That's what we all thought too. Until the 360 Elites started getting the same problem

Its apparently a design flaw that causes "solder creep" when the machine gets too hot. I'm lucky mine still works, but it'll die eventually.

Until the Sony machine comes out with some good games to match the 360, its all meh to me (MGS and Final Fantasy isn't worth the system, imo).
