Well, I've had my Xbox a month or so (premium), and today it has been running for about 13 hours non stop (bloody fifa 08 manager mode is far too addictive, though infuriating) and it doesn't even seem too hot, hasn't frozen. The air coming out of the back is a bit warm, but nothing really compared to my 2900xt after a couple of hours of gaming. I've had only one freeze and that was also during fifa a couple of weeks ago, during penalties against my brother, I think it just couldn't handle the pressure
. No problems running GTA expect the dodgy multiplayer connections.
I'm sure it's been running longer aswell, as I fell asleep one night with it on and it times out after 6 hours
