The air vents are on the right side, which becomes the bottom if you stand it up right, so I would think it wouldn't get as much ventilation. And over-heating is what causes the problems right? Regardless, if you have a newer 360 it shouldn't be a big deal.

Ikaruga is 800 points which is $10 USD. MS points work out to 400 points = $5. Most games are 400 and 800 points, which means most games are $5 and $10. Some of the newer and more premium games are creeping into the $15/1200 range. You might be interested in the R-Types Dimensions re-make of R-Type 1 and 2, with some cool effects and modes.
I planned on putting the console horizontal anyway. Many of my friends have told me from personal experience that moving the console when a disc is in will destory the disc and leave a big circle in it. I have witnessed these damaged discs firsthand. I really don't want to worry with the console falling over, especially with sisters around. In addition I have an old TV which acts as a shelf too. The thing is huge and I really don't want to put my xbox on the floor.

I purchased a new 360 around Christmas, is there a way to tell if it's a Jasper model?

Alright so I got this baby yesterday and all I can say is HOLY SHIT! The online is so much more painless than Wii. I think I broke my record yesterday on "hours straight I played video games". Now I have a headache though from playing until 1:00 this morning. I think I'll take a break.

Oh yeah, both the PS3 and 360 have online that's heads and shoulders above the Wii. Mario Kart Wii is about the only game that has decent online on the Wii.

You excepted him from your list? That's mean. You should be more accepting. :wink:
