Because it still releases heat through the plastic, so dangling it makes it release heat on all sides.
- Nov 23, 2005 3:13 pm GMTThis is the same stratagey I use when I drag out my old Nintendo. It always does the trick. It seems odd that a NES could overheat but mine does and quite frankly terrifys me. I emulate now

I read that wrong and thought you said you were suspending your 360 from a piece of string for a minute
lolPre-ordered 360 on GAME.NET 17th August 2005. - And arrived for launch
Wii - Pre-ordered at Amazon.co.uk 21st November in the 7 minutes it sold out it... Should arrive on launch day

- Nov 23, 2005 3:22 pm GMTmaybe microsoft should consider bundling power brick danglers with each console to eliminate this problem...
- Nov 23, 2005 3:24 pm GMTthey shoould create a stand for the 360 so the heat can be release from the bottom portion of the system

The huge "Power Brick" that comes with the console that is connected to the power cord.
