You’ll have a lot of fun with it.
Our advice is to just not put your credit card on your system at all.
Don’t cram it into a cabinet or TV stand or something.

Keep it out in the open.
They don’t really help that much.
Keep Your System Clean
Our next bit of advice is to keep your system clean.
Don’t let it get dirty, and especially don’t let the vents get clogged with dust.
And third, don’t stack other stuff on top of your system.
Don’t put games or DVD cases on top of it.
Don’t put other electronics on it.
If you position your system in a good place and keep it clean, it absolutely will last longer.
Vertical is a bad choice, in our opinion.
Imagine playing a Kinect game where you’re jumping all over the place.
Your system may wobble back and forth and your game will almost certainly get damaged.
Or worse, your system might fall completely over onto the floor.
Obviously a bad thing.
Keep it horizontal, and you shouldn’t have any problems.
Choose something simple that people can actually read in the heat of battle so they can communicate with you.
you could change your gamertag later, but it’s better to get it right the first time.
