Most people are getting error 79’s which is (what we have learned from our sources which may be wrong at times) hard drive failures. Best Buy in fact did get a letter from Microsoft on failure of hard drives, its a pity because my 6 gig hard drive from 1998 is still running perfectly fine, and the drives which Microsoft are using for 360 are in fact failing within 30 minutes to 12 hours of the Xbox’s(360) first run. Other problems which are occurring are faulty DVD drives and in rare causes (Again we have herd this case from our sources which may be wrong at times) faulty graphic cards which are not rendering the enviorment properly. The faulty DVD drives are causing the 360 loader to think that the games are in fact DVD movies and playing a short clip telling the user to put in a 360 game. At last the most occurring problem is that of the power supply and a strange mystery residue on the two power pins which are causing the Xbox to NOT get enough power and the Xbox ends up flashing red lights. This could be solved by wiping the residue off but in causes the power supply is at fault and even this “wiping” wont solve it. Now you may ask “So when should I buy my 360 if I haven’t already” The simple answer is buy it at Christmas or to be on the safe side buy it after Christmas, this gives the retailers time to sell of the old shipment and Microsoft to fix this mess.
