Having just been treated to the 360 with 250gb for my birthday after saving up and wanting one for about 3 years I am just a little bit concerned that I do all I can to prevent wear and tear and to optimise its chances of living to a ripe old age. I now know to install the games I want to play to cut down no disk drive wear.
I have noticed that it still gets quite warm while playing so at the moment I am trying to make surte that after a couple of hours I give it a break and let it cool down naturally to room temp again. Am I being overly precious about it and a bit paranoid? Will this do any good at all or is it completely unnescessary. The manual says that if it gets too hot that it will automatically cut out anyway to protect itself and not come back on until it is cool.
Is there anything that I can do in the general day to day playing that will help prevent ring o' death and am I being over cautious?
