Xbox 360 bugs / glitches
There are reports that Xbox 360s are glitching in the US and Canada. Apparently it’s not a really low number either. How typical of Microsoft. Anyway here is a paste of the CNN article:
Some owners complained that their systems were crashing during game play, sometimes with error messages popping up.
“It’s a few reports of consoles here and there not working properly,” said Molly O’Donnell, a spokeswoman for Microsoft’s Xbox division. “It’s what you would expect with a consumer electronics instrument of this complexity …. par for the course.”
Gaming fanatics lined up for hours Monday to be among the first to purchase the next-generation system, which was in short supply despite its starting price tag of $299.99. Microsoft hopes to sell 2.5 million to 3 million of the new systems in the first 90 days.
O’Donnell urged anyone with Xbox problems to call 1-800-4myXbox or go to www.xbox.com. If the problems can’t be resolved immediately, Microsoft said it will pay to ship the console overnight to a repair center, overnight it back once it’s fixed, or ship a replacement.
Obviously Microsoft is willing to help you in a situation like this. But things are going to get busy around the Christmas season. I am glad mine isn’t bugging out right now *crosses fingers*
