I have an xbox360 around late October 2006. From MS. But wondering if those models are better then the 05 ones

I think it might be a small improvement, but I know that the ones with the new chipsets, the Falcons, are coming soon.

With your new one, make sure it's horizontal, and in a well ventilated area.. If you live somewhere hot, try to find a way to cool it.

I know you've probably heard those things before, but it's always good to keep them in mind.

Where I live, it never gets too hot or stuffy, so I'm not worried at all about mine breaking (got it June 2006, no problems) but I think you have to be careful if you live in a hot area.

so far late 2006 models are supposed to have a cooling function the the elites have as well but they are still known for the 3 red lights, if it happens again just curse under your breath and call them again and say its time for your fourth :/

I bought mine in June 2006 and it hasn't had any problems.
