Keep it well ventilated. Chances are that it should be ok, but the new chips don't come out till later this fall. So the overheating issue may still remain.l

What i heard is that the red light come from system failier. And this comes from hair type cracks inside the 360, they said it occurs from keeping your 360 at a constant temp for long periods of time's. So if you want to prevent this dont play for hours, or buy a the fan extensions. This is what i heard, and read so you might want to research this, but still try not to keep your 360 on for hours.

Yeah, just keep it well ventillated and give it a break every couple of hours and you should be fine. I've also found that it stays at least 10 degrees cooler when you stand it up in the vertical position.

You guys do notice that this topic is over 1 year old and that the "TC" has been banned. I'm not sure why this topic got bumped? :?

As for avoiding the RRoD, just take good care of system. By that I mean keeping it where it can get plenty of air, also keep it away from carpets as they cause heat. Also keep the power cord in a good area with lots of space. I've done this for nearly two years (september will be 2 yrs.) and so far, so good.
