If you do not want a X-box 360 that doesn't over-heat, get the X-box 360 Elite. They never over-heat.
Actually that is a myth they have the same failure rate. All Xbox 360 have the same problem faulty or poor soldering quality.
Xbox 360 Elite Prone to Same Problems as Others
We’ve all seen the pictures of the motherboard changes. I assumed that these would protect the console better from heat and such to make sure less consoles would die. But alas, no. Microsoft has introduced another new product that is failing at a higher than normal rate.
To top it all off, the disc scratching issue is back. Seriously Microsoft, what the hell? Did you completely get rid of your QA
