Its not about safe-keeping as much as it is about product glitches. Many people round the world keep the 360 pretty close to their hearts since they are avid game-lovers PLUS they pay a big part of their savings to get one.

I had the Red Rings the very next day I got the 360. And it was plugged into my TV with its own wooden shelf, open aired, and had its own socket. The buyer I got it from said there were similar complaints and to return it back, and if I would like it replaced. I had no choice, so I replaced it and promptly sold it to an acquaintance at the office.

Later on Microsoft themselves admitted to the glitches in the 360 and extended the warranty too. Says something? I think they were too hasty on launching it and grabbing market share from Sony's PS3, and didnt iron out the flaws (like another flaw of the discs getting scratched from the rotating pindle inside)...the least they should have done is upgrade the console (which they are soon).

I am pretty touchy when it comes to stuff like this. Figured if it died on me the very next day then I ll continue to have problems with it...so ergo it goes! Same happened with my Gameboy a few years back...and I didnt get another.

My PS3 is great though. Been with me since last Christmas (was presented as a gift) and is going great guns so far. So between my PS3, PS2, PS, XBox, Wii, Dreamcast and the rest...I am pretty happy.:cool:
