When new consoles release, some gamers warn against buying them too soon in case the hardware or software have technical issues. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happening with some XBox Series X's.

People shared videos of smoke billowing out from the top, enough to look like the machine is on fire, while other ones have had issues with the disc tray either rejecting CDs or making extremely loud noises.

Another case where the disc drive of the XSX seem to not be able to accept discs properly.#XboxSeriesX #Xbox https://t.co/xWkRgq7sJ6

Maybe these glitches are just the latest in ray tracing technology, meant to create an immersive, potentially dangerous gaming environment in the comfort of your own home?

We'll be sure to keep you updated the minute we hear of someone's XBox Series X becoming sentient and murdering them. It's bound to happen.
