MS answered that article. Instead of a red ring there will now be a red dot right in the middle of the power button when something is wrong. Now it will be the RDoD.

There is talk that this new unit puts out a serious amount of heat. Nobody really knows if that is a good thing or not right now.

I guess just simulate the way most of the others got the RRoD... lay it down on carpet in a closed space or possibly under a towel or something, and leave it running or play it for hours at a time. I guess that would be the best way.

Traded in my old 360 for the new one.
It's ****ing beautiful. I had a first-run console with the 20GB HD, so this is a pretty big upgrade. HDMI, wireless, and it's really, really quiet. My old 360 RRODed on me twice, so I mainly got this one for the reliability and because it was a good deal at Gamestop. |

the other thing I am hearing is that the new unit won't get as hot if you keep it horizonal because of the vent location.

It won't matter much to me anyway as I always have mine horizontal and I keep it on the top of my entertainment center so it gets great airflow.

I think the new Kinect dancing game should be titled "NTTAWWT Central"

Good god.
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/22/mi...ct-for-149-99/ If the Kinect really costs 149.99 and games cost 59.99, wtf. I've also heard things about it requiring you to stand up to use it. |
