New Xbox 360 Slims Already Failing?

There has been some buzz the last couple of days about the apparent hardware failures of the new Xbox 360 Slim.

A user over at NeoGAF has posted some pictures of the new “Red Dot of Death” that the new slim systems display along with a picture of the dashboard notice.

It is unknown if the user purposely blocked the vents to see what would happen or if this is a legit overheating issue.

However, a Youtube video has been posted showing what appears to be some kind of video/graphic failure on the new Xbox 360 Slim. This is similar to an older Xbox 360 failure.

Do you think these are legit claims? Perhaps Microsoft hasn’t fixed the problems that plagued earlier 360 models? What do you think?
