Xbox 360 crisis? Users complain of video failure!

June 26, 2007 in News comments 6

If the Red Rings of Death are not scary enough for Xbox 360 owners, stories are emerging on Xbox.com's forums concerning a video failure glitch on the hardware that would appear to be connected to Forza Motorsport 2 and/or a related firmware update.

A new fear surrounding Xbox 360 malfunctioning is beginning to surface, with a number of users of the Xbox.com general discussion board revealing a video failure problem that they're experiencing - strangely enough - all at the same time.

Symptoms of the defect include the screen blacking out, with white dots appearing all over it. Some posters also report that green shadows plague their television displays (one of the common signs of video card failure).

      Of course. Every comment you see in the 360 forum involves things like "ITS THE USERS FAULT, THE 360 DOESNT BREAK MUCH!"

    Do you ever ask yourself why you get all giddy when anything happens to Microsoft? Do you gain anything for it? Have you invested in the PS3? Do you work for Sony? No? Then stop being an idiot!

    I hate fanboys...

    Why can't the people that make the 360 just look over the parts of it and see whats wrong? Why is the 360 so *bleep*ed up?

    Once again there's another problem with the 360. Microsoft needs to get off their lazy asses and do something about these problems.
