This morning I reported about a crowd in Delaware going crazy over the new Xbox 360, but it even gets worse: WTV.COM reports that a Tallahassee Florida man, after standing in line for several hours and spending nearly $400 on the holiday season’s hottest electronic game, was robbed at gunpoint from his new toy. Ouch! Since I know Tallahassee a bit (I go there at least twice a year) I wonder where exactly this took place; according to some reports it was a Wal-Mart (but which one?).
Crashes
Meanwhile, reports keep popping up that the brand new Xbox is crashing like mad, even just after displaying the Microsoft logo. Microsoft is, as usual, downplaying the reports, as “(…)a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected(…)”. However, as said, hardcore players are reporting that the game consoles are allegedly crashing during a variety of games and reporting a range of error messages.
See some pictures of the Xbox crashing here. And a report on the BBC website.
