Just "Jumped In"

Just got my 360 today.
Got Kameo
and Saints Row with it.
Im already loving Saints Row.
Havent tried Kameo yet.
My 360 is pretty hot and the guy at EB Games said to leave it on for 6 hours for the first use?
What can i do to cool it down.
Ive already put a standing fan focused on it.

The EB guy is an idiot. Dont worry about it.

I was a bit confused too.
The console is hot and the power bar is hot.
Anyone else got ideas?

congrats, the 360 rocks! just keep ur 360 in a cooled room, lay it down it seems to be cooler like that, u can play it as long as u want, buy some more games, and the fan will helpMarineXXII

all 360's are hot, including mine, but mine hasnt died yet after a year of use and hotness, so i wouldnt get all worried about it, though leaving it on for an extended period of time does tend to make it freeze up (at least mine)

when I first got mine it ran real hot but after a few weeks it wasn't that bad at all

untill I had to get a new one lol

congrats on gettin a 360. that eb guy is a moron. dont even worry about it, i've had huge gameplay sessions way longer than 6 hours, your 360 wont break or anything.

Always keep any console below any other electrical components, because heat rises. Also keep it on a hard surface and leave as much space around it as possible. Keep the power supply as far away from the 360 as possible. If you do this, you canleave the 360 on indefinelty. I routinely have the 360 running for 8 hours or more. I have left it on for as much as 12 hours during Oblivion marathons.

Welcome to 360 land!
