    Odd smell from 360?


    Hey guys!

    I bought a 360 a couple years ago and so far it worked okay without a hitch! I stopped playing on it for a year or so as it was in storage, but recently I dusted it off and began playing on it again. Almost immediately, when I powered it up I noticed a weird
    'plastic-y' smell coming from it. Nothing else sems to be wrong with it, everyone works fine and that, so am I wondering is this normal?

    My previous searches on the internet said that people have had similar experiences with brand new 360s, but I'm a bit concerned because mine's been around a couple years - any thoughts?

    :)

    "True Fans" will buy new...... its happening again !

    Guess what, while researching I've run into an odd phenomena a content block any mention of the DLc being in the game has been removed, its still in a few archives but never before have I see so many comments removed from so many sites. including this gem
    gleamed from the Darksiders 2 wiki "Any comments speculation upon the the DLC and if it is or was in game content will be removed and the user banned"

    I smell fish especially as even Totalbiscuit has had a tweet removed on this subject, something doesn't smell right

    As long as its not a burnt electronic smell I wouldn't worry, plastic can give off strange odors depending on how its stored. You may want to use a strong vacuum and suck out all the vents (canned air doesnt really work since you more or less just blow
    it around the inside unless you dismantle the case and allow it to escape)

    Weird goop on back of disc

    Hopefully whatever the goop was didn't get passed to an area in the drive that will affect functionality. Keep an eye out for odd noises or smells coming from the Xbox.

    burning type smell coming from new xbox 360

    I have that too!

    The first 360 E smelled like burned plastic, the whole room was full of it!

    I exchange it, but the second 360 E smells the same, not so extrem, but the same smell!

    I think they use cheap plastic or something, never hat that before with a new 360 or 360 S.
