[QUOTE="WraithsLotus"]no its not, they will just say anything to justify them buying a $800+ pc that has the same performance as a 360 that costs hundreds less. you may get higher fps and a mouse but you spend way to **** much when you can play as less as 280 to play bioshock flawlessly on 360 with no problems and any other game thats comes out on it.spierdalaj666
True. But then again, their games won't be stuck using technology from the year 2006 for the next four years like yours will.
i really hope you're speaking from experience.. because the only thing gamers have gained in the past year.. is dx10. gfx cards have only gained more shaders and faster speeds.. graphical enhancements haven't gone passed what's hard coded into the games xbox 360/pc gamers are playing. now when games start to support 512 meg cards.. and use them to its potential.. then yeah.. sh|t out of luck for consoles.. until the next-next gen.
okay first, people say they cause problems because they don't read the instructions when they try and install them... your xbox 360 memorizes the amount of volts received.. so when you plug the intercooler in without reseting your 360 completely you get the 3 red rings..because your 360 thinks there's a power issue. youre supposed to UNPLUG EVERYTHING that's 360 related and wait 30 seconds.. then plug in the cooler and vuala.
2nd: reports of burning dmg caused by the intercooler has been proven false, the a$$hole took a lighter to it so he could get a new 360 when his bricked.
i've had the intercooler for 6months or so and i couldnt be more happy with it.. ive tested the heat differences and yes it's still fking hot as hell but 3-10 degrees C better.
don't bash it before it's been released.. caught several ppl already talking **** and they haven't even played the demo. most of'em are PO'd fanboys that haven't gotten their pc demo yet. this is one of the first person games that finally brings back a fresh and interesting story line.. like picking up Halo 1 on display booth in best buy for the first time. dontchu take that from me **** if you've played the demo and you still wanna talk **** you aren't human :x and i personally wish you to walk off a cliff and avoid the jagged rocks below so that you may be raped by sharks.
1st) Unplug everything from your tv that's xbox related, unplug everything from your xbox.. uncluding nyco/pelican coolers if you have them/HDD etc. let it sit for 1 min. plug everything back in starting with your tv components..and power supply last.
2nd.) pray to the xbox 360 mingys that you didnt bang the sh!t out of it while you were moving around. If all else fails.. get prepared to deal with the worst customer support ever. if the new warranty deal or whatever is in effect you'll be fine. if not.. find someone whos computer savvy and have them replace the gpu and cpu paste with some Arctic Silver thermal paste.. and the dust while they're at it. should fix all problems unless it's faulty hardware.. then you're screwed :/ good luck mang
forgot.. most of the time ppl don't realize the problem with their 360's.. ROD... is just overheating..rather than hardware failure.. because the paste has absorbed all the heat it could handle and is no longer worth a damn. as a last resort if you can't get MS to replace it.. find someone who is computer savvy and have them replace the cpu/gpu thermal paste with some arctic silver thermal paste.. i promise it'll work. ;) but like i said.. last resort.
open it up and replace the thermal paste :P or just continue to complain and complain. if you're with your parents still.. get them in on the moaning and complaining; generally works. good luck man, MS customer support is teh lame.
360 is very sensitive to the amount of power it takes in.. if you've ever plugged a nyco intercooler in without unplugging every chord to the xbox you'll see what i'm talking about.. you'll get the 3 red rings.. its because the xbox noticed the change in power.
this happens with certain surge protecters as well. i'm only restating things microsoft has mentioned in tech reports ^^
