I took those x-clamps out and followed that great guide where I put in new screws/washers....Bam! Good as new!

It is purely a design flaw and Microsoft should stop putting the clamps in there. Though, it's never going to happen....

Oh, I took my crappy x-clamps and use it as my rear view mirror ornament, just to remind myself how Microsoft screwed up, when I enter my car. :)

Microsoft avoids 360 cooling rumors, calls hardware updates 'commonplace'

My 10/05 built 360 had the three red lights a few hours ago. I busted it open, cleaned their shoddy thermal paste job, brasso the heatsinks, and applied Arctic Silver 5. It all works now.

In the end, the problem was the CPU/fan and how it wasn't pulling out the hot air. After the fix, it is now hotter.

I believe the launch systems were rushed.

Good move Walmart. Now you can put more "useful" products in place where the UMD movies were.

I also don't care about next-gen formats, but I do care if the price of DL DVDs goes down.

Yeah..... I'll stick with my sock.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
