Xbox 360 Crashed.

Hi,
Has anyone else had this problem with their xbox 360?
i was playing blacksite and when it had to play a videeo with a few xplosions in it the console crashed. I'd have thought a console would be able to handle the games for it whereas pc's have different specs.

Anyone know if there's possibly a fault with it? there's no red lights on

mines crashed a few times on fallout 3 (a known issue) and once or twice on CoD:WaW, i have no idea why, never had a problem with my launch console but this new one seems a bit odd , works fine the rest of the time (and on all other games).

People will probably jump to the conclusion that because it's a 360, it dieing. Chances are, unless it does it again repeatedly that it was just a bug in the game which caused it to crash. I had Mirrors Edge crash the other day because I tried to access the dashboard via the guide button, just as an achievement unlocked.

It's rare in consoles, but always a possibility.

So not really anything to worry about then? it's only seemed to have done it while playing blacksite and it's not a great game anyway. just thought it may be screwed as it's only just over a week old now.

this is what i thought, games are designed to specificly run on that console so should run fine, maybe is just the game.

I think when I had my 360 a few months ago, it crashed once or twice. These things happen; consoles are computers after all, and computers are very complicated things

ditto loads of crashes on fallout 3, mainly using the railway gun thing
