Hi All, I am currently am having an original Xbox 360 premium. The one with the HDMI port one. I've had it since Dec last year and so far it has been treating me well. Lately I have noticed that I get artifacts when I'm playing Rainbow 6 vegas. It was only on that game that I saw it, and then yesterday, when I downloaded Devil May Cry demo... I also saw a bit of artifacts while playing with the Demo. Throughout this months, there were i think 2 times (one time just yesterday the other time long long ago) that my Xbox just kinda stopped after showing the Xbox360 Logo. After that I restarted and it ran along fine without any problems. Are this normal or Should I get ready to send it for a warranty in Singapore? Sigh... please help.

Please note that so far all other games like orange box... assasin's creed and GOW etc I have not seen artifacts or faced problems

Har?? But no 3 Rod how to send? Plus the lock up was only 2 times and both also very very far apart. Sigh... any other diagnostics? the only thing that is consistent is the artifacts on rainbow 6 vegas. by the way, if i have a stand fan and just let it blow on my xbox 360 when i play will it be better?

Sigh... so nothing much I can do except to wait for it to get the 3rod right? Hopefully its a false alarm... this is my second 360 somemore leh.
