Have you actually watched the video?

You are finding **** arguments for your reasoning. Considering that even Microsoft Poland is taking this seriously I would not be so sure this being fake.

Believe what you want. But the facts are, Microsoft Poland is investigating the console, and what has happened. The console has broken. His story appears to be true. Period.

Just because you ignore facts, or WANT to ignore them doesn't mean they cease to exist.
Guess what? We don't care. You're way too upset to try to prove something that is either an anomaly or fake.

It probably broke because he blew so much smoke into it.

Hell even MS put out a tweet about it because it's not good for the console.

Yep, and here they said:
Arek, jeszcze raz przepraszamy, że zajęło to trochę dłużej, niż początkowo obiecywaliśmy, ale na szczęście udało się całą sprawę skończyć happy endem
Arek, once again we're sorry, that it took awhile, than we initially promised, but we finally found the happy ending.

So the problem was real, and NOT caused by his mistake.

Lol because Microsoft doesn’t want negative press around what has been a rather successful launch. It’s damage control because like with anything on the internet. Trolls and the hive mindset influence the gullible.

It’s like if you hit another car while driving but claim something on your car didn’t work right. You don’t think the manufacturer would check it out even if they knew it was probably false anyway?

How about translating the whole thing.

"@XboxPL just called me and I got the information that on Monday they will send me a new console and pick up the defective copy for testing."

No, they didn’t want some random YouTuber who was getting tons of views from click bait articles, fanboys, and others to negatively impact sales. Seriously, you don’t understand how a corporation works do you?

You are acting like now every Xbox will spew smoke etc. no, this guy blew smoke into it, it shorted out and now doesn’t work, Microsoft doesn’t want bad press from idiots online who believe everything. The end

It’s like the guy who got a prerelease series x and signed an NDA. Then he makes tweets and videos and all that about how his console “broke” but what he didn’t tell you is he broke the NDA and now suddenly it stopped working. Put 2 and 2 together and it’s probably that Microsoft had a way to turn them off in software. They document the serial numbers and who gets which one.

Apparently, the same story about Smoking Xbox was in Poland apart from the mentioned here at least three, exact same cases.

And in the States, at least one another person has shown that his own Xbox smoked similarly, and had the exact same sound effect to electric kettle:


So no guys, despite of what you think. Its not one case.

Its at this very moment at least 5 cases.

Bad power supplies probably. It happens, contact support and get a replacement. There will always be issues on release of new electronics. PS5 is having issues also.

Glo, in case you haven't noticed, we don't care about twitter post. Sorry, but twitter is not a verified news source and anyone can claim and make things up. Ours are running fine. You communicated the point you want to. We got it and it's becoming redundant.

EDIT: LOL, the best part is this guy saying "please reach out and send me another one. "

Question. This is in the US. Why doesn't he return it under warranty for file a warranty claim? I mean he's taking the time to record video and post it on Twitter and tell Microsoft (via tweet) to send him another. It's not like they don't have stores and warranty support phone numbers. Nope, let's video it and post it online!! Logical. Not suspect at all.

And maybe you have not noticed, but I do not care about what you think about twitter posts. Nor what you think about this situation.

The fact is, despite what you claimed, that People vaped into Xbox Series X, or ridiculing their situation saying that they made it up, Xbox Series X is failing. Most likely - its their PSUs that fail with smoke, and clicking sound.

So sorry, but it appears that you are being proven wrong on the matter of a guy vaping into the Xbox or making stuff up. Because its not one case, but at least 5, already, with exactly the same symptoms.

Have at least open mind.

Can you provide proof where this has been proven? Even the oldest video says Microsoft was going to pick his up to look and test on Monday. The latest video you posted is the guy begging for a new Xbox and made Xbox hasn't responded to him.

Not sure why you have such low standards of proof, but I'm not a mindless sheep who believes everything I read on twitter. Plus, I honestly don't care if you have a few that go bad. I feel bad for the people themselves, but any electronic product you purchase these days has a fail rate. It's part of manufacturing and getting your panties in a wad and trying to make everyone believe what you believe, it's just a bit lame.

You can feel free to keep arguing the point, but you're not going to change my mind that this isn't a huge wide spread issue either way. Not until MS actually test some units and some real sites start posting on the issue and have verified, I won't listen to twitter.

Getting serious vibes you're the type of guy who buys in to all the Qanon and Trump twitters.

I always find it amusing, how people are able to assume so many things about stuff they have zero clue about.

Maybe you should start listening? Instead of questioning what you see and not what you think?

Maybe you missed but I have written that info about 4 Xbox Series X's failing comes from Microsoft Poland's representatives. Not on twitter. It was a comment to one of polish Journalists. As he specified in his latest video, here:

4 XSX's failed in Poland, as I have said. In the same way that from the video you rendered as somebody vaping into it, or making stuff up by putting pipes into it(LOL!). And you dared to assume things about me? Maybe I should assume similar or worse things about your intellect, then?

Funniest part. I haven't bought XSX yet. I just wanted to prove to you, that you are at least wrong on the matter that people are making this up. They are not.

I'd imagine that's because creating an uproar over failure -- especially after Microsoft's RRoD still hasn't faded from memory -- is likely an easier/faster way to get your issue resolved than trying to go through a warranty claim.

Two things and them I'm done with you.

"I always find it amusing, how people are able to assume so many things about stuff they have zero clue about. "

I'm sorry, but please explain exactly how you have any first hand knowledge of failures in Poland? You are presented a video and you believe it's "the truth" without questioning. I find it suspect and so have others. But for some reason you are trying to force your opinion on us. Is that amusing to you? You have a clue, but the rest of us don't?

