If u had a 360 and didnt had a problem with overheating until a few months then its proberly dust.  Mine started to overheat out of no where, so i took a vacume and put it up the holes on the 360 and started to suck all the dust out, and it worked.  Just wanted to help some people out that didnt know that, but its not always dust.

the 360 doesn't over heat. unless you get the left two red lights flashing then your console shuts itself off, THATS when it overheats. Read the manual.

That is a good idea should probably just do it from time to time anyways even if your 360 isnt overheating.

I dont have any problems with my 360, but i still blow the dust out every few months with a can of air.
