I too am in the group of people that are having problems with Forza... it hasn't bricked my box but it has frozen the screen more times than I've had hot dinners in the last week.
A few points specific to my situation, which I believe don't categorize me as crying wolf:
1. The box has never been modded, never seen a backup disc.
2. It has never hung since I got it... +4 months.
3. The screen would freeze in game and in dash, hot or cold.
4. While I was enjoying playing Forza, I didn't play more that 1-2hours a night... same as any other game I've had in the past 4 months.
5. I've stopped playing Forza for the last 3 days, and I have not seen a single glitch or freeze-up.
This issue, whether it's a small percentage or not, is real and is related to Forza... of this I'm a 100% certain.
And before the lucky ones that haven't seen a problem start to ring in with the flame posts....I've worked in the electronics industry for over 15 years making devices as complicated and in some cases more complicated than the 360.... and Yes I have seen software that can, not through design or intent, overstress and crash/damage hardware.... it's a bit disingenuous of Turn 10 to dismiss their software as being a contributor to the problem out of hand, and hide the forum topic away from the general public, their customers.