The funniest part is you think you have "proved me wrong" or that you think I give AF about a few vbloggers or you. Yet, you aren't intelligent enough to be curious why all these "problems" are happening in one country.

Depite the fact that you have proven my point, I will ask once again. How can people assume "B" when "A" has been said?

I NEVER once said anything about PS5. Especially since we are in Xbox Series X thread. I am only talking about 4, confirmed cases of XSX failing with the same symptoms in Poland, and it appears one case in the United states.

I was only genuinely surprised that people so easily jumped to conclusion that it was all made up, that people vaped smoke into XSX, or that it was a prank. Guess what? Turns out, it wasn't.

Who has given you right, to call me a shill, when you are offended by the stuff that you don't like to think about?

Xbox Series X fails. Maybe its widespread, maybe its just few cases? We don't know, yet. We will see.

Yep, you are unable to read, with comprehension.

I have given you link to specific video of polish tech journalist in which he said that he found in Poland 4 exact same cases, and one in the United states.

Secondly. You may not give AF to this case. But I care about you saying it was made up. It wasn't. Simple as that can be.

How did a guy in Poland find the exact same case in the US when there's been nothing but a video posted on YouTube? Did this "journalist" travel to the US and inspect the hardware to verify the issue?

Guess what? It's all made up.

Further more. This so called "Journalist". Have you actually looked in to him? It's not journalism, it's using basically an opinion piece. He's taking online videos and then making his own commentary.


EDIT: Best line on the whole page "TWITTER - NOT THAT POPULAR AMONG TECH FANS IN POLAND BUT WE'RE THERE!"

Seems LEGIT!! It's a one man operation with no apparent affiliation to any actual news outlet.

He has 100k Fans on Facebook!!!!!!! I bet he'll have a job with the Times in a week.

Here is you " I was only genuinely surprised that people so easily jumped to conclusion that it was all made up, that people vaped smoke into XSX, or that it was a prank. Guess what? Turns out, it wasn't. "

Can you please provide PROOF? The very owner of that console said Microsoft was picking up the console on Monday to test it. There is no PROOF. Yet you are so easily vested into proving it's the fault of Microsoft and the Xbox. Twitter isn't proof.

I know, I know. You will have all kinds of excuses and try to point the finger at us. Yet you will avoid the response of providing proof that it was a mechanical failure or issue with the Xbox.

It's apparent you just don't like consoles and you're now saying console fans have a "rep", which doesn't even make sense. Done responding to you. Have fun with your console hating and thinking you're the ultimate winner here. Get a life, seriously.

FYI: If you actually read this thread, which I know you didn't. I explained I don't play consoles, lol. These are used by my children and wife. I hardly ever play a console. Go back and read all the threads.

What’s more is we don’t know the motivation of the original video. It could be very likely a case of someone trying to paint the series x in a bad light. Those people do exist. Not everyone is unbiased with no agenda.

Agreed. All I'm saying is don't over react just because someone posted a video and then a couple other posted after. Jumping to conclusions without actual solid information or confirmation isn't smart. Also, trusting "journalist" who are not actually that, is silly.

That's why I wouldn't even comment on the PS5 sleep issues. It's too early to tell what is wrong and you can't blame Sony until it's confirmed and understood what is happening.

I have to say that I am really appreciating the Series X:

- Minecraft (mission critical app!) performance is unworldly better. Kids definitely noticed it. They love piling up TNT boxes and detonating them, on the One this would mean you would have nice 10-15 second wait to see "what happened". They were delighted to see this destruction happen in real time. Goodbye Jaguar, you aren't going to be missed. Draw distance is much further, RTX update in the future is going to blow minds. Can't wait.
- Boot up takes like 5 seconds. It reliably turns my Sony TV on and off. It's a Christmas miracle. Even my One with SSD would allow me to feel the passage of time waiting for it to load.
- My Skylanders portals work so Skylander games work. I know they said it was all going to work except Kinect, but the USB break from 360 to One was real and I wasn't very trusting.
- Games look and run great. Mayhem in Burnout Paradise Remastered is super fun and runs so fluid.
- Plex can actually resume movies now. I don't know if it's less reliance on Transcoding or what, but the Plex client on the One was surpassingly terrible next to the Roku and even my Android TV with it's cheap a$$ rockchip CPU.

Only one real downer so far - the remote relies on IR. (The One media remote). I was hoping that the MS Media Center IR USB receiver (has a really long cord, made for XP Media Center, worked with Media Center until 10) would somehow work, it doesn't. I had to minor re-arrange things so I had a clear LOS to the front of the console.

Maybe the lack of games that are "only for Series S/X" is a bit of a downer, but everything the One did the Series X does so much better, I would upgrade to it even if there was only a graphics half step on the horizon. Knowing this is ~faster than my PC means it should age well. Keeping the old controllers working was really handy and transparent BC with prepped One X visual upgrades for many games standing at the ready is working great for me.

Now I work towards my new TV future. My 2015 XBR is short on HDR and size (55") so I am really interested to see how things look with the Auto HDR enabled.

How long does it take to load a fairly average world? I've seen it load on the Xbox One S, and whew... whenever I get asked "want to play Minecraft?", I just say, "I'll use my PC for it."

I use one of the Harmony IR extenders that's positioned right in front of the Xbox's IR sensor. I haven't had any issues with it so far, and with the Harmony keyboard, I can easily type on the console. (It does require the USB adapter.)
