i took your suggestions, moved the ps3/wii, set it on its side, even did the towel thingy. it was green for about 2 mins, started up bioshock, an not even 3 seconds into the game, it froze again. so, shit. i dunno what else to do other than smash it concidering my warranty is done.

Xbox sucks. It overheats, PLUS it's a console made by microsoft. play with a different console, m'kay?

You see how you have it vertical?
BAD SYLUX.
Or you just have an older model.
In any case. Send it to Microsoft or get a newer one.

Hmm, I thank God I haven't recieved the Ring of Death. Doesn't putting it sideways vent hot air from both sides keeping it from over heating?

my friend has an x-box and i wanna kill it cos it keeps me awake when i stay over. sounds like an asthmatic granny. i don't think putting it on its side would make a difference. the main reason they overheat is cos
a. the components aren't all properly compatible
b. they suck in dust and it clogs the fan.
c. they suck. period. get a ps3 :D
the only thing that you can do to prevent the immanent death of your x-box is keep it in a cooler place with nothing obstructing it. and check it for dust alot

Why buy another one when you can call Microsoft, tell them the code thinger on the back of the 360, and then tell them all this shit, they send you a box, you send the box in to Microsoft, wait about 1 week, get a brand new working 360.
Or you can spend like, 300 - 500 dollars on a new console, up to you.
Yeah, whatever.

That's a shame. I have yet to get the RRoD and hopefully will not.
Howeever you should have a warranty on it so Microsoft replaces it for free most of the time. When you get it back the will patch up all the make shift jobs they made on the console to get it launched before the PS3. And you also get a free month of XBL. If that means anything to you.
Hope everything works out.

Send it in and get a brand new xbox you fool, you damned fool.
Or try selling it to some dumb kid for more than what it's worth and buying a PS3 instead.
And if you don't like the PS3, just look into the Red Ring of Death and cry yourself to sleep.
