10 year old and I have an XBox 360 since Nov 06. Yesterday it started "freezing" on all but two of our games.

Turn on the console, drop in a game, play for 5-10 seconds then presto-freezo.

Anybody know anything......useful.

Bueller, anyone....?

Hell yeah. MS is spending $$$ fixing the X box problems. You will most likely have to send it in to them, from what I've read not many home fix it solutions work. Read on:

PS. I'm totally shocked a microsoft product was released before all of the bugs were worked out.

The freezing issue is separate from the three red lights issue which the only problem covered by the new three year warranty.

The good news for you is that the 360 has a one year warranty on everything so you're still in the one year window.

I have two 360's. One of which is currently at M$ getting repaired.

We got the red lights the first time it did the presto-freezo gimmick.

I'll ring Micro$oft tomorrow.

Thanks for the input.
