..heatsinks slapped on if this is true..

At least MS recognise there is a problem with the naff cooling in the system now though.
Although, many peoples consoles die due to the solder cracking because the heatsink clamps
are supposed to be a bit too powerful at doing what they do (hence heat guns and ovens can
bring them back to life for a while).

Anyway, all those who keep saying "it's not as bad as people make out" or "it's user error" when commenting on 360 deaths
can now see that even MS is trying to sort out the problem many of us have been talking about for ages
A poke in the fanboys eye? : p

I always find people saying things like that funny. Overheating, bad airflow, loud fans and such are normally the perview of a PC. Consoles are just drop the disk in and go for it.
