The new models of the 360 fix all the previous heat sink and noise problems. IIRC they are the new Jasper xbox 360 units. My xbox 360 is also messed up badly. I am thinking of sending it in and I am sure it will not be covered under warranty. I have been getting all sorts of disk unreadable errors with games and my Halo 3:ODST will not even load a map or level anymore. Its a big problem. There is a big thread on the Bungie website discussing this issue.

Bottom line the hardware is junk.

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
