A Microsoft product crashing is almost a cliche these days. My wife asked me a few days ago if I had any interest in the Xbox 360, and I said, "Yes, but I'll wait a few months to a year for the bugs to be worked out and the price to get more reasonable."
Boom.... XBox 360 is crashing, based on information found in several fan sites.
Word to the wise kids.....
Any new gaming system is going to have problems these days. The technology is unproven, the chipsets and everything else inside have not been mass produced in the millions yet, and there is new technology and software running the whole shebang. If you want to be a first adopter, you're taking the risk that things will go bad. Playstation 1 & 2 had defects in their first batch, and had problems with overheating and other issues. I've heard the original Xbox had its own share of glitches. Do yourself a favor and wait until the companies work the kinks out, THEN buy them.
Still, you have to think that this gives MS a black eye, and have to wonder if they couldn't have done a little more real world testing. Even the USA Today reviewer encountered some crashes.
