"Xbox problems"

After reading many reports from America about the Xbox I can say that I will not be getting one. Apparently a lot of people are having problems with games, the seam to be crashing on them. Its not just one game its all of them, people are having big problems. The thing has only been out a day and people are already talking about what I feared would happen......PATCHES!!

This is not good, people like consoles because you get a game put it in and it works. The people will not like getting a game, installing it, having it crash, going to the internet to get an update, installing it and hoping that just when you get to the end of a level in will not crash again.

I only hope Microsoft get this sorted fast before the Xbox disappears in to obscurity.

Where did you hear this from, one guy on Annanova said he has been playing his X-Box every mintute since he bought it, something like 22 hours.

Not a mention of crashing games.

Do you honestly think Microsoft would release this with every game crashing?

I have a solution to your problem. Take X-box, place on hard surface (such as floor), now take hammer. Bring hammer down as hard as you can on X-box. Watch and laugh gleefully as the giant X is destroyed into a thousand pieces.

Yes I do. Why not? They've done it with Windows for years!

A point I made in my Bill gates, the real Drath Vadar (FOG) thread.

i haven't heard any of this crashing problem...
on videogamereview.com....all the reviews of the xbox have had no mention of it constantly crashing..

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I remember Sony had this problem last year, ah well at least the bugs if any should be sorted before the Xbox gets released over here!

I read this article, and yes the Demo boxes are buggy.
You must remember though these boxes are left on all day.
The DC and PS2 also crash when left on for too long.

When they first came out the fans used to pack up on the DC.

When the PS2 came out the power supplies kept on packing up.

I think the odd crash is better that hardware failure dont you?

I agree with tcook. Demo boxes DO crash. The n64, dreamcast and ps2 boxes all crash in the 'puter shops coz they are on all day, they have irritating little kids tugging the cables out and so and so forth. Anybody that claims they own one and its crashing are just (normally) pro sony idiots!
