Awesome graphics man! That rocks! :attn: Almost reminds me of the good ole DoS days! LOL

BTW, is that the new "matrix Reloaded" game? hahahaha
 
i love how the english fades into the sweet japanesearu characters. GO GO AMERICAN MADE *yeah right* system. I can really see the 3 cores being put into good use! Man, is it microsoft's job to crash everything they put windows in?

so far our 360 hasn't had a single problem.

i just got done playing it. Was playing it for a good....4 hours non-stop. and my dad was playing it for 4 hours non-stop right before me.

not a single error, glitch, or anything

A few game glitches happened though. Need For speed: Most wanted crashed on my cousin. But when i checked it out, it seemed to be the game that screwed up and not the console.

The console does dump out quite a bit of heat from the back of it, But then again, i have felt hotter heat being pumped out of my Brothers Laptop.

And the giant power pack, Its decently warm, but ours hasn't over heated like people have been saying it does. Some have been saying that the power pack has screwed up on them, because it got to hot. Ours hasn't, and has been sitting in an area where there's not a whole lot of air flow. ( but then again, even though it is sitting on carpet, its in the basement, and the floor is still decently cool. )

Nor have i felt Excess heat being generated from the HDD either.

maybe we were lucky and got a good unit? Dunno.

while the 360 IS fun, I still think Microsoft Rushed the Release. Not just for the christmas season ( if they wanted it out for the christmas season, they wouldn't purposly limiting supplies of consoles ). But instead they are doing it just to get a leg up on the PS3.

i'd rather wait a few months longer, and have all the bugs fixed, and have more Release titels. And not ports. Exclusive titles, that actually USE the power of the 360. would have been nice if there was more like 20+ exclusive game titles to choose from, instead of like...5ish. ( not sure exactly how many exclusive titles there are, we only have 2. Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero. and a few other Non-exclusive's.

But Meh, just my own 2 cents.
 
This is the OC. I would think you poeple would just slap a bigger fan on it and be done with it. ;)

And what's with everyone being glad they didn't get one after they find out it isn't perfect?

Also, the xbox's exhaust fan only ran at 20%, so my guess is the xbox360's fans do about the same. They could release a firmware update that could increase the fan speed to help with cooling.

Oh I hope this is true and it's a easy fix for all the poor people who brought this and are having problems. I would think if this is a heat problem with most units then M$ could at least throttle the fans.

Hears some more pic's;

I played my friends for two days, all except for four hours of sleep and it only locked up one time on us. That was just b/c of going to the live blade on a level load. I think a lot of people's problems are playing it too long in a poor ventalated area, but I'm sure there are plenty of flat out crashes for no good reason. MS seems to be replacing everyone's system w/o a problem. The 360 is amazing btw. Worth its price imo if you have a nice hdtv.

he meant that the system itself isnt glitching, but the game was causing the glitch.
