Supposedly the newest batches of 360 handle heat better. That said I have a first generation and I never had heat problem. Just make sure you put in on a smooth surface for the vents under it.

About the Disks unreadable errors. I've used mine for a long time and it started doing it recently. I'm convinced it's the dvd drive. I'd open the 360 and have a look myself but you know how they don't like us doing that.

I have a hard drive with mine so what I do is I install the game on it before I start playing and then it works fine. It looks annoying having to install games before playing, but on the other hand installed games have faster loadings and smoother gameplay, so it's not bad really.

Still I'll have to have it repaired eventually. Make sure you remove your hard drive before you do, or you could get misplaced.
