You could (try and) ask Microsoft to fill the console with liquid nitrogen to cool it for an extra £50, or you could just use your common sense and not put it in a bulky wooden cabinet that's going to keep all the heat in. It's a damn computer, not a toy. If you started *****ing with your CPU you'd expect malfunctions, right? We get enough of them without doing anything wrong, so a few teething problems with the 360 aren't really that big a deal.
Besides, if there is a problem, Microsoft replace your system within about a week. A pretty good service if you ask me. If something like this happened to the PS3, nobody would hound Sony the way Microsoft have been. It'd be "It's okay, PS3 is t3h r0x0rz!!!1!!1"
