So it's possible that Prey's engine pushes the processors harder than some others. Actually, any given game engine could exercise the CPU and GPU in different way than others.

Rumors are that it could be corrupting the hard drive -- but that's just an early rumor. If you can believe it, I haven't picked up my copy yet, but I'm hoping it doesn't kill my (currently functional) console.

You certainly could try a Nyko Intercooler fan too, but there's some debate on if that's a good thing or not. Personally, I found that it cooled off my 360 quite a bit, but was just painfully loud. And yes, if you're getting 3 red rings, your warranty will go for up to 3 years.

Send your Xbox in to Microsoft once and for all. I know it sucks to let go of it, but that's the only way you'll get it fixed properly. Especially now that they extended the warranty for the 3 red ring issue, you have no excuse. They even have a special new Website where you can start the service process: http://service.xbox.com Dude… Send your Xbox in to Microsoft once and for all.

Now if you don't mind having your 360 standing up, i've found this vertical stand fan to be an excellent cooling system. it eliminates the possibility of causing power surge or arc related problems in the unit because it is powered by its own independent ac adaptor, which is also handy because you can leave the cooling stand on after the 360 is turned off to get the unit completely cooled off faster.
