Is it true that the Cooling system on the 360 works better if it's laying flat or does it make a difference whether or not it's standing up?

If you think this through it is just that there has been a huge influx in the use of the 360 nation wide since the release of halo 3. This has just brought some underlining problem with the overheating issue with the 360 to serface sooner on a bunch of systems that would have soon or later anyway.

Only run your 360 for a hour and then break for 15 minutes or so and keep it well ventilated.

Your profile says you are 18, but somehow I am inclined to believe you are actually around the age of 10-14.
