Im going to be getting a few new games as well; GTA4, Gears 2 and COD4 possibly COD5(not sure witch one is better)

Also im going to buy an intercooler to help prevent the rrod. Ive looked up a few inter cooler and i think im going with the Nyko intercooler EX. What do you guys think about it? im open to suggestions about another intercoolers.
-
Yep vans, Halo 3 and COD4/COD5 have to be the must multi player first person shooter games xbox has to offer.

Ya, i may hold off on GTA4 and get halo 3.

COD4 > COD5

ive heard not to get the nyko inter cooler because it sucks power from the xbox and can lead to worse problems, just make shure to put it in a place where it can ventilate itself nicely XBL - Matad0r0 COD4-5

The EX is the more newer and better intercooler from what Ive seen and read. I think what your referring too is if you use more then one power strip. At least thats what i was reading about. The intercooler as well as having it flat and in an area where it's not dusty and in an open are there should be no problem with it. I may just go talk to the local geek squad at best buy. They may know somthing about it.

In order for the 360 to have a DVD drive(i think) they shrunk the heat rods witch absorb the hear so it dose not over heat the system. Witch caused the rrod(red rings of death). So if you want your 360 to run cool and not melt an intercooler is the way to go. The PS3 dose not have this problem FYI it's only $400. :lol

I don't understand how Microsoft could sell a console that requires aftermarket parts to make it run reliably. That's insane.

You really don't if you have good ventilation, it's also best to keep the 360 on its side to help with the heating issues.

Never, ever ask the Geek Squad anything related to computers, electronics or consoles as they don't know crap about anything. The only thing they are good at is asking how to put up web cam to spy on people, since they seem to be very good at doing that.
As for the Nyko, the Intercooler EX sucks. Our internal QA department found that the best cooling solution was to put a small fan behind the Xbox 360 and turn it on.

Thanks Ack-ack. The fan blowing into the xbox?

Think he means just blowing on the xbox itself to help circulate the air. My xbox is in the living room, and I keep it nice and cold in there so I don't ever have any issues with heat on it. On a related note. I'm now playing Cod5. We should get a group together and go in as a party tonight.

You Xbox n00bs, PS3 FTW!!! :D
But seriously, the 360 is a great system if you can deall with its infamous high failure rate. I personally think the PS3 is better, not becuase it has better graphics, better games, or any of that nonsense ('cause the 360 has some nice things about it that the PS3 doesn't have...yet ;) ). I think it's better because you get it for, what, $400-$600 now? And that comes with Blue-ray, ability to put music on it, and free internet/online access! The 360 is cheaper, but you have to buy all these different attachments to do the same.
-
One of big things Xbox has going for it is its Live service, I've never owned a playstation so I dont know how their online service is compared to Live. But I've always been impressed with the simplicity of Live.
-
Im hoping to be getting it here in the next month or so. But i do have some more questions. Should i buy the wireless adapter to play on x-box live? And is there any way to find out if i can get online with the wireless adapter where i live?I have a modem but i dont have a router and i dont really want to buy one.
Thanks in advanced for the help.
-
no router=no wireless. I've had my 360 for almost 3 years now. I've only had to replace it once due to rrod. Im breaking bass pedals on rock band more often than rrod. Ack's right place it on its side with a cheap fan next to it you'l be fine. Anyone excited about this update in 3 days. Im going to be like hmmmmmm nextflix what do i feel like watching??????

I seen that online it dose look good. One more question for you guys if i may. Ive heard the newer xbox 360's released this year have had the RROD problem fixed. Is this true? can anyone confirm this. I feel if i call Game stop or Best Buy there just going to say yes to get an easy sale. I am how ever going to call the xbox customer support number see what i can find out from them.
Thanks to everyone for the help answering my questions and i will see ya'll on Xbox live. More then likely my call sign for xbox live is going to be VansCrew.

Get PS3 homo. Lets see... Online is free, Blu-Ray player, better controller, cooler looking. It's just all around a better system, oh yea and it doesn't randomly break.

