While many Joystiq readers have been pleased with their new hardware purchase, reports are coming in of Xbox 360 system crashes, overheating, and some titles not playing at all. Crashing is believed to be due to hardware with overheating issues attributed to the hard drive. No word yet on misplays of some games, but Slashdot has some comprehensive links that look further into the problem.
While all hardware launches have teething issues, let's hope the trend doesn't continue, and the number of occurrences doesn't increase.
