Where has anyone said that 360s are overheating, other than in the thread title?
The original Rockstar page that was taken down only mentioned the PS3 overheating. The new support article they posted mentions neither consoles overheating, but someone from Rockstar says in the comments that "the issues of PS3s overheating appears to be due to the latest Sony firmware update. We recommend contacting Sony if your console is shutting off during play" but again, nothing is mentioned about 360s overheating.
EDIT - The 360 overheating is based on one comment from a single user which seems to have been enough for the thread title to be edited to include the 360 as overheating as well.
The link that Kagari posted details how
to tackle the situation on both PS3 and 360. At least 2 people left comments on that article mentioning how their 360 crashes/freezes too:

I'm trying to play it on the Xbox 360 side without being online but it still freezes in the same spots.

I hve an older xbox 360, about 2 summers old now. I haven't had any issues with my xbox and I play at least two-three hours a day. I pop in L.A. Noire and now the game play is glitchy (pop-in textures, colors, cars, floating through the ground under buildings *pretty trippy*). The game has crashed or been rendered unplayable because of these various problems. I have had to replay cases, driving to destinations several times and looked for the same clues over and over again. It's upsetting that a game I have been watching closely since E3 teaser last year and on ign.com for videos and updates has left me with such a bad taste in my mouth. I really hope this gets patched or if it's a localized 'bad batch', mine was purchased through Walmart.com, then I'd like a replacement for a new game.

With regards to whats happening the game generally freezes when searching a clue or getting into a vehicle.
The Xbox freezes and the controller wont even let you get back to dash, the disc wont eject, it sounds as though the disc has stopped spinning. The only way to restart the game is to manually switch the 360 off and then back on. Same problems on all three consoles. Im unsure of exact 360 models but theyre all older non slim models and 2 have a Liteon drive and one a BenQ. Hope this helps.

I have an older Xbox 360 and that may be the problem.. but this is pethetic, the game freezes at the rockstar logo, when its loading the game and when it finally does load it freezes again in the next 2 minutes of playing.. make a patch or something

I Was having the same issues on Xbox 360, crashed four times on the first scene. Once when examining the newspaper then when i examined the gun on the roof. The next was when it examined the door and the final time was when i entered the police car after exiting the alleyway. Deleted the save and cleared the cache and all seems to be ok for now. Great game btw, totally different angle on all the usual same, same. Keep up the good work.

Thread title change was deserved. The game has issues. Whether the consoles are affected in the same way is still up for debate.
Might not be
overheating on both consoles but the game seems to be unplayable for enough people on both consoles to warrant attention.
