By far, the most widely reported problem with Xbox 360 consoles are system crashes. According to gamers, usually a crash is due to overheating. The Xbox 360 is, at its core, a gaming PC. And, just as in a computer, the processor needs air and ventilation. Consumers have been able to minimize crashing by placing the Xbox 360 console in a well-ventilated area.
Even if the Xbox 360 were to be treated like a PC, it is being sold as a console to the console audience. Consumers are going to want to hide the unit, as well as the bulky power supply, so there needn't be a big compromise here.
Microsoft says that these problems are a "very, very small fraction" of units sold. But, if you are experiencing one or more of these issues, try to keep your Xbox 360 as ventilated and as cool as possible. Give it air, let it breathe, and turn it off whenever possible. Your thoughts? What are some problem you've encountered?
