Even if we accept that this is a demo unit, and there may be bugs in the game being used to demo it, we are still seeing overheating going on. Sony needs to address this as a legitimate concern and give an explanation on what has been happening on these demos, lest a PR disaster catches up to them right before the system's launch.

Stay away from my titles cause your buthurt.

Supposedly the demo units are the same as retail, so that point really doesn't matter.

The link is accompanied by video evidence. Watch the video and draw your own conclusions.

Naw. Obviously @Liquid is since he ran in here and locked the thread, then decided to change the title.

No it's not. They reach down and actualy feel the heat being emitted from the machine, then the game freezes.

turns out running actual next gen games makes the console run a little hot

No wonder all the Xbone games look current gen

Also explains why they said it'll never overheat

what good are "next gen games" if they can't run without freezing and shyt?

heat and gddr5 is an issue, and one of the reasons it's not commonly used for RAM applications. I'm not just saying some "dat cloud" shyt
