So lately when I watch DVDs my 360 starts messing up and saying that "attempting to read media" and skips all over the place. Is this a warning sign? Is there anything I can do to make sure it stays healthy? Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will explode, but there might be a problem.

Just make sure the systems not against the wall. It could be that the system is overheating. That might cause permanent damage to your system. Oh, and watch out for red lights. That means the system IS dead. Mine did that:(.

Sounds like your 360 is on it's last legs, if I was you I would call microsoft and get a new one. I had to send in my launch 360 recently cause I got the red rings but before that it was giving me similar problems.

Believe it or not, over half of todays DVDs are 90% gunpowder to save publishers money. If your system gets too hot, explosion is likely.

That's a must. Besides my bro had sent his in a few months back so I was familiar with the process...sadly...
