Pic here -
I'd of figured the heat would have been the same, not worse. I understand that where it is, is a bit more confined, but it sits on something which has gaps in, it has about 5-6 inches of space above it, openings to both sides and space all the way to the back wall behind it, yet it's still getting rather warm. This is concerning me because where my TV is (slightly out of shot) on the picture is exactly where the console was before. I understand there is going to be somewhat more space underneath so perhaps more air can be easily drawn, as well as the heat getting free easier but why that much warmer?
I played Black Ops yesterday on Campaign for like 30 minutes an the disc was roasting hot, an the ambient temperature was only like 20c. In the past, where the console sat, playing games in 22c ambient was safe. My room is frequently warm. Mid summer, I'd say the ambient temp can approach 30c.
Note, in Summer 2010, MW2 cracked when I put it back in it's case after playing MW2 for about 3-4 hours straight when it was about 26-28c in my room. That's how hot the discs get.
What's the dealio!?
I have limited space, especially now I have that TV there.
Peace
