My 360 sounds like a jet engine! If they figured out a way to make it quieter, then that' s definitely a GOOD thing.

It' s so loud because it uses cheap parts. MS is already losing money on every unit sold, so what would be the incentive of using laptop parts (or proprietary hardware) that costs so much more? Would more people buy 360s if they were quieter? I doubt it. So the cost would probably just be passed on to the end user.

Now, the question becomes:

How many people would but a more expensive (say, $600) 360 if it were silent and smaller?

I would, just because I like " Special Editions" , y' know. But would the average consumer?

I' m a fan of special edition stuff too! (I still want a black NFL series Dreamcast!)


I' d only buy a special edition 360 if it was definitely smaller, like as small as the
HD-DVD drive they are bringing out.

With regards to the noise of the 360, I only notice it when I just turn it on. After
that, it kind of hides behind all the background noises (gunshots, women
screaming, you know...).

My Dreamcast wins awards for being the loudest console ever, I mean it' s so loud
that when it' s loading up new things in RPG' s, it actually warns me when a fight
is coming. Many a battle has been avoided because of that!

Judging by play.com, Tiz you' re in for a great time on the way to Christmas. Every second game for 360 is coming out in an ordinary and a " Limited Edition" tin case. Limited like, limited to 3 billion copies

I' m a sukker for tinned games too though

I hope Sonic The Hedgehog has Ltd edition case, with a making of supplementary
dick. That way if the game sucks, I' ll make a " Kill Bill" style list of all the
developers that took it upon themselves to add such drivel to the game.



Give me a LTD edition GoW anyday, with a bloody chainsaw on the front, and a
head helplessly rotating in the saw' s teeth!

They should make it like the " Saw: Uncut Edition" .



I have that edition, and that' s actual liquid inside the cover that simulates blood, and a little circular saw that floats around! Cool!
