if you are an idiot, yes, if not, no. I have had mine for 4 years now, no problem, and the new ones are much MUCH better.

They are not necessary, just some third party junk that tries to cash in on people's paranoia that there Xbox might go out.

On the originals...maybe...but on the later ones...no. As long as the xbox isn't closed up in a cabinet of the entertainment center and can "breathe" it is fine without one.

I remember back when the original 360 launched and the paranoia around overheating was peaking, Nyko released a "cooling fan" that actually decreased the air-flow and increased chances of overheating. I'm fairly sure there was a law-suit over this. My point being is that if you bought one you wasted money and have been suckered.

A tech told me they are actually bad for the console.

Sit one of these behind your entertainment center to circulate the air and you'll be fine.

My dates back to '07 and had trouble locking up. But no problem with it after I put a fan on it. I would think it's necessary for older models. shite my damn disc reader is crapping out now. Gotta replace that.
