It's annoying, and to date it's eaten up roughly 10 of my stones. That is all.

Go go crapbox. Mine has never just shut down, but it freezes a LOT in abyssea, dyna and besieged. As soon as one xboxer in the ally goes, we know all of the xboxers are going to. It blows.

Its shutting down most likely because its over heating and trying to save itself from bursting into a fiery ball of melted plastic. Can you not turn it back on to log out of abysea when you have these issues? :/

The only thing that doesn't blow is the PC.

I can't really play on it since Ovr does...

For the same price as the xbox you could of had a PC with the same performance minus the freezing!

You know how hard it is to play Katamari Damacy on the pc? *** that!

Most likely overheating constantly like mine was, maybe? Solution...in my case anyway

Let it 'cool down' for about a week or so so that it can turn on for a good while without shutting down....go to gamestop, sell that ***with credit towards a new Xbox. Get your 100 dollars credit and gtfo before it explodes on the counter.

the xbox 360 is nothing but fail and especially for ffxi, you want to do besieged? too bad, mine won't even turn on properly anymore without the intercooler (start up the chopper) and I can't even play through 1 game of halo wars typically without it dying, it's sad. Oh and it's done it since microsoft sent it to me since the other I had died, and talked to cs about it, they said "the cpu is dead...) i'm like yeah...it's the cpu.

it is sad that even their tech support doesn't know the difference between a cpu and a gpu and what the defect is in their system?

Intercoolers have been known to actually cause RRoD. It uses more energy to run the fan also than just play the system.

I can't wait for the rrod, and no they don't "cause" it, the rrod is caused by a defect in the design of the xbox 360, doesn't have anything to do with an external device, and the fan doesn't take anywhere near that much power.

tldr: no, and no.

The old 360 doesn't just shutdown unless there's an issue with it. the new 360, however, does shutdown due to overheating, forcibly I might add.

I've had my xbox about 5 years now and never encountered a single problem of any sort, ever.
