How many hours a day or week do u play on the box ?

after a car accident in 1999 i no longer work. so i have lots and lots of spare time.. i spend on average about 8hrs a day playing on the xbox .. and a few hours on the p.c .. but this does vary depending on the days .. yesterday i did 14 hrs on the box alone .. some m8s say things like u lucky b******* and some others say u sad b******* ... lol is it sad to spend so much time on something u like or not ?

I usually play my Xbox between 45 minutes to 2 hours every single day. Yesterday, I couldn't play long because I was in pain.:( I might not play my Xbox for a long period of time, but I play mine very single day. my streak of playing Xbox is at around 415 days.

I would have to say I play on my xbox about 20 hours a week and now that I am trying to setup my xbox live I will be on all the time.:)

:) That's quite a bit. I'd love to play that much but I'm usually busy posting here. Plus, I have 16 videogame systems to play and I have to play them all.

I have played Morrowind all day long, several times...not even warm. Mainly because the room I have my Xbox in is very cool in the summer (when i played morrowind for days at a time), and my Xbox is on an elevated wire rack, so theres room for the heat to escape. ;)

My bedroom with my Xbox feels like a giant heater. My other bedroom feels like a refrigerator(sp).

About overheating Xbox Owner, I don't believe in leaving any of my systems of longer than a 1 1/2 hours. I just don't want to mess up any of my videogame systems. All 16 of my videogame systems mean everything to me.

The Xbox can not overheat. The only way it would overheat is if the fan broke. As long as you can hear it humming, you're fine. It's basically like a computer. Do you leave your computer on for more than an hour and a half? Of course you do.

What if you're like my friends brother and had his fan break (on the pc, not xbox) from playing games all day long...it was pretty funny to see the side of his pc ripped open and 2 oscillating fans cooling down his computer :D

Maybe cause your Xbox is in an enclosed area sitting flat on a solid surface. If you have it on an elevated wire rack out in the open, it'll be cool all the time...like mine. :D

LOL, I don't know if that's the case. But still, don't rob yourself from valuable gaming time just because of a fear of overheating....even though it's never even happened. :)

My Xbox playtime is very variable, sometimes I have played 14 hours with little brakes in between for snack, sometimes two, sometimes 4 or more for a week, but all I know is that I play a lot, but I started college today and I have 12.5 units and study from MONday to FRYday, I am going to have lots of Homework and study, then I am going to get a part time job:( , I am going to have few time to play and so many awesome titles coming up for this year:eek: nooooooo!

I do that to all my consoles. I try to be very careful with them all because I treat my consoles that they were my kids. ;) I do know a few people that have left their systems on for a while and they did break. My Xbox does feel hot when I play it for 45 minutes though.

Right now I haven't played my Xbox for at least 4 days. I usually play it everyday, but this week I have had to study and do other stuff. The only times I really play XBox for more than 7 straight hours is when I have a bunch of friends over playing Halo;)
