That's what we all thought too. Until the 360 Elites started getting the same problemOriginally Posted by 1orion2many
From what I've read it was mainly the first production run, they took a lot of short cuts to get it on the shelves in a hurry, the later runs are supposedly of better quality. I prefer the Xbox 360 over the PS3 but when things like this happen I really start taking a closer look at the Sony machine.
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).

Well it's sort of good bad news on the 360 front. The Microsoft helpline after talking to me believed that my powerpack was cactus, I borrowed my sons power pack and lo and behold my 360 started working again
. Now of course the bad news, they don't sell the power supplys as a seperate entity so there is 3 things I can do. 1: send it into Microsoft to repair but this will of course cost money as I'm out of warranty by 2 months.
