Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim
Guys, my 360 I have now has been with me since '07 and I haven't had any problems with it until now. It's began overheating just randomly when playing BF3. It's been in the same space the past year as always and never overheated until this past month. It's probably done it 7-8 times this month now.
I just recently moved rooms and got all new furniture and the space for my 360 on my TV stand is a lot tighter than my old area and after about 10 minutes of sitting idle at the dashboard the 360 will overheat. So I have to play with it just sitting in the floor. I have also noticed my 360 just seems to get louder and louder every day and has shut off before on its own with the 3 red lights, but always started back up normally.
Would it be wise to go ahead and get new slim along with a 250GB HDD? I need a larger HDD anyways since my 120GB is filling up and forcing me to delete things I don't want to. Would the slim overheat like my 360 is? The space I'd be putting it in has about 2-3 inches of space above the current white 360, 4-5 inches(These guestimates are probably off) on each side, open air in the front, 3-4 inches in the back with a hole for the wires that I guess could allow some air in.
With the slim being smaller and less likely to overheat, would it work in a space like that? If you guys need pictures of the space I could probably do that.
