And what version is it? Elite? Arcade? Halo Edition?
My first 360 (since launch) I had for about 5 hours then I just turned it off. My Elite version went on for about 10 hours and then I went to sleep!

I've got the Premium version and before my daughter was born, I could get in about 4-5 hours of gaming in one sitting..since then it's about an hour or two maximum. I've left the console running for a few hours while downloading various demos and games without any problems.
My console is in the basement, in a nicely ventilated area and it's generally cool there, so I haven't had any issues..
I bought the GRAW Bundle Xbox 360, and it lasted me 6 months. It scratched my GRAW disc and left me with GOW and Arcade game thing, so i sent it into microsoft nd got back a refurbished console in 3 weeks
It was also the console i used to get the 8 hour achievment in GRAW
I have forgotten to turn it off before and left it on for over 24 hours and didn't have a problem. I got mine (premium) in August 2006. In fact, if I'm downloading something large, I frequently leave it on overnight, and many times into the next day when I get home from work.zaphod_b
Hey do you know you can set your 360 to like a Standby mode? Where it turns off but continues downloading it saves energy and doesn't run up your bill. My girlfriend found it for me and she doesn't play any Videogames, so I can't really direct you to where it is. But yeah.. try it out it's nifty. But the other night I left my 360 for probably 8+ hours? I've fallen asleep with controller in hand many times.
I have had my 360 since launch and its a PRO. I have had no problems what so ever and i played it for 10 hours once and no problems that was when Oblivion came out.
Premium launch and an Elite. I played 20 hours straight on it yesterday which ive done MANY times now, and ive never had a single problem with either. I even went on vacation for 5 days once and left it on by mistake, came home, popped a game in, and played half the night with no problems.DZBricktop
ha you left it on during vacation i could just see your house burning down but it just depends on the space cushion you give it
march 2006, 21 mo. and still going (knocks on desk)
I once woke up at 10 ish, and played oblivion until 3 am.and i left it running during my 2 food breaks it was a productive day
i've fallen asleep on my couch late at night while downloading demos a couple times. It was still working fine 8hrs later (all downloads completed of course). I have a standard 360 and i have it in my living room standing up. No fans or anything (yet). BTW, my unit is fairly new.
Well did you know you can set your console to automatically turn off after 6 hours of inactivity?Premium launch console... longest I've had it on... maybe about 36 hours... played games then watched a DVD and fell asleep... woke up the next morning, went to class... noticed it was still on after class and turned it off... no problems...
