I just realised that my Xbox 360 (Falcon chipset) sits between 6 inches away and actually touching my 2400W oil column convection heater, surface temperature? Too hot to touch for more than a few seconds. That shows how much I care I guess...

Im not worried at all, its just a convenient place to put it so I can access the drive because I store my disks/etc in a chest under my seat. I like the toasty feeling of sitting next to my heater and I like the convenience of sitting next to my Xbox 360 so yeah why should I worry? Im covered by a RROD warranty until February 2011 anyway and I have a gaming PC/PS3/Wii to play if it breaks.

Btw I haven't had any glitches, hitches, freezes, 2 ring overheating or anything like that. But its still funny. "OMGZ the RROD monster will get youz!"

All I can say is LULZ!!!

You are cheating, you perfectly know it's actually the XB360 that's heating the heater, that in this case should be considered a cooler!!!

I hear most 360's break in the dog days of summer. Mine was a launch unit that only had a few months to go before actually surviving for three years without a RROD, then it died on a very hot day in August when I had no AC/FAN on so it was boiling in here. Yet yours is right near a heater and does not suffer? Truly fascinating.



It's just that simple.

Perhaps its because the Falcon units use about 40-50w less heat and have better heat sinks for their heat output than Launch units? Anyway Jasper will obviously be better.

 



Tease.

I am very much convinced that while the RRoD was definitely a huge problem, not everyone who says they got one actually got one or even owns a 360. Very much like the people who say they own all three consoles. I seriously doubt there are that many people out there who own all three. Hmmm.....strange. The people who say they own all three are usually arguing vehemently that a certain one of them is the best one and that the other two never get played. Just like how Sony fanboys often say they had a 360 RRoD so they switched to the PS3. It's the lowest form of fanboyism in my eyes.
