Forza Motorsport 2 Bricking XBox 360 consoles?

Seems like there are more problems with the Xbox 360 hardware. Apparently people playing the new Forza Motorsport 2 game are experiencing their consoles regularly freezing. Some are even ending up with the ‘3 red lights’ and having to send their 360s in for repair.


With the amount of 360 failures that are being reported at the moment it seems like another nail in the coffin of the current hardware setup. Something is obviously very wrong and I doubt Microsoft be able to continue to deny that there is a problem.

I am a big fan of the Xbox 360, my release model has been working fine for 18 months now. Although I do have a desire to play Forza, I won’t be tempting fate until there is some resolution to this issue whether that be an update for the game or some guarantee from Microsoft that a bricked console will be fixed free of charge regardless of age.