Xbox360=50$ a year
who cares about blu-ray
they both have wireless controllers
no
The newer xbox's dont "break" they fixed the rrod. And besides if it dose happen to crap out i send it back in and get a new one.

yikes :uhoh
$50/ year isn't bad. Cheaper than 4 months of AHII.
Blu-Ray is pointless
I like the 360 controllers a lot better, my friends PS3 controllers always break while I've never had any trouble with any of my 360 controllers
Cooler looking, WOW! This is exactly what I look for when I purchase everything.
Most of those problems have been fixed and if they do break you get a new one for FREE!!

Yep, with the falcon in the new 360's(made since September 08) the rrod problem for the most part is fixed.

:rofl fanboy much?? It's pretty much a dead even match between the 360 and PS3 right noe, you really can't call one better than the other. I do think that in the future the PS3 will be said to be better than the 360, but who knows! I've only had my PS3 break once, we had an extended warranty on it so we got a new one free. It only broke because my sister would leave it on ALL night with a DVD in it (which can not be good for it, and she keep throwing crap ontop of it so it would over heat. I think the 360 has about the same failure rate as the PS3 now.

Anyone in a clan in COD4 or halo 3 that may let me in with them to learn the ropes. I think if im with a group of people that know what there doing i could learn it a lot faster.

My brother has a PS3 and hates it. <shrugs> Guess its just down to personal taste. I own a 360 and a PS3 myself, I play the Xbox more than the PS3 but I'm not an xbox fanboi either.

I got my Xbox 360 elite last night. I hope to be on xbox live sometime this week.
:rock :rock :rock

I've been on the fence since the inception of the 360. I already have a PS3, and love it. Sell me on the X-Box 360.
There's not many games I'm interested in that are purely X-Box titles. Left for Dead is the dead ringer, and Fable somewhat interests me. Any other titles worth mentioning? Exclude Halo and Gears of War.
-
I saw you mentioned getting an inter cooler for your Xbox, well I've been looking into water cooling for my PC and came across this, might interest you, kinda expensive though.

Fallout 3
'Nuff said.

Got it on the PS3. Like I said though, X-Box exclusive titles.

Only reason to buy a PS3 is for the BluRay.
360 is a gamers console.

Be careful with the robbing gits when it comes down to ending your xbox live account you have to call them to get billing stopped. will take about 15minutes talking to a machine then some indian who repeats everything you and they have said twice to extend the call!
how on earth will you have money to pay for it? and time for AH?
Me, kaz, smithy and malan had a laugh in our own GTA4 room in June but that lasts for about 1 session of running around shooting each other :lol. Cruising around leaning out of the same car shooting stuff up. Then yall get rocket launchered by some 12 year old spotty kid who is far better at it than us :lol
-
My X-Box was doing like 20FPS online. What a load of crap.
-
About the only reason I'd purchase a X-Box 360 at this point is for the expansion packs for Fallout 3, Left for Dead, and possibly Fable II.

Was a diehard PS dude, had every PS that came out, even that weird PS1 little white console thingy...
Then I played Dead Rising on the 360... Then Halo... and I haven't looked back.
No real reason to give it a chance other than the BluRay...
-
I just got a 360 for Christmas. Also got Dead Rising... that game is awesome :).
Other 360 only games I want to play are Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, Fable 2, and Gears / Gears 2. Of those, I'll probably only BUY Gears 2 and maybe one other FPS, just because all the guys at work have 360s and play together. The other games I can borrow lol.
I actually have the trifecta now... but I don't really play the Wii it is more for my wife.
The PS3 has some interesting games that are PS only as well - MLB 08: The Show is an outstanding baseball game, and there is Resistance/ R2 for FPS. I played Little Big Planet briefly and it seems fun, but there is no way I would buy it. My wife might find it more interesting but so far the only game she'll play on her own is MarioKart.
I actually prefer the PS controller, the Xbox one is clunky (although much less clunky that the original Xbox one).
