ngeehehehee!!! thank bro.. tomorow kerja lah.. if got time i`ll chek the forum..

1. Make sure the console is placed horizontally and NOT vertically.
2. Don't play too long! For me, only six hours per day if u wanna avoid the errors and the red rings(play 3 hours, rest 3 hours, then play 3 hours)
3. Make sure the air holes are not covered with dust
4. Play in a well-ventilated room(put it near a fan to avoid overheating)
5. NEVER knock or let your xbox 360 fall. the components inside are VERY fragile.
6. avoid going online because if YOU really don't want to get banned. yes! even the original ones can get banned randomly for no solid reasons.
7. if u plan to keep your console in the box, let it cool down for a while after playing b4 keeping.
8. don't panic if your screen goes black suddenly with the sound still on. it's mostly due to the cables.
9.ALWAYS install a game b4 playing!
10. visit gaming websites( the major ones are IGN and Gamespot) for updates on games if u want to be a gamer rather than just a player.
11. Research a game b4 you buy! game reviews might help.
12. gamefaqs.com is a good site to ask for help. they respond quickly. BUT, beware... they are very fussy about the use of PERFECT english.

may all my tips be useful to u and most importantly, HAVE FUN=)

What will happen if it's place vertically? I'm doing it right now.

Nothing will happened except slightly better ventilation as heat will accumulate at the bottom of the console if placed horizontally.

He's applying his personal preferences to prevent 3RRoD to his reply that's all.

My advice would be:-

-Make sure your power source is stable
-Don't change console placement when the console is running
-Don't place the console in enclosed space
-Always clean the dust around console area and the ventilation hole
-Don't use any cheap ventilation fans that draw power from XBOX power brick!

Current console is mostly immune to the previous fault so tips like place vertically, put fans behind the console or restrict game play time is not necessary.

and unlike the one said above, I do recommend to use the console online if your console is not modified. If you get banned that means there is somethign fishy about the console. They will not ban a console without a solid reason.

If you console is modified, make sure you do not ask anything about it especially pirate related stuff in here.

hahahah in that case better not buy xbox360 lol...

don't forget in case of earthquake, lift console and dance to the rhythm of the earthquake to avoid internal damage.

Lol +1

what should u do..

just on and play the game u want..
dont bother how long u've been playing
just enjoyed urself

Add up a couple of people you see hanging out at the MP game of your choice, get gold xbox live membership and have some serious fun.

If you place the console vertically, you will increase the risk of getting the disc scratched. lolx. i agree with the dancing part.xD.

source?
it has been 6 month for me
nvr had any single scrath on my disc..
coz i install all of them to my hdd
hahahahaha

Well, my jasper is more than a year old now, and this whole time it's been placed vertically, it's often played for far more than 6 hours per day (and often without break), I've been slacking with dusting my xbox, it's under my desk so ventilation isn't great, it's online the moment it's switched on(but then again mine isn't modded), i run a lot of games without installing and so far i've had no problems whatsoever.

I do however agree with having fun with the xbox.

Source: A couple of unlucky gamers in various forums. well, better safe than story right?

avoid going online?? ur console must hv bee modified.. i think...

Don't trust these ppl too much.

The only case I've ever acknowledged is that a legit user is banned for owning a modded console. After investigation then only revealed that the console is actually a modded console before sent in to microsoft as RMA and the team who repaired it never manage to reverse the modification. This poor guy had this console for his RMA process and become a true victim.

The rest are all talking male chicken.

if u want to play xbox360 games just buy it the risk owes have,RROD .but so far jasper set seem stable for me ,i bought last yrs august and now so far so good and i place it vertical position. if scare xbox got problem ps3 also have YLOD.about onlie gaming if u prefer online buy unmode if prefer offline buy modified 1.

But, I found out that a few people got banned just for playing ORIGINAL GAMES sold(leaked early) So, who should be blamed??? The game developers for shipping the game too early or the shop for selling them so early? Well, I am pretty sure that the ones who bought it should not be blamed. I mean who can resist the temptation if it's a game that you desperately want...

I bought mine last March. It's my BABY!lolx

woowwww...lot`s of info in here.. thanks all.. i will do as recommended..
yeahh... im a bit worry about 3rod and other problem.. but so far so good..
im just playing xbox after gone back from work.. a day maybe around 4-5 hours...

hmmm... this month i would like to get LCD monitor with HDMI plug-in
any u guys would recommend me what kind of LCD monitor can i buy.. my buget is around rm600.

That is user ban not console ban. Please be aware of it as they're different type of ban

and btw, Alan Wake is sold early and never being banned. The getting banned is those who ignored the sticker on the box saying "Do not unpack until specified date" kind of game. If you get from a retailer, blame the retailer but usually those banned player is those with a very clear evidence that they illegally obtained an original copy from illegal source.

You should learn to filter the information you received dude....

hahaha sure dude.

cannot knock it? whoa... these days when i was moving... i kinda have a slight knock on the carpet floor when i try to put it in plastic bag... hopefully nothing wrong... but warranty still here.. so if anything wrong ask M$ replace for me.. lol..

but to tell you the truth... I loiter in gaming site more than the time I play games sometimes.. especially whn I am very busy and cant play my console cuz scared will play 10 hours straight... but the time spent on net its omost the same as the time i will play my games... it became a bad habit.. sigh..
