V sucked major ass and Keira Knightley' s unfathomed beauty couldn' t save if from being dire!

There are some comic that shouldn' t be made into movies, and some that need to be given to the right director if they do decide to make a film version. I think Del Toro would have done a much better job, hell, even Steven Norrington would have done better.

Films like Daredevil and Electra shouldn' t get made whatsoever. Even the comics were rubbish!

Rampage :)

I didn' t like it - I loved it.

I can' t say much about the comic though ,I haven' t seen it.

Oh and that modded 360 was sold for about 10 000 $ on ebay , it had custom 60 gb HDD and some other mods.

People complain about garbage that doesn' t matter.
They said the PS2 was too loud to watch DVDs
but you can bearly here it if at all
what were thay watching so quietly?

And if I get a 360 I guess I' ll wait for the new models.

Porn probably, but i don' t remember it being loud at all. Dreamcast was really loud, but you hardly noticed it when playing Daytona USA.

Maybe it' s americans just being picky or maybe their batch of 360' s are loud. Cos one of the first things one of my friends commented on was how quiet it was..you hardly notice it' s on.

Hmm that' s strange ...maybe not all of them are loud , but that fan noise was a big issue few weeks after launch - people did notice it' s louder than avarage -it was all over the web (1UP,IGN).

I guess it depends on what" loud" means to you :)

I understand why someone thinks that' s being picky , but the thing is - Consoles should be small.beautiful and subtle devices that give you the kind of royal (couch,big TV,5.1 speakers,controller) gaming experience comparing to your typical PC gaming experience.

DC was the first console to use a fan , but I didn' t hear it while playing games.Xbox had it louder than that - I could hear the fan going while playing some games

Yeah maybe your definiton of loud does come into it. Saying that though iv' e always been lucky with consoles I spill water on them (i' m unlucky with water) and they still work I dropped my nintendo goodness knows how many times and it still works but I think my 360' s really quiet and strangly enough i wouldn' t have minded a loud fan though I think it' s kinda sootheing (ok maybe i' m weird).

Lol ..yeah but I read somewhere that babies fall asleep to sounds like the hoover (vaccum cleaner)...washing machine or air vent so that' s even weirder...*weirdo babies*. By the way I wanted to take off the whole shell for my 360 and reconfigure it cos I don' t like just changing the face plate so would I be able to buy the back part from somewhere or would I have to design it myself?.

If anyone kows...

Some company might come up with entire shells for replacement , but for now you need to do it yourself :)

Oh and about those strange people - I know one - my girl loves the sound of a vaccum cleaner - she falls asleep instantly - it is the single most fuckin weird thing I' ve heard.

The problem is that PC fan noise isn' t working like that at all , so maybe MS wanted to make it loud to please some consumers :)

Why in the hell are people playing 360 games with the sound turned all the way down, just so that they can hear the fan going and then complain about it? I don' t know about you, but when I am playing my 360 Ihave the volume turned up pretty loud and therefore I can' t even hear the fan on the 360. Want to lessen the fan noise, then hear' s a good idea, DON' T PLAY YOUR GAMES WITH THE SOUND TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THAT WAY YOU WON' T HAVE ANYTHING TO BITCH ABOUT.

If you have the sound on at all you shouldn' t even hear because you' d be concentrating on the game unless people have the 360 on their heads or something...I mean c' mon get a wireless controllerand sit away from it (sometimes I even go all the way to the kitchen and play just to test the range and it' s fun). *@ gangsta* lol that is funny and weird...but funny still.
