| Warcraft Warrior  |  XBOX 360 probs? Ok, i've been reading some articles about some problems that some folks are having with their shiny new 360s: This pretty much sums it up. However, it remains to be seen whether or not the problems are widespread. EDIT: I'm ammending this because it now appears that the info that i posted (which was posted as a quote from Molly O'Donnell, a spokeswoman for Microsoft) was slightly optimistic. The following is what i've been seeing posted on numerous sights: link O'Donnell said the best way to resolve the issues is to call 1-800-4MY-XBOX for trouble shooting. If that does not solve the problem, she said, Microsoft (Research) will repair or replace the unit. What differs from my original post/ link is that the original stated that MS would also cover the costs of having the defective units shipped express/ next day shipping to and from the customers (which i thought was uber cool). It looks like that was either wishfull thinking/misquote or MS changed their mind. Either way, i thought that i needed to ammend the original post to reflect the information that i've been seeing on numerous reputable sites. | |

| Apex Tech Fanatic Supreme  | I'm thinking most of these "glitches" are either software related or the result of dumb@$$ error. As I've told people before...you wouldn't lock your high-end PC in solitary confinement with no ventiliation, you shouldn't do it to your 360 (or any system) either. | |

| N-Hoe-yd  | I waited in line 8 hours to get one, and i have my system and power supply in a very well ventilated area and I got random lockups occasionaly, sometimes even while just moving around in the dashboard. I sent it back and they gave me a brand new one.  Noyd | |

| Apex Techie Wannabe | Here is a theory I was thinking about the lack of shipments like promised to most stores around the US. Then i thought maybe Microsoft stop the scheduled shipments when all these problems occured. So, the reson the shipments have not come like promised is because Microsoft is tring to make sure that the next shipments dont have those problems. Just a theory! | |

| Apex Techie Wannabe | Question for anyone who has xbox 360. Does anyone know if the ESPN NFL 2k5 game can play on the 360? I know it is not on any official lists, but i thought that just maybe it will play anyway. I will play Madden, but i am not ready to give up my 2k5 just yet. Please let me know if anyone has tried the game!!! | |

| Apex Tech Fanatic Supreme | also, the backwards compatibility list for the 360 is always growing. They just added the entire Tom Clancy lineup (pretty much...at least..) to it in an online update...eventually 90% of XBOX games will be able to be playd on the 360... | |
