I'll say it again...get the extended warranty! <br>With the warranty you return the console back to the store if there are problems.<br><br>1 out of 3 Xbox 360 machines will have hardware failure due to overheating. They use a 90nm chip that gets very hot. The X brace supporting the chip will not allow for expansion and the board cracks. <br><br>I sent my brand new console back to Microsoft and they sent me a refurbished machine which is going through the same problems the original machine had. Screen freeze ups, disconnects from on-line play and disc error readings. I have a 6" diameter fan blowing on it while playing games.<br><br>Wait for the new machines with the 60nm chip. <br><br>Go to <a href="http://xbox.com" rel="nofollow">xbox.com</a> to read the posts from angry gamers.voreTue, 14 Aug 2007 20:58:53 -0000
