locks up fairly often. It is very annoying to say the least.

                                                                                      Didn't see this coming a mile away.

They lose money on every one they sell so they can make money on games down the road. You act as if they just don't care when there's really no way to launch this big without some problems.

                                                                                          Its a double edged sword. They could have delayed launch and pissed a LOT of people AND miss a crucial time period for launch, or they could have launched and pissed off a small percentage of people due to problems. Obviously they chose the latter, which was probably the best decision.
