My 360 freezes regularly on most games, but you didnt say to take it back nor not? Im guessing i should but yeah i just want to clarify this

Q: HELP! I'M GETTING THE RED FLASHING LIGHT AND MY 360 ISN'T WORKING, WHAT ON EARTH DO I DO?!
A: Don't panic! Sure, it sucks that you're one of the unlucky ones to get a 360 that has a fault in it, but it's not the end of the world! You have a few options, the easiest of which is returning it to the shop you purchased it and exchanging it for a new one.

You can also call Microsoft (1-800-4MY-XBOX) and get them to repair/send you a replacement. This does however usually take 2-3 weeks, so I advise returning it to the retailer if possible. For more information on returning your console to Microsfoft please read here

Q: DO I NEED TO BUY A REMOTE CONTROL TO VIEW DVDS LIKE I DID WITH THE ORIGINAL XBOX?
A: No, now you can use your joypad.

Q: I'VE HEARD THE FIRST BATCH OF 360's HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS - SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
A: No. Basically, negative views are always voiced much more than positive so that's what you hear. The truth is a small percentage of all 360's have faults (around 5%) and that's the same with ANY console.

Q: MY 'POWER BRICK' IS GETTING VERY HOT, IS THIS A BAD SIGN?
A: No. Whilst it can be a bit unsettling to think your console is frying itself, it's normal for the powerblock to reach high temp. Keep it somewhere where it can get a lot of air and you should be fine.

Q: WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT MY 360 OVERHEATING?
A: Just use common sense, really. Don't keep it on for hours on end, there's no reason to have it on for more than 5/6hrs in one sitting.
Make sure the back of the console (where the fan is) is clear and not blocked by any leads.
An added fan in the room could help if you're really worried about it.

More to come soon. Anything to add? Just say!
