| 407255 | 2005-11-24 21:14:00 | From The BBC (news.bbc.co.uk) Some Xbox 360 owners are starting to report problems with their brand new next generation gaming console. Messages posted to gaming forums and discussion groups mention that consoles have crashed during play thanks to several different errors. The crashes were reported as happening with a variety of games including Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing and Need for Speed. Microsoft acknowledged the reports but said incidents were "isolated". I wonder when they will release a service pack :lol: ;) |

| 407260 | 2005-11-24 22:57:00 | One thing you can be sure of is that they will be sitters for "buffer overflow" type attacks. It takes time to check for buffer bounds, so security essentials like that are the first things to be "optimized" out when programmers are looking for the last few CPU cycles. As for separated code and data ("no-execute") areas of memory ... :D "That could never happen", "Noone would ever try that" ... I'm not sure what use it would be to gain control of X-boxes ... I doubt if they will be replete with credit card numbers ... but perhaps mass DOS attacks? Or a company could set up a BIG distributed computing engine with all the X-boxes sitting on ADSL lines , and sell computing. Or use them as mass spam mailers. They've got to be good for something. |

| 407264 | 2005-11-25 03:05:00 | FYI... March 2nd is to be the release date here www.xbox.com Why so late? Does that mean we will get the ps3 3 months later than everyone else aswell? Will we get an updated console at a lower price since it has already been making milions in the US for 3 months by the time we get it? |
