[H] reader LazerWire sent us a link to this BBC article that claims that the Kinect is causing RRoDs on older Xbox 360 consoles. The BBC story only actually talked to one person having the issue so we thought we'd do some digging on our own. After all, with well over 8 million Kinects sold in 60 days, you'd think if there was an issue...it would be widespread by now.
We went to the official Xbox forums and found the original thread that was started back in November and, not counting the obvious "me too" people (you know the ones, supposedly had Xbox for 5 years but had 0 gamerscore and never played a single game on it....ever), we found probably forty or fifty people claiming to have had this problem over a two month span.
I did a quick check of our own forums and didn't find any mass RRoD Kinect posts. So, my question to you is this...are you guys experiencing RRoD issues after using the Kinect or do you think this is all a coincidence?
"We plugged it in the day we got it but only played it a few times before we got the red lights. The next day when we tried it again we still had the red rings of death and haven't been able to use it since."
