no
i don't worry about it at all
and i have this white chick(that's what i call the 360's shape) on all day long

ur probably 1 of the lucky ones, theres some rumor saying that theres a manufacturing error and very little dun hav tat deffect..

Its vice versa :rolleyes:

But its not the console here that is malfunctioning. It's just the power supply that gets to hot. So just hang it in the air. That would help some

so what does the PS look like? does it resemble the gamecubes?

But what is it and this hatred against the 360?

sounds like M$ didn't do a good job on making sure that their voltage regulators could handle the power dissipation....or if they did, then they didn't implement proper heatsinking or whatnot.

Whoever they had design the transformer/regulator deserves to be fired if he's supposed to be an EE, and if not he should be sent to get his EE degree. Such idiocy ought not to be tolerated.

About the heating. There seems to be some difference in 110V and 230V. A 110V variant has more energy loss so it does get warmer.

example
a power supply for a pc (talking about 1 powersupply)
230V = 300W output
110V = 250W output

I read it in an article wich said the power supply could be the problem for these crash problems

So basically those of us in the US got screwed royally?

<_<

you could cook a mass of human babies on that thing.......

mmmmmmmmm Babies /no1

You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.

so wat can u cook on it? kraft dinner?

by **Lilith** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 9:25 pm

I don't have one. :(

It's not energy loss, but energy dissipation. WHatever voltage regulators were in that power supply weren't rated to handle the kind of load they are being nailed with from the 110 VAC input. So, they heat up and if they are run for long enough, they eventually reach a critical point and fail and *wham* dead transformer psu.

edit: power (watts) = voltage * current

it's just two different conventions, the North American one uses a 110VAC (volts AC) standard and you crazy Europeans use a nutty 230 VAC standard.

got mine sunday, and not a problem yet, so to all you haters who probably havn't even tried it, and are just discriminating cuz they hate xbox UP YOURS

by **iffrett** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 3:29 pm

jus wait a little longer and play a little longer..... next thing u no- *boom! u game shuts off suddenly*

by **Sparhawk** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 4:41 pm

The first batch of new systems have defects.

by **Mystic Thunder** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 4:04 am

yeah. thats why you stay away from these things first.

by **Cataulin** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 11:32 am

I actually plan on getting one in the near future. (like feb/Marzo)

DOA4 and a few other games cough *ridge racer*cough got caught my intrest.

by **Mystic Thunder** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 12:18 pm

DOA died after part three.

i would never by 4 after hearing Spartan 459 or whatever is in it.

by **iffrett** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 4:12 pm

the only DOA game i heard of is the volleyball version

by **Sparhawk** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 4:51 pm

That game is funny however its just eye candy.

by **Cataulin** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:17 pm

Ive been meaning to by that game....... /gg

hehheh nude patch......

by **iffrett** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:12 pm
