Just make sure it's in a well-ventilated spot. That's all you can do really. And the360 generally does run hot.

Sounds like a normal nice and healthy 360 to me. :)

If there is no failure error (3 red lights) don't worry about it - they are warm consoles.

The only problem is that i was up at my friends house over the weekend and i was playing Gears and it froze. The three red lights came on and i shut it off. I turned it back on and it did the same thing. I took the xbox home and it worked fine. Now it is getting hot very fast.

It means you play the 360 too much :roll:

Meh, not really but it's the way they were made. Just buy a fan and put it on the ventilating spot and it'll cool down faster. Mine did when I got the 360.

If that's the case, then it's only a matter of time before your 360 dies completely. Once you get the 3 red lights you're screwed. It might be OK for a while, but be prepared for the inevitable.

Yeah - that's not the same thing - this sin't good. So you have a "NOT" healthy 360 then. :(

Call MS and get it fixed - the 3 red lights will only get more consistent until it finally just craps out and it probably won't be too long before that happens. Sorry to hear that man.

I think im just going to push it out. Get all I can out of the system, and then when it finally breaks that when I will call Microsoft.
