360 Health Check

Well I wasn't expecting to have too update this anytime soon having bought a brand new HDMI enabled 360 Arcade just 3 months ago..

I've even put this latest one in a place where it will get more ventilation (it's basically next to the Sky box which now was the PS3 on top of it so it's got at least six inches of space at the top and huge amounts of space to the back and rear. The HDD unit sits flush with the PS3/Sky box tower but I can't see any cooling vents there anyway).

Last night I played for about two hours then switched it off for an hour while I watch 24. Switched it on at the unit only to find it Red Rind (Bottom left, Bottom right and top right (not sure what that means). Anyway switched it off and switched it on via the pad and it was fine. Fine again this morning.

I do find it disgusting that M$ have basically done nothing to remedy this known fault so far down the line.. They claim to have sold so many units.. I've had four and I know I'm not alone.
