The last three posts do not paint a good picture for me. I don't recall the exact date I got mine but it was definitely 2006. I've noticed some odd behavior with my 360 although I would not call it "freezing". My lockups seem to happen at the same time my online partners experience a problem and they are the ones hosting so I think that is network related. I have however noted a lot of slow behavior after the NXE update. I've had some "quick freezes" there and even more puzzling is that I get messages that my friends went off line when it turns out I am the one offline (yet I can still do things on live - weird). Oh well, I am not going to panic. If it happens, it happens. I work in a high tech industry and things happen (I also have the Best Buy protection plan that was updated this last 6 months so I would be able to get it replaced same day).
