[QUOTE="Englandfc1966"]Don't be a complete idiot, if you've gone through five, what does that tell you? Your placement is obviously blocking the Air vents, I'd recommend the Intercooler EX which I have and my 360 is a launch title. Just try useing a fan and not playing 10 hours straight, kk?LP4EVA2005

If you look at the picture, you can see that the air vents aren't blocked. And I've never played 360 for 10 hrs. I get sick after playing about 2 hrs straight.

I still think it's because you have a pink controller, which I find very disturbing.

hahaha, leave the dudes controller alone..maybe they ran out of black/blue/white ones at the place he went to an had no choice??..i hope

Well my friend has a Pink controller and HE Yes i just said HE has no Problems LOL

It has happened to me twice before, but after everytime I call MS the problem fixes up on it's own. I still send it just to make sure it doesn't happen. Dunno if this still works, wrap a few towels around it and overheat the hell outta it, let it rest then it might work.

I think that means your HDD is loose. Our you don't have a 360 and your pretending you do so your oh so great PS3 can be, again falsly praised. I don't mean that in a mean way either. But I can't tell whether your complaining or just sayin'.

I put my 360 in the same position as yours, EnglandFC. Mine is also a launch 360. i play 2 hours at a time and do something else for a couple hours and play again. Mines doing great. If you get sick of playing the 360 for 2 hours straight, why would it red ring? The only explanation is you playing your 360 for 45 min,( more or less ) turning it off for a few minutes, and then turning it back on. You might be doing this again and again.Thats why it overheats. Either that, or your 360's not pluged in right. Also. there is a possiblity of your harddrive failing. Don't send it to MS. My friend sent his, and eh got the wrong Xbox back. Take your reciept from where you bought it, and see if you can renew the waranty. Hope this helps.



EDIT:HKC213 instead of England FC. Sorry for the mistake!

The posts in this thread reminded me why I don't usually come to gaming forums. It's not uncommon for someone to be on their 5th 360, more unlucky and his placement seems fine it really depends what his room is like with airflow and such. It's somewhat disheartening how everyone is saying the TC is lying about it when the 360 is the least resilient mainstream console built in the last 20 years. Get your heads out of your asses people, he isn't lying and the response shouldn't be to "stop **** and send to MS, just trying 2 get ppl 2 buy ps3".

Remeber back in the day...

when consoles never broke, and games were not either really great, or really awful.

and even the simplest games would last for hours and hours.

Those were the days

I found her Pink controller Cute. O.o You should try another place for your xbox360. Away from your HD-DVD and Monitor because they are both heat producer and will cause your xbox360 to get hotter O.o. Also is bad to always be turning on and off your xbox360 continuously on a day. If you played for 2 hours let it rest for like an hour or two. not 10 mins cause it will overheat. You May also try an intercooler if you want to. Just keep it on a ventiladed area where it can breathe

I've had my 360 for 3 months, this is my first 360 I've ever had and I take great care of it, I have the best buy replacement plan if something happens though.

thats why my friend hadan xbox that kept overheating and Mircrosoft along with many other have said they take up too much engergy and have caused overheating. YOu might be lucky but on the regular 360 the fans weren't made to good and the intercooler didn't really help people.

I just got my 360 replaced from Best Buy. No hassle what so ever. Walked in and told them I had RRoD and they even gave me $30 dollars credit since the elite dropped $30 dollars.

My new 360 seems to be a LOT queiter. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this one will last me until Xbox 720 comes out.

As i said. People who treat there 360's like new born baby's are idiots. I have mine in a fairly warm area right next to a large amplifier (which is on while i play my 360) and i have had my elite 10 or so months without a hiccup
