I've heard of some crashes on emulated games (on the 360), but on new ones?  Tres bizarre.

EDIT; actually, I have the odd lockup on my - aging - PS2, and I know the original Xbox had the fabled green screen o' death, but it's the first time I've heard of it on a brand new console.  Of course, to be fair, previous launches possibly haven't had the same degree of internet attention.

This isn't unusual at all.

The vocal minority have problems, but the majority has reported perfectly functional machines. Some defects are no surprise at launch, however, which is why waiting pays off (that and price).
