New xbox 360 elite problems???

Hey everyone,

I recently bought the new xbox 360 elite and I haven't had it for that long and so far already I have had 2 glitches, I don't know why they even happened and I don't know if its a major problem.

Can anybody give me the reassurance or peace of mind that its not a big issue?

Thanks
MarkAldridge

    If it is the new SLIM 360, you need to make sure that there is plenty of space to the sides, if stood upright, or the top if laid flat. By space I mean a good 5 or 6 inches or preferably more. Any less impedes the exhausting of the hot air - it uses a completely different system to the old one and exhausts through the side/top and not the rear. There's a Youtube video of a guy who had one with only a couple of inches gap to one side and he got graphics issues. He increased the gap and they disappeared.
