Kinect breaking 'older' Xbox 360 consoles?

4.5
according to third party reports, a number of of Xbox 360 owners are claiming that Kinect broke their system. A thread on the official Xbox forums contains a number of players saying their system died after plugging Kinect in. One example is as follows - "At the weekend I spent £130 on a Kinect and a further £30 on Dance Central, so when I got home I excitedly plugged it into my Xbox... However within 5 minutes it froze up and when I turned it on again it had the dreaded 3 red rings showing." Following this, another user responded confirming the same event!

What it means by older consoles is the 2006 and the first released ones are the ones that are having problems. I have had Kinect on my 2007 model and so far so good running very well.

TechnicalGuy That's why i don't try to be one of the first in my area to get it.

I wait till they see problems, diagnose them, fix them, then when it's 100% unharmful, i think about buying it.


Good man.. I do that too especially with the iPhone..POS when it came out but progressively getting fixed

MY Kinect was a Gift so I didn't buy it, but my Xbox hasnt RROD yet, I don't see why it would? Unless those consoles were old and couln't handle the awesomenss of Kinect lol
