Interesting. I suppose it is possible that all the movement recognition of the Kinect uses considerable horsepower, and it was the final straw on a bunch of Xbox360 that were about ready to go.

This is why I own a Wii. Kinect is too darn bad. It's not precise enough and you'll look like an idiot using this system.

Yes, it sounds like they're pushing the hardware beyond its limits but they must've overclocked something or not given it sufficient cooling for a hardware driver to cause a hardware failure to it sounds like it's a n Xbox design fault, rather than the Kinect.
