Well, the Xbox 360 has been available for several days now, and the Internet has been flooded with images and posts regarding it's capabilities, behavious, scarcity, and especially technical problems.
Although Microsoft says that the gaming console's problems are mere technical glitches, and that there have been only few reports of consoles freezing in mid-game, the truth seems to be rather different. It looks like this particular problem is quite widespread, and it comes from one of the ugliest parts of the otherwise sleek and sexy console: the power adapter.
I don't know what Microsoft had in mind when is designed this...Godzilla-like adapter. Probably the guys in charge of the Xbox 360 have a rather peculiar understanding of the phrase "size does count". In any case, looks like this oversized thing is what's really causing all the problems experienced by the console.
So, if you don't want to send your console back to Microsoft for service just yet, here's two possible solutions to this problem: 1 found by a very inventive gamer, who posted some pictures of his improvised power adapter cooling system on the GameSpot forum, or 2. the fan stand from Pelican Accesories.
One of them is gotta work.
