The real reason Live had issues....1.45 Million Xbox360's sold in Dec.

This is pretty amazing. I have about 5 family members that didn't own an xbox but have a 360 now. My in-laws got it for the video chat and multimedia aspect.

Analysts: 1.45 million Xbox 360 consoles sold in Dec - Xbox 360 Fanboy

my bro just bought one yesterday, so he'll be a contributing factor soon!

Wow - now that is a buttload of consoles. I was looking all over for a replacement for the one of mine that died but haven't been able to find one yet. I'll get one eventually - and hopefully before my existing one dies.

I have my refurb just back from MS for sell if anyone is looking for one. It will be the refurb console, and all the brand new never opened parts and accesories that come with the Arcade bundle (wireless controller, cables, memory stick, arcade titles, whatever else is in there.) I'm looking for like $225 + shipping. I may even throw Halo 3 in there!

I was looking to get another 360 for my wife to play Viva Pinata on when I play on Live. But I have to get the brakes done on my Jetta tomorrow so there goes that idea.

I bought a second one over the dec vacation so I added to the numbers...

Haven't you ever seen the Flintstones? Just cut a hole in the floor board and use your feet to stop. Gee, whimp!!! LOL.

This explains why all the refurbs break, probably dont have time to answer all the warranty service calls to fix all their xboxes, just get one xbox in, change the stickers on the box, and send it off to someone else!

I think the issue has always been that the GPU chip got too hot. I think the additional heatsink on the GPU will make a big difference. They didn't start putting those on the repaired 360's until back in the summer though.
