Where is your 360 being placed?

If you have it on its side or on the carpet it tends to do that sometimes

Well, I got it like a few years ago. I did a good dusting and cleaning of my room over the summer. O_0

Maybe I need to clean the XBox?

Possibly.

Older models tend to break down sadly. Just send it in to Microsoft and take advantage of that 3 years warranty

Holy fuck. I called them last week and was supposed to receive my shipping label through email and still have not received it yet. I tried calling them tonight but could not get to the people on my repair request. psyduck;

so we've learned the solution to this problem is to never buy a 360 in the first place

Woah Kono has changed from the cock sucking nintendo fanboy he was a couple of months ago.

If this post was made a couple of months ago Kono would of probably said something along the lines of "lol because shit games have shit in them"

The wii is a lot worse for that.

I'm sorry. Having issues with the 360 is horrible because Microsoft is so slow.

I sent mine in probably three weeks ago and last time I had to do this (probably last year) I had to keep calling Microsoft to insure that they were going to send it back (which they did eventually)
you can get a free month of XBL for it though!

Well, that isn't the system's fault.
Get a gamefly account or go to your local Blockbuster or Hollywood video and start trying the games before you buy them, also most games have started releasing demos a month or so before their game is released so you can still test it out.

Also, why hasn't there been a wifi enabled 360 released yet? It's pointless to force people to buy that $100 dongle now that they have competition from Sony and the Wii, both wifi enabled. That's the only fault I see in the system as of now.

The TV I generally use for gaming is nowhere near an ethernet cable, which is why I have linksys rigged up to anything wireless (Wii, DS, laptops, etc.), that's why I was just thinking out loud here.
