Time to buy an XBOX360?

Well I'll be damned. Wrapped the Xbox in a towel while we watched a film on DVD, and after about an hour or so the two left quadrants were flashing red indicating the Xbox was overheating. I turned it off and back on again, and decided to have a quick go of Skate to see how it was doing. An hour later, I switched the Xbox off again to watch the rest of the film, and the Xbox was still fine when I did it.

Amazed does not even come close to my reaction. I'm still fully expecting my Xbox to die properly at some point, but if it will play for an hour or so a day then I can play Skate 2 enough to review it while my spare Xbox is being repaired. I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway!
