same with my xbox360... rip off! even though i love playing my xbox360 it gave me problems from the get go just like that pos ipod did. xb360 has been twice refurbished and still s up!
Dude, you can set the thing to shut the screen down after like 2 seconds, if you are smart enough to look at the settings when you first buy the thing.

As for buying one when they were $300, sorry.

I am what is called a "late adopter" in marketing terms. I let everybody else pay for the RD and factories that it takes to make things cheaper and then get the benefit from waiting when I buy the improved versions of these techno gadgets at 1/2 the price of the original buggy POS.

Still, I was drooling over the iPhone, but managed to keep my lust for that effing thing in check. Thank God.
