lol- way to go microsoft

That display doesn't appear to offer very efficient ventilation unless there is more to it then the picture is showing, like fans in the back or something.

 

[Puffa469]

A tiny enclosed plexiglass box seems like a great place to put a 360...

 

[Dynasty1756]

Wow! speechless..

 

[retail sucks]

lol, better theirs than one of ours, they can afford it, we can't. And good job MS representing of your product.

 

[eliter1]

HAHAHA:lol:
Maybe Microsoft will learn to make better consoles. The next Xbox 360 systems with new chips.

 

[Dezuria]

I thought it was the top-right light that didn't flash, not the top-left...?

 

[HotShotX]

Fail.

Maybe it changes for each position.

 

[Professor Oreo]

That's just classic.

 

[Gamehead]

Well that's a lolfest. Did MS set up that display, or someone else at GDC?

[quote name='help1']Maybe it changes for each position.[/quote]It reorients itself according to the position you have it in. There's a small ball bearing that you can hear if you move around your 360 that sets the orientation of the lights.

 

[Danil ACE]

Well, this really isn't surprising. A 360 (maybe not even falcon) is in a tightly enclosed plastic box with little/no ventilation....

 

[Reck_Havoc]

Funny, kind of reminds me of their first demonstration of Windows 95.. where they got the blue screen of death.

 

[velvet396]

perhaps they just wanted developers to be surrounded by familiarity.

 

[Strell]

It's not like Microsoft isn't used to this happening.

Since when did 360's start to break.

Mine is like a tank.

I use it for everything.

Coasters. Football. Basketball.

It takes the abuse like a champ and keeps on going.

While I certainly understand why people are "laughing out loud", I definitely agree with Advocatus.

I'm not so sure - mine displayed the RROD right in the middle of a scrum. Totally ed up the game.
