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.

wow ide be mad if i waited all night camping in a tent to get one then it have problems lol

 :) i'm glad i don't own one ;) .
I'll wait untill glitches are fixed,
and try get halo3 later on down road. 8)

Thanks for this thread :ThumbsUp.gif I was going to go buy one, But know I'll wait until they get it fixed.  This always happens to new stuff.

I was thinking about it?? But the price will drop alot in a few months thanks for the thread! ;D

lol..... thats y i got a quad

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!

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.

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

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

pffftt xbox360, i just found my nintendo 64 and my super nintendo in a box the other day, ive been playing those thing like crazy!

yeah dude SNES is the best console ever made!  super mario kart is the best.

na... il stick with thumb wrestling..... lol

sold 4 on e-bay for over $1000.00 each.  ;)

you have one left over right, for me and ricky jr. to use at the camp >:D :P

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.

If you go on alibab.com then you can get a hold of all the foreign wholesalers who have them in stock.

I have 2 left, will have 2 more next week. jesse you looking for one?

if i had the money i would :'(  i mean 1k is 3/4 what i payed for my bike lol

Microsoft sued over alleged Xbox 360 glitch 1 hour, 51 minutes ago
 


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.'s new     Xbox 360 has sued the world's largest software maker, saying the new video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and freeze up.


 
 
The proposed class action claims that in Microsoft's bid to gain share in the $25 billion global video game market, the company was so intent on releasing the Xbox 360 before competing next-generation machines from Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). and Nintendo Co Ltd. that it sold a "defectively designed" product.

Robert Byers, who brought the suit, said the power supply and central processing unit in the Xbox 360 overheat, affecting heat-sensitive chips and causing the console to lock up.

Microsoft spokeswoman Molly O'Donnell on Monday said the company does not comment on pending litigation.

Complaints about the problem surfaced quickly on gaming enthusiast Web sites after the Xbox 360 debuted on November 22.

Console owners reported that some systems had crashed during regular use as well as during online game play using the Xbox Live service. Problems included screens going black and the appearance of a variety of error messages.

At the time O'Donnell told Reuters: "We have received a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected."

She declined to say how many reports Microsoft had received and said that calls reporting the issue to the company represented a "very, very small fraction" of units sold.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday in federal court in Illinois, seeks unspecified damages and litigation-related expenses, as well as the replacement or recall of Xbox 360 game consoles.

hahah i just got a ps2 like during the summer boy im late lol

u can fix the glitches by installing another fan on the console it self...they are overheating and thus causing glitches

I know they need  fix the glitches.
They should made a recalled it. :foot.gif :K :dunno.gif

I guess alot  xbox360 system going  be off the market shelfs soon. :X
Untill they fix the problem.This is not looking good  on xbox360
people  :M who bought the system on first day it when it was release.

Next time they release new video game system
I'll wait one month untill the game system hads problems. :K

We have to see when ps3 comes out next year. 8)

Like I said before,
I dont have a problem with mine..................and believe me I am no fan of Gates. I own a MAC mini and honestly can't stand my Sony Viao! 

I guess i'm luckier than most in this respect, cause I haven't had a problem yet.  Just finished the single player campaign of Call of Duty 2.  Game rocked except the ending , somewhat anticlimatic.  Now I'll tackle Perfect Dark 0.  I'll let you all know if it crashes or locks up on me.

be glad ya'll didn't get suckered into one of these!
