It's black, shiny, and looks beast as hell. It has built in wifi and where the power and tray opening buttons would be are sensors. Awesome, if the sensors didn't react to heat. My older brother, Danny, bought one a few days ago. It worked fine for a while, but it soon kept randomly shutting off and the disc tray opened and closed while we played games on it. You would think that the people who designed it would notice this not-too-subtle design flaw. You know, the one that freakin' shuts the thing off five seconds after it's been turned on.

I'm telling you guys this so you won't have to waste your money if you do see it.

Another fail on Microsoft's end. It's probably the new RROD >_>

The sensors are reacting to heat? What heat? Are you keeping your 360 in the oven?

In Iowa, it gets pretty hot. So the Xbox often turns on and off, even when nobody is playing. We have to unplug it just to keep it from doing so when nobody is playing.

Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
Sit it in a tub full of ice, like any beer!
