Topic.
Just curious. Mine works fine after over a year.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Had mine for a few months and hasn't broken.
Just keep it in a big space with about a foot around the edges,(On top of a desk or something is good) and if you stand it up the side vents are blocked.
I don't buy that. You could also argue that if you keep it horizontal, the bottom side traps the heat, evenly baking the entire console. I don't want to get into a debate of Vertical vs. Horizontal, because it doesn't matter what you do. It's an inherent problem with the console. The RRoD can hit you at any time no matter how well you think you're taking care of it.Had mine for a few months and hasn't broken.

All 5 of my 360's have been on a glass shelf, laying flat, with about a foot of empty space in either direction. Not only does my console have about a foot of room in either direction, but the same is true of my power supply. This is inside a room that is always temp. controlled and plugged in to an outlet that is giving the proper voltage and frequency and not fluctuating at all (one thing lots of people don't realize can screw up electronics).
And even after all of this, I'm on my 5th 360. And of the 4 that crapped out on me already, one lasted 2 weeks and another lasted only 5 freakin days. 2 RROD's, 1 disc drive crapped out, and another that couldn't be on for more then 5 minutes w/o completely freezing (even at the dashboard). All were brand new from the store (connections at EB = free store warranties).
^^^That's why people on these forums piss me off when they go "Well, I've had my system for over a year, everyone else must not know how to take care of theirs." People are too ignorant or just too blinded by fanboyism to see the 360 has serious hardware issues.
