I purchased my console about a month after the 360 launched, and while it hasn't red ringed on me (oddly enough), the thing does seem to put out enough heat it my small room to heat the place up to about 80 degrees when playing over an extended period of time.Plus, the warranty for the thing will be up on January, so I'm thinking it might be time to get myself one of these Jaspers people keep going on about. If it means quieter fans and cooler temps in my room, I'll definetely purchase another one. Of course, when I'll get around to dropping another $200 on one I'm not sure, but I'm certainly considering it.
As for purchasing a 3rd console, I doubt I'll ever do that. It's too late in the 360's life cycle for me to purchase a 3rd one - if both my 1st and 2nd consoles die, I'll just set aside the money for the next Xbox.
