Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Interesting article, and I've found this a really informative thread with a lot of interesting input. Ironically, I've never had a problem with the two xbox 360s I've owned, but my Wii's graphics chip overheated and the unit was replaced (admittedly Nintendo's customer care was painless). It's clear that MS knew there would be problems but want to aggressively grab as much of the market as they could while Sony was between consoles, so to speak. Though I doubt they considered exactly how big those problems would be.
