I got the same impression when I got mine, but I guess that s by design.

I read from someone in here that it has to do with a piece that recognizes if you have the 360 in the flat position or standing, but I m not sure about that.

ya, i may love my 360, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a fragile piece of crap. it's just a fragile piece of crap that happens to have all the best games for the moment.

that rattling is the thing that senses if it is upright or laying on it's side. it's a little ball in a tube or something. every 360 has it. /anatomy lesson

That's because they're cheap. MS cut corners by making it with cheap parts so their profit would be higher. Why do you think they break so easily. They're a piece of junk. I wish PS3 had the games that 360 does. I'd make the switch in a flash.

The 360 is a piece of junk. If it didn't have the best games it'd be left in the dust.

You do not even know what your talking about, Microsoft rushed there console to try and earn $ and be the first console to be next gen, that noise your hearing in your 360 is the part of the 360 which reconizes if it is laying horizontal or vertical.

They don't break so easily, it's just that people dont take care of them, iv'e had mine since launch and it's working perfectly fine, and if it does ( which I dont ) then I am protected by a 3 year warrenty

You are correct. Quoted to spread the truth!

If it was rushed at launch, then why isn't it any better 3 years later? You'd think in the newer models, they'd fix their failures. It's a cheap system with a HUGE failure rate. Like I said, if it didn't have the games, people wouldn't be putting up with the fact that it always breaks.

If you're launch system hasn't broken you're either lying or part of the extreme minority.

Yay for denial

It's one of the worst constructed gaming consoles in gaming history. I treated mine like a god and it still got a RROD.

I had my 360 since launch and had no problems, am waiting on a new one at the moment ONLY because our place got flooded and it was sitting in an inch & 1/2 of water, Still worked fine afterwards. Only getting it replaced because insurance is paying for a new one, and corrosion may kill it later.

I've noticed this too, and I can never decided what if anything should be rolling around in there. This occurs with everyone I know who has gotten a 360 since launch. I don't really know what to tell you.

However, they are sturdy, you can tell because the box is tight around the framework and the parts don't have any room to move if dropped.

Yeah i've treated mine equally as good and it still craps out on me, even after I sent it to microsoft. I'm sure some peoples' xboxes break because of bad treatment, but i'd say the overwhelming majority of problems are microsoft's fault.

I agree, the 360 does not feel as sturdy as the original xbox when you pick it up.
