Play in an air-con'd room. And after a few hours of play, give the 360 a 20 minute break or something (which is what I usually do)

Another thing to try is to see if the air coming out the back of the 360 is just warm or it feels like it's coming out of a hairdryer

Suspend your 360 in mid-air? I think it was suspend your power-brick in mid-air. I put mine on a shoe box so it doesn't touch the ground and it never gets hot tongue.gif

3 Red Lights simply mean hardware error/failure. Not "OMFG DUDE YOU'RE XBOX IS SCREWED" tongue.gif I encountered the Red Lights when I had some trippy voltage. My 360 is perfectly fine now. Not 'kaput' yet laugh.gif
