Where Haters Live
Filed in archive Xbox 360 by anthony on February 13, 2006

By now, even non-gamers probably have heard about the 360's massive power supply and its overheating issues (ok, maybe not.) Whether the console fell victim to poor design and is inherently flawed, or if the defective consoles have just been a few needles in a haystack is debatable; however the people with defective 360's have been very, very vocal.
I just came across a website called XboxOverheating.com (very to the point, I like it.) The website is a place for owners of excessively hot 360's to get together and tell their horror
stories. I feel particularly bad for one guy who is on his third console.It's kind of hard to decipher whether these are just a bunch of overly sensitive crybabies or if their complaints are legit. I tend to lean towards believing Microsoft that very few consoles are defective because whenever you have a huge world wide release like with the 360, you're bound to have a few duds.
Its not that the console has inherent problems, it's just that the people who have defective consoles are making some serious noise...I can't blame them either, if I got a defective 360 I'd march down the Redmond, Washington with a machete.
