[QUOTE="13and0"][QUOTE="Gamma15"] I'm going to get one tomorrow. Any tips on how to prevent disc scrathing and the othe problems? I'm thinking that having it lie down is the best way to keep a 360 longer.

You could use the D-Skin covers to prevent your discs from scratching(if they can be read with DS on). And keep your 360 in a WELL VENTILATED area(away from ANY heat source), such as a TV, heater, anything that uses electricity basically. And I would reccommend taking long breaks after a few hours of gaming to prevent overheating and putting your 360 in front of a fan or air conditioner to cool it down while you are on that break. But these tips may not be needed if you were to wait for the 65nm and quiter DVD drives to come out. But IF your 360 does fail, DO NOT TRY TO TAKE IT APART OR THE TOWEL TRICK, just take it back to the retailer and get a new one.*Take it apart* I wouldn't even know what to do with it then
*Towel Trick* It sounds good, but what if the water seaps? I agree with you on that one.
*fan* I've got a ceiling fan that's always on, and I'll probably make a make-shift racke or something that will allow the 360 to ventilate on all sides.
Well, thanks. But still, having the 360 on it's side, would that help with anything?
Having it on its side helps with its ventilation...I'd reccomend putting the 360 on the top rack of this:

since it fits perfectly, and using the bottom of it for keeping your games and stuff...I know that it says it's a PS3 console rack, but i own one of these and i have my 360 on it, on top of my ps3, and it gets great ventilation...Just put the top rack so that the indent is behind the xbox's back and the xbox fits perfectly on it.
