Well heres a few things to keep in mind. Don’t leave the disk in the tray when you’re not playing (it messes up the drive when you start it up) Don’t keep the disk in the drive, turn it off then eject it (this will scratch the disk) Keep in a well ventilated area or better yet buy a fan for it. Find other hobbies to occupy your life ex guitar, shark hunting, bear wrestling, climbing mt everest etc 😊 and the final one is to please I stress this. PLEASE keep your receipt because xbox 360 love breaking down and keeping that receipt may save you the hassle especially if you buy it at costco then you can return it whenever and don’t forget about that warranty. Anyways hope that helps don’t bring it over people houses all the time too since that causes jarring and can mess it up . I had 3 break down on me and I don’t even play much. So good luck my friend and happy gaming.
