i would recommend u to place it vertical 1 inch above the table surface not on carpet e.g put two dvds on the both sides so that air is well ventilated inside console and put a usb fan on its back easily avaiable from any shop!!!!!!!!! dat worked for me like a charm for 1 and half year after dat it got rroded then xclamped month back still working fine.

Both sides have equal number of ventilation holes. But I agree mossemos, its best to put it on a hard surface raised a few inches by a few dvds and make sure there is open space on all five sides.

yup disk scratching could be a potential problem. also if youve coin tricked your 360, dont pllay it vertical.

Whichever way you put it, make sure there is something under it, so it's not directly on the floor or the table. you can use a box if you wish as long as it's not directly on top of whatever you've got it on. A Cushtop it acts as a stand and also the material that it's made of, absorbes the heat, so it's really good.

ookkk..but wat bout d disc scratchin issue???:|

the problem was in launched consoles dont worry abt disk scratches worry abt rrod add usb external(not nyko) fan additional internal fan near heatsinks convert 360 fans to 12volts and maybe ur 360 survive 2 years

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
