XBox 360 crashes

[NewGen33]

There have been reports of XBox 360 crashes everywhere.

So, the Xbox 360’s been available for, what, 15 minutes, and already the crash reports are streaming in. According to postings on Xbox-Scene and other fan sites, some early adopters are discovering that waiting on line in the cold for two years to snag a box was the least of their problems: the game consoles are allegedly crashing during a variety of games and reporting a range of error messages. There’s even a pic up on flickr that purports to show the 360 crashing as the Microsoft logo loads. Sure, it’s too early to declare this a pandemic and start hurling Xboxes out of windows, but it still has us wondering: How’s your 360 holding up?

P.S. And yes, our Xbox has crashed a bit too — though nothing too terrible.

playstation 3 is gonna blow them out anyway, 360 has bad ass graphics but all these problems

[ChnkyLao]

damn that sucks ^^^agree

[MachNU]

^^^^^You are both idiots....jsut thought you guys should know that! Since PS3 will do better becuase ti will be another year before they come out, and they have 1 yar to test, and see all the problems that Xbox had so they know what to chekc up on in there systems and what to make sure works 100%. This happened to PS when it first came out years ago then Xbox followed it with no problems. So stop being hyprocrites and realize that this was going to happen for the newest of the next generation.

P.s. HINCE why most of us said we wont get it until afer there first few shipments, and problems are fixed!

Yep, I'm waiting until the spring, let them iron out the wrinkles.

PS people will always look to bash XBOX, but oh well. They got the system out quick so there are bound to be some early glitches. Just like when a new model car comes out, they can test it all they want but the first year ALWAYS has issues, this is the same thing. Sony will take this time to make sure these glitches dont happen but its because they have the extra time to do it. The first wave I said a month ago Id wait, because you have to expect issues at first. Its all new shit.

you guys act like the ps3 is the same system as xbox. their completely different. Software is completely different and hardware. The glitches caused by xbox are mostly software. Cant say ps3 will look to fix that in theirs as they dont know what to look for as the software is completely different.

By saying ps3 has a year to work out the details your saying that their purposely delaying it for this reason. Not true. Their giving it the same development time that they promised when they first announced it. Their not pushing it back to "fix anything". it was microsoft who pushed their release date up to hurry it.

People still buy the hell out of them. Doesnt even work but people are paying 2500 for them. You could get an s13 that did work (barely) for that much.

Once again. God Bless America.

Where in my post did you see me say Sony pushed thier date back? I am quite aware of what the release date is and has been, Dont assume. I was saying Sony still has plenty of time to get thier stuff perfected before its released.

Tha Xbox 360 Help Hotline is Flooded up with fukkin complaints.








oh and PS3 is coming out in spring 06 April-May

[eViLMunkey]

Last I have heard programmers are having problems writing games for the PS3.... and I haven't heard of any crashing... like the ones in stores not having problems... and which boxes crashed..... the gold series or the cheapo series...

[DerrickT]

mircosoft out to take that christmas cash nice going MS. way to go America...
just wait six months until the price drops. until then play your idiot buddy's who paid god knows how much for it

[Hulud]

all i know is im glad im waiting so they can fix the bugs

[blacknightteg]

they did push the release date back for ps3 its scheduale to be released sometime in march...this is what one of the people in the games department at my store told me

[4dmin]

ya they have a BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH it is a system failure... ive gotten it 2x already... all ya do is restart windows !!!

but who cares PS3 will still sux... Gates has more than enough money to keep loosing until he wins the market... xbox owned like 25% of the market before 360 now just wait come 06 i bet they own 50% or more... Playstations worst idea was to push back PS3 to spring... mom and daddy won't be paying 2000$ for PS3 in the spring b/c little johnny already got 360 . And Sony has made no mention of up'n their online game play Xbox Live fucking OWNS and w/ the new marketplace - Sony has some major ground to make up; cause not like they have all of the good games any more.

Sony's online sux anyway because you have to pay by the game to use it. I was a fan of Sony for two reasons. The amount of games and the feel of the controller (I didnt like feel ofthe original Xbox controller. I think the 360 controller is smaller). Now I am hooked on PC games so my son plays my PS2, I havent played it in months.

That is weird, i read on gameinformer that the publishers praised the ease of writing games for PS3, and there are already almost a hundred games in the process right now of being done, as well as GT5 already completed

[green91]

im holding out for the ps3.

[Ran]

im holding out for the ps3.

Same here, but even then I won't be on the first release list. It's kind of like buying the first year production for a car. Things are going to break. Let them work out all the kinks and then pick one up once you know that they're tried and true.

Also, my XBOX360 went for $1400 on E-Bay just after the day of release. That's the only reason I got one.

[JITB]

The PS2's Specs arent even released yet. SOoo waht exactly are u all waiting for? And those outarageous specs form E3, went out the sindow along time ago. Son ylies too much aout there products..i might get a ps3..

[Brett]

People just either are loyal to one brand or the other, PS3 people are hyped about a machine they have no facts on yet...lol

[Hulud]

It's the truth, Hulud(what the fucc is a Hulud?...lolol). There are diehard Xbox fans out there that won't have anything to do with Playstation and vice versa. I was one of them years ago. When the Atari 2600 and Colecovision came out, I was all about the 2600. I was all over Combat and couldn't stand anything related to the Coleco. Later, QD.

[MachNU]

^^^^ WOW thats a blast from the past!

lol
yea i know there are diehard fans out there but i feel its pathetic. i mean just play the system that the game is for. hell xbox has great games and so does ps2 i play what i feel at the time i dont limit myself

[green91]

the guys at sony are not dummies. do you really think they will wait 6 months to release an inferior, buggy machine? sorry guys but sony has been on the cutting edge moreso that microsoft as far as video gaming. imo, the only thing the last xbox had on the ps2 was the hard drive memory storage.

yeah. i hear ya man. just do whatever works foryou. i personaly dont have an xbox/360 and dont really plan to, ive been more of a PS person, they seem to have more games that appeal to me.

everyone has thier oppinions about the systems. so leave it at that and just play the damned games! lol

[Hulud]

to be honest i tend to buy games for xbox more because its more multi-person friendly.
and the only game i play on ps2 is socom but whatever

[5thgcelica]

^^ yeah and thats why i stray away from xbox..is because its got a lot of multi player games. i dont play video games with anyone else. its a rare occasion.

PS2's had the worst dvd dries ever made. 2 of mine broke.. And im sure everyone has had a ps2 were it stopped reading blue discs. IT happens..cutting edge, Sony's online is still years behind. ITs not even established yet... it took xbox live about a year to get setteld in. Plus you never know how your product is gonna act until it hits the market and you got millions of ppl playing with it.. soo bugs are ineveidable... I cant wait to see waht the ps3 is gonna be put out specs wise, i hope it is better than the 360 tho...in the end we all win.. i just hope it doesnt cost more.
