UncleMo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Still scared. If there is one under the tree, or a week later there is one under the b.day non tree, I'll not know if I should return it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 the 360 is the system to go with mo. ps3 are 10x worse when it comes to hardware failure.

evilselig Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 there is a guy on ebay. he makes custom 360 coolers. it's like a pad that sits on the bottom and sucks out hot air. they make similar things for laptops. i got one for mine, keeps it nice and cool and when used with a powered usb adapter it doesn't suck any energy from the 360 like that crap over the counter nyko cooler. take a look: http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Best-XBOX-360-Cool...1QQcmdZViewItem i had a console that kicked, but things have been great since i started using this one (knock on wood). i talked to the guy, he also STRONGLY suggests using an externally powered usb for things like the guitar hero controller. he claims that has caused many "rings of death". hope this helps!!

BigRog Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 One person has a problem = 5 people have a problem.

BigRog Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Then trade me to Kraw's. getting back on topic though, any issues i've heard of about playstation 3 are from someone else's experience, seeing as i have never had one. My friends have had issues but i was never there to witness them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kccitystar Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 For those of you with return warrantys and the like, try to find a Falcon chipset as those are the newer model 360s. The newer models produce less heat and use less electricity due to a 65nm processor compared to the 90nm at launch... http://forums.xbox.com/15804553/ShowPost.aspx shows you how to find a 65nm console without opening the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krawhitham Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 How much do you want to sell the dead one for? NYM is normally spamming the whole board, I ask about buying his "dead" 360 and nothing I'm starting to think he made it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
