PS2 Fans Infect *LIES*

[JJaX]

You wanna know what really Pi55es me off.

Im always running into friends and we hang and junk. Then whenever i bust out my xbox the first words are "Oh cool you got xbox, Doesnt it over heat all the time."

You know the console wars have taken a turn for the ugly when people that dont even play video games or own a system think that the xbox overheats and break. I say we find the Prick that started this Bull and beat his ass and stone him.

Let me know when the stoning begins and i'll be there with you!

Yeah, someone (a GameCube fan) was telling me the Xbox heats up so much that it can burn your finger when you touch it... and then it locks up.

Well, I've played mine for 8 hours before, and I can safely say it didn't even feel warm... I don't think the casing is even capable of heating up that much.

I never heard of any console heating up like that, I remember my PoS1 overheating, but thats about it. My XBOX is used everyday either for movies or games and has not presented one problem. By the way has ne1 had to clean it yet?

About a week ago, I accidentally left my XBox on all night!!! And this was after I had a very very very long Halo and UFC Tapout session at my pad...we played for 12 hours straight! No joke! Add those 12 hours to leaving it on overnight and that is some serious time that it was on!

The great thing about it is that nothing at all happened! Don't get me wrong, I don't recommend leaving it on that long...not at all, but, I did this on accident and yes, it was warm, but, certainly not to the point of burning my finger if I touched it! The thought gives me the hicups from laughing so hard!

Silly I tell you. Its all just silly

It's misinformation like this that Sony is counting on. I can't tell you how many times I've stepped into babbages and been talking to someone about xbox and had the salesperson popup with: "I've heard of a lot people having problems with xbox. You might want to get a ps2 instead."

The Xbox over-heating? That's ridiculous. From my experience, the Xbox can't over-heat. One day I started playing Halo, at 6:00pm; fell asleep, and woke up at 7:30am to see it on. I thought it was toast, but nothing happened, it only felt warm, not hot. Another time I forgot to turn my Xbox off one night (started playing at 10:00pm), and didn't realize that it was on until I reached home at 8:00 pm the following day. My Xbox still working fine. So I can't possibly see how the Xbox can over-heat. Come on, I even leave my computer on all day, every day.

D a m n, dude...not a bad idea to do! That is, puting on the none use automatic turn off thing on. But, I think that even after a week, I still think it would be okay. The XBox has fans on it...I mean, when was the last time anyone turned off a VCR or DVD player?

I'm not recommending anyone risk leaving their XBox on for a week, but, I am confident to say that it is not likely to overheat.

I doubt the XBox would overheat in the middle of the Arizona Desert let alone on my entertainment stand! PoS2 Fanboys just keep trying...and look like idiots when they make up stupid stuff like the XBox overheating.

My Xbox has frozen But it wasn't due to heat. NFL2K2 seems to lock up on occassion but no other game does. This is more of a software problem than it is a hardware problem.

[J98GT]

Why would anyone think the Xbox will overheat if you leave it on all night? That's ridiculous. My computer has been on for 2 YEARS straight, and it works fine. I have left my N64 on for weeks at a time, and it works fine. My reciever is on about 80% of the time, and my old pro-logic reciever has worked fine for 8 years ( I have a Dolby Digital one now, but the prologic still gets used for my MD/PC setup). Has ANYONE actually had an Xbox overheat and break cuz it was left on?

LOL i dont know about that one maximus but i will take your word on it LOL

I was talking to a guy who owns a GC and I told him that my Xbox had locked up the first week when I playing. He then proceeded to say that it was because it overheated. But I told him that it had run for at least 6 hours straight in the same exact spot the night before with no probs. I then said "what about when the GC locks up sometimes?" He said "it's just software problems." I pointed the contradiction out and he retracted his overheating comment saying, "Ok the Xbox doesn't overheat." I can't count the number of people who bring up overheating when they first see my Xbox.

Ive played Halo for like 13 hours straight my **** was hot because it was compounded heat by the tv it was under, however it ran fine.I think the people at microsoft knew they had a hot product that would be played for 12 hours at a time. Seems to hold well under the abuse





And besides if your really afraid of of overheating just install this handy dandy water-coolant system for the xbox

Heh, I live in Arizona, and I can verify it does not overheat =]

I've left it on for long amounts of time, and it stays surprisingly cool. It stays a lot cooler than the other systems if you were to leave them on for the same amount of time.

All I have to say is your xbox will overheat only if your fan breaks. I will say this one more time and i'm done talking about over heating. I have a friend who has a ps2 and his console got knocked over when someone walked by and tripped over the cord. When it fell and hit the ground it broke his fan and he didn't know it. And everytime he tried to play a game his ps2 would start blinking red on the power button. Well with the weight and the quick release feature with the controllers Microsoft has take the right precausions to make sure something like this doesn't happen.

Go beat up whoever the PR people for Sony are (!!). I guarantee you that's where it started. Also, about overheating, my friends PS2 gets a lot hotter than my Xbox ever does. I've never had a single problem with mine.
