a bad rep is EXACTLY a reason not to buy something outright which is exactly the reason i dont use vista. mind you i WILL have a 360 eventually because im just that kind of gamer. i like it all. but until MS can say "we havent had thousands of units fail since we released these new xbox 360's or these redesigned 360's" im leaving it be. i dont celebrate bad design. and waiting a month to get your system back is kinda annoying if not a downright pain in the a**.
and throwing new thermal paste on and removing the brackets is a temporary fix. go water cooling kit. i have a busted one at my house right now opened up. if i felt wasting a hundred bucks on a MAYBE fix i'd probably try the water cooling kit. tried cutting a big a** hole in the top and screwing a 6x6 bakery fan on it but no go.
im just saying MS isnt GOD of technology. and i think people should i dont know "look at options" before spending any time or money on something that could crap out on them.
oh and the wii for what little it really does is doing incredible in sales. go nintendo your showing everyone the same incredible business tactics that you did back when you were warring with sega. if it wasnt for the little console shortage they're having it'd probably would have beat it 6 to 1. still just a cube with a fancy controller though. mind you brawl is going to rock.
