You can buy a USB cooler, that you can point to the frontal ventilation holes of the PS2 and suck the hot air out.

Also you can move to the north pole.

I'll start packing. But so far Ive seen one USB cooler designed for the slim and it was worthless, I dont have a whole lot of room for anything bigger unfortunately.

I downloaded the update early this morning, played Rock Band for about 30 minutes, and I had no problems at all. I haven't been on my 360 since this morning so I don't know how things have been over the last several hours, but I had no problems this morning.

Xbox.com, on the other hand, is not working for me at all.

Xbox.com never works...its always having one problem or another. But its also not linked to Xbox Live at all, so its not any indication. Xbox.com never works for me when Xbox Live almost always does.

Just some lag between messages/menus. CoD4 plays fine, Im assuming Halo does too. But so far nothing has actually forced me to reset my box or any of that. Just minor 15-30 second annoyances here and there. The problems you're having aren't widespread, some just come from too many people online at once, Live doesnt have enough bandwidth to handle it. Overall Im happy with the update, once they fix this lag it will be good for me.

Its sure as hell better than Microsofts Zune update, which completely ruined everything for everyone.

And thankfully, no BSoD's yet.
