in reference to ninja .... what the fuck are you talking about? lol the xbox 360 was designed to site tall ways and on its side hence the rubber feet on both it doesnt matter how the damn thing sits as far as function goes
and yes cleaning it is the only maintenance a console should EVER need fuck i can go grab my n64 nintendo sega and gameboy blow them off once and hteyd all run fine
the 360 was just all round an unreliable fuckin console deal with it quit trying to make excuses for something you arent even a damn part of -.- lol
consoles are meant to be sittin gthere and working thats IT the 360s DONT do that consistently due to them using outdated chips and insufficient cooling causing the red ring because of heating issues
the only secondary maintenance ever needed on these things should be cleaning the lens which once more is just cleaning
if the 360 was as reliable as the fuckin ps3 id go for it AFTER i got the ps3 simply because the ps3 does indeed work better in most aspects
the new xbox360 id say go for it but im pretty sure the OLD ps3 slim would still perform on par or better with it
and the reason the NEW xbox 360 is so much better is smaller chip = runs cooler and they fixed their fuck up of a heating issue that they had going on in the original
also ps3 you can still mod xbox.. microsoft says piss off and bans you
minus the firmware update taht they fucked the seperate os install with
