Xbox 360 Glitches Reported Elizabeth Millard, newsfactor.com
37 minutes ago



In an informal online poll, some Xbox 360 users have
noted that they are seeing glitches in their gaming consoles.



On the Teamxbox.com site, run by Fox Interactive unit IGN
Entertainment, a poll on the forums indicated that
between 14 and 16 percent of respondents are
having problems with their machines.

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) has not reported any major
issues and has noted that any difficulties are only
in a very small number of the consoles.

The Xbox 360 was released on November 22, and online
discussion sites have been filling up with reports on the
gameplay features since then.

Current Issues

In the Teamxbox.com forum, about 100 users
have reported issues with their consoles. Problems related
to possible overheating seem to be the most common issue,
with machine shutdowns as a result.

Users have reported that their machines shut down
after only about a half hour of play, and
troubleshooting efforts uncovered heating issues.

The results of the poll are unscientific, and are not being
seen on other parts of the Web. Some observers
have pointed out that users experiencing problems
would be more likely to report them on the site
than users who are happy with their Xbox 360
experience, which would skew the poll's results.

Also, there are a number of satisfied users also weighing
in on the Xbox 360. Currently, about 600 respondents
not only have reported no trouble,
but also have praised the console for its interface
and controller functions.

Wait and See

Possible problems with the Xbox 360 are likely to
be limited in scope, noted Forrester Research
analyst Ted Schadler,
simply because the consoles are sold out.

"Clearly, it's a hot product because you can't get one,
" he said. "There's a serious shortage in
available units, which is interesting,
considering the holiday season is so close."

But loss of holiday dollars could work out in Microsoft's
favor if glitches really do have to be fixed,
Schadler added.

"A staged rollout might be a way to minimize
the impact of any issues, if they exist," he noted.

You know I preordered mine two months ago at EB in Homestead.  I got it at 12 o'clock the night it came out.  The only thing I can't stand about the thing is that I can't stop playing it.  Already beat GUN, and about halfway through Call of Duty 2.  But the game that everyone has to get with it is PGR3.  Project Gotham Racing 3, it will flat out stop you from riding..................for a little bit anyway.

Yeah Ill wait on the Xbox I might get the new Playstation, good info!

[RL400]

I'll tell you why they have so many problems.

They used IBM Power PC processors that easily overheat.  They are very powerful, just have a heating problems.  Thats the same processor that Apple Computers use.  In the early stages of the 360 Microsoft used an Apple PowerMac G5 to power the XBOX 360.  Weird huh, Microsoft used an Apple product to power their new console.  Apple Computers are switching to Intel Processors so they can become more powerful, without the overheating issues.

GJ Microsoft.  Another horrible product. :ThumbsUp.gif

No bashing intended, but, you can get an Atari real cheap now, too! And, how quickly we forget the mass failures of PS2s optical eyes! My family has 2 XBox 360s they've played for hours per day without any "glitches".  It's all relative and only a friggin game, folks.

I have never been a fan of X-Box myself, I never owned one and when I do play X-Box at my friends houses the controllers are way to big or way to small and all the buttons are confusing. I will stick with PlayStation.

[RL400]

The Playstation series has always been better imo.  I try not to support microsoft anyways.

[Pastense]

Ofcourse it is only a game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but it sure beats the heck out of pinocle. (pea knuckle)

niice, how'd you get them? stood in line for awhile? or got a hook up?

by the way, theres ways of fixing the overheating problems in the 360.
if you open it up and put something small under the processors (just enough to have air flow) it should fix it. ... from what i've heard.
