For all of you people who are planning on buying the new Xbox 360 Slim then listen to this; apparently the new console has a built-in mechanism which prevents it from the dreaded Red Ring of Death… or in this case the Red Dot of Death.
The photo (above) shows a warning message telling the user that the console will shut down in order to protect the console from over-heating due to “insufficient ventilation.”
The good news is that once the machine has had enough time to cool down it can been started up again once the power light stops flashing.
This is certainly some reassuring news to any future buyers of the new console, but only time will tell to see how prone the new 360 Slim is to over-heating. However, Microsoft have said that they have fixed the Red Ring of Death completely, which is nice.
