Microsoft have announced there is a problem with the X-Box 360 with the chips overheating causing freezing and crashing.

well after being sensible for all of 7 months with an L200 Warrior pickup I invested in this:



its only the 260 but its had a bit of fettling should be pushing 300 i would think, awsome cars. However I would still have a bought an Escos if I didn't need to drive it everyday

and whats your chariot these days you were trying to sell your white Escos I believe last time I was around?

My nephew got one and his has been playing call of duty no problems, he has a core system as opposed to the premium systems pack. Check this out for some information:

Yes we have a core pack as well, but the machine hangs on any game we have, I have just tried laying it flat as the end seems to have more holes in it than the long side.

We have a hard drive for ours though as well I wonder whether that is blocking the heat coming out from the top when its stood on its end ???

Oh andy just before you go a common cause of overheating is people can set it beside a radiator thats set for full heat which raises the tempeature!
