All Xboxes can overheat, no matter what type they are. If you have it in a open space, your good to go.

Microsoft really didn't change anything and I don't think they will be bothered to do anything else. So to answer your question, they will never solve the overheating problems. Your just gonna have to solve it for yourself. :/

Get an Elite. Oh noes I will have to wait 1-2 weeks when it breaks!! Seriously, who cares, you'll get it repaired or replaced for 3 years for red lights.

The elites have the better heat sink- new premiums as well, just make sure you don't pick up one that's been on the shelf for a year...
