I'm curious to know how many people get it again after returning it to Microsoft. I'm not sure what I'm going to do it I get it. I may try to repair it myself (I am in South Africa so imagine how long it will take me to get mine back!) A friend of mine successfully repaired his himself.

I was house-sitting/dog-sitting for my parents late last week and they rented me an Xbox 360 because they heard mine broke and they wanted me to have something to do. So I did get to play while I waited. Hopefully it won't take too much longer. Ha, really?

Overheating can happen within an hour or so of play. Generally, try to keep your Xbox in a cool place, where it has some open space. Try to keep it separate from other consoles, DVD players or cable/satellite boxes if you can help it. Small compartments in an entertainment unit could also make it overheat faster. - Colin I play it almost daily, if only for an hour or so per day.

I've been hearing more and more about this one the news. It's good to hear that Xbox is honoring the issues though. How often do you play your box? To be honest, I'm only on 5-10 hours per week in total so am I most likely safe from the overheating and crashing? -Paul Colin,
