1.2 - Another reason we should wait for the ps3

This games is not even utilizing the supposedly "full potential" of the xbox 360, and the system is crashing. Terrible. I do feel sorry for those who dished out so much money for a 360 just to have $60 games ruin their experience. People, wait for a true gaming machine. The Ps3 will not disappoint, and it is a much better deal. And people, just because you don't have Aids does not mean Hiv is nonexistent. If your 360 is still working, great. But what about the others who are going through issues, should you just ignore them and pretend everything is ok? If this is your path to life, then you're not worthy of living. But there is hope, and the ps3 will provide it.

Yah really a game can't cause a console to crash. If that were true it'd happen to more than 2-3 people. Cause what are they doing any different than other people.

The PROBLEM is just the 360 hardware. ALL standard console failure is 3-5% so there's your small percentage who just happened to be playing dead rising at the time.

That's like what Sony was doing against the Dreamcast before they released the PS2, spreading rumors.

I have the game and no problem here.

this post has nothing to do with sony????? why do you have to start flame-wars? You even posted an Assassins Creed post today that didn't inform any new info. You just posted it to start back up a flame-war.

Yeah you're right look at the big flame war I started. PLEASE EVERBODY STOP THE INSANITY I DIDN'T MEAN TO START A FLAME WAR!!! Does that make you happy? Get a grip son, I was just pointing out that it seem similar to what Sony did before. If it would make you feel better I also want a PS3. Now get a life and move-on.

This is part of Sony's Marketing. They bash other systems on the internet. They did it with the dreamcast. Every major xbox 360 title has had this same rumor yet I have played everyone and no issues. Seems fishy doesn it. I played Dead Rising countless times with no issues. They said the same for GRAW, Oblivion, Prey and such.

That's all I was trying to point out. Does it mean its true? Probably not. But it does seem fishy as you put it. Sony has done this before and I feel they could try it again.

Thats up to you if you want to make this personal. I wasn't trying to attack you but if that's what you want to do go ahead. It really doesn't matter to me one bit.

Look forward to you acting like a child.

7 - This article is rediculous!!

As already posted, you can't crash a machine based on the number of kills, stupid, very stupid. That's like saying my bread gets moldy if I eat 4 slices in one day, even though I just bought it today. That;s right, it does not make sence!! Hey, was that kinda like the chewbacka theory?

8 - the intercooler

The inter cooler should only be used if yo have heat issues. And do not use it too close to the carpet or in areas with high dust because it will clog your 360 with dust and carpet fibers. A friend of mine used the IC and his got stuffed up with so much dirt it look like a shagg dog inside his 360.

11 - No problems...

at all. only very few ppl have had ne problems with their 360's becuase its just bound to happen to some ppl. also ppl like to play for hours even days on end with no rest for the console. these next gen consoles need breaks unlike the older gen console. just stop playing for a little while let the 360 cool down and start up later. its not that hard. my dead rising has yet to kill my 360 or even ne game at that. i dont play dead rising with hd either and it looks just fine. so that it doesnt play unless you have hd thing is complete rubish. i play standard definition and im fine no problems what so ever.

13 - Actually

If you all go to xbox.com and into the dead rising forum you will find many threads with hundreds of ppl in them with the same issue. Me myself had this problem and on day one of the games release too. and if it wasnt true explain why a strong firm and upset call to capcom made them pay for the repairing of my system!. thats a bit unusual if its just the system not the game. But trust me there are plenty of people with this problem.. as for me i am now waiting for my 3rd xbox 360 and hopefully i will get it in b4 madden 07:) BTW my 2nd 360 was made in march and it was working absolutly great not one freeze until i played DEAD RISING. and then it just kept freezing so go t to xbox.com forums to see the fuss lol. laterz
