As I have been playing my XBOX this past week, I have noticed that not only is it very loud because of the fans, it is also by far the hottest running piece of equipment in my electronics rack. I was wondering last week as I was noticing this if it was going to be a problem. Apparently there are some blog sites stating that thier XBOX 360 is crashing and overheating. I personally have had no problems with it so far. But I am wondering what the long term affects of running such a hot device will have on the unit. I am continuing to talk to Microsoft about this as they monitor the issue with their support department.

How could this have passed XBOX testing? You'd think they'd have a few dozen testers take these home and run them for a few weeks at least...
I'm surprised.. Be interesting to find out how widespread this is... if it's just <1%, then maybe test didn't catch it...

Ben's Response: I am talking to Microsoft about this currently and hoping to get some insights as to how widespread this is or if it is just a fluke.
