I'm willing to bet it was just people who bought the first ones, and were putting them in enclosed areas.

I won't lie, these things generate some major heat....just keep in an open place where lots of air will circulate.

indeed, mine sits on a old industial style restraunt rack. I can't imagine what would happen if you put it in a shelf next to a bunch of audio equipment.

Looking at the xbox forum that i frequent there is not real knowing which ones come faulty.

It either was heatfoil or ignorance that caused the problem. I got my XBOX360 the first day and mine has not overheated since because, like a person with common sense, I the power supply in a well ventilated area.
