just depends on how lucky you are, I still wouldn't blame it on the game...

It's probably your fault.


Not that it should happen, but keep the PS and XBOX off the ground and on something hard and well ventilated

Yeah its NOT my fault. I do EVERYTHING possible to have it not happen. the system and power supply are both well ventilated and out in the open and on hard flat surfaces. After my 2nd one went i took every precaution to have it not happen again. But it still does.

Then I'd guess you have noisy power/surges in your house.

if you have a DMM monitor the voltage coming out of the wall, if it keeps changing more than +-1V I'd suggest a voltage regulator. Otherwise it could just be a noisy line, for which you'd need a conditioner.

There have been reports of XB power supplies overworking themselves to provide DC in these conditions.
