Those include remarks that PGR3 crashes before the finish of the first lap.[url=http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=462241:7763f]PGR3 crashes before the finish of the first lap.[/url:7763f] ([url=http://x900.putfile.com/videos/3260052289.mpg:7763f]Video of said crash.[/url:7763f])

Now, the only reason I bring this up is because I can't verify anything...seeing as how I haven't received my box yet. Can anyone, on this board, confirm or deny what these guys are saying?

Anyway, if it's as big a problem as it might be, I figured all you 360 people yet to get your console might want a heads up.

i can just imagine the disappointment those kids feel. get home, plug in your brand fucking new xbox 360 and then boom... it doesnt work. owned.

that thread went on to talk about how somewhere near half of xbox owners are having problems.

that pig is f'ing huge

According to ms this only affects 1 in 75000 consoles, how they pulled that number out of their ass im not exactly sure.

Probably badly fitted heatsinks or something causing the instability.

why the fuk dont they just return the fuking thing to the store and get another?
