Early adopters across the United States are now reporting that their XBox 360′s are “crashing like mad.”
According to Engadget, “The game consoles are allegedly crashing during a variety of games and reporting a range of error messages. There’s even a pic up on flickr that purports to show the 360 crashing as the Microsoft logo loads.”
There is also a large thread about this situation on the TeamXBox site.
It may be a little too early to tell how big a problem this actually is, but the sheer volume of people that seem to be encountering this situation is cause for concern. This has the potential to be an epic problem for Microsoft.
Update: Microsoft spokeswoman Molly O’Donnell told Reuters, “We have received a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected.” She went on to say that, “With any launch of this magnitude, you’re bound to see something happening.”
If you continue to have problems call 1-800-4MY-XBOX to troubleshoot the issues.
