You could try to be a little less obnoxious. I know it would be hard for you, but still...

Hey, i wouldnt mind putting things aside with you, but your response to a joke i was making about Prons kinda irked me.

Back on topic, yea, its kinda wierd that the current generation is having problems too. I know it may not look good (and i dont know how you have your setup going) but ventilated shelving is the 360's (and the power supply's) best friend. Try to keep both the console & power supply where there is a good flow of air, dont leave either on the carpet (as ive heard some horror stores about that).

I guess it would probably just be easier to switch it out at Walmart, but if you have problems after that, you may want to look into the Nyko Intercooler, it retails for $19.99 and supposedly can lower the inside temp of the 360 by 10-20 degrees (i think those were the numbers, there was a bar-graph floating around a few days ago...).

Well, good luck whatever you decide. 360's have been a bit tricky, i guess i lucked out though (got mine 1/24, only time i have freezing problems is during Oblivion).

That joke was offensive and unfunny. The moderators agree. I win.

If you want to put things aside, try not being offensive, or picking up on every damn mistake I make. Otherwise, I'll just stick to the current gameplan, which I have to admit, seems to be working for me. Now it's my turn to get back on topic.

I didn't know about these external cooling fans, but they seem like a good idea. Overheating is really the only problem that first-generation 360s are having, and it seems a pretty minor thing. If you can get a replacement, that would be best, but there's no guarantee the problem won't just re-occur with the new unit.

Try getting the update through your computer if your not connected online. If not are they used or borrowed/rented games or have alot of scratches. Mine works just fine and I got it one launch date.

Jesus, can we have one thread where people aren't attacking each other? Please.

My 360 has frozen a couple times, but not enough to get mad about it. It happens...

It was quite a while ago. Bezerker and I have got a ceasefire right now, I think.

This is such BS. I'm sick of console errors.

Where is the 360 and what is it on?

Same thing, check your ventalation, make sure the game isnt the culprit, try changing the stance (Vert, Hori). If your running Music Player sometimes this causes the games to freeze, sometimes even the system. If the game freezes, can you still get to the Dash?

I wonder why these problems even occur at all...

I always go somewhere with my consoles and get it enhanced ( which what i do is against the law) Maybe you should try adding some of that stuff like i do?
