X-Box 360 released on Nov. 22. Guess it was too much trouble to return it to MS for service under the 90 day warranty.

The hard part is developing the games, which MS largely farms out to third parties. Having a fan and a heat sink seem pretty elementary.
So this guy alleges his 360 locks up. How does he know it's a heat problem? Exchange it for another one, ya schmuck.

Aside from the fact that the source of this article is
Macworld, not exactly a disinterested party, it's humorous to consider that a toy could create such absurd adult frantic legal activity.
I hope that the court reminds this loser that no one forced him at gunpoint to purchase a kid's toy, ready for the market or not.
And most importantly, that legal action cannot create a "fix". So then what will he ultimately get? Other than a more expensive toy? or an orphan?
What a concept! Enlist litigation into driving technological excellence!

If this loser makes the simple adjustment of elevating the power supply (onto, say, a speaker or anything for that matter so that it's not sitting on the ground) his XBOX will stop overheating.
The XBOX 360 I'm running is cool to the touch all around after hours of playing.

So what exactly are the "damages" to this poor soul? Microsoft replaces any defective consoles. I'm no huge fan of Microsoft; but I hate litigious slimeballs like this guy.

>>Microsoft designed a power supply and a CPU into the Xbox 360 that run too hot and overheat<<
That's what happens when you buy hardware from a company whose core and only business is software.

I guess I'm what marketers call a laggard when it comes to game consoles. I wait about two or three years before I buy these systems. Less problems, more games.
