Advantages: Cools down the Console and Prevents Overheating Disadvantages: Increased noise levels due to more fans cooling it down
For me one of the XboX 360s main problems and a problem for millions of other people around the world have a problem with OVERHEATING.
If you do not play your Xbox 360 for long periods for time (8 hours+) or your Xbox 360 is placed i the ideal place (well aired open area), you may not have encountered this problem but if you do it can become a major, irritating problem espeacially when your storming through, elder scrolls - oblivion, and it does a 'burnout' on you.
THE SOLUTION
A gadget called the 'Nyko Intercooler 360' which was released at the end of march 06. This is an extension that clips onto the back of the console and improves the ventalation of the console.
The 'Nyko Intercooler 360' increases air flow. You wil quickly notice how this device prevents you XboX 360 from crashing. The internal Xbox 360 fan, which gets ...
Advantages: None unless you want to shell out for a new XBox360 Disadvantages: Give your money to a tramp - it will make you feel better.
Although many of you will think this is the right solution to keep your xbox 360 cool, think again. Having owned the Nycko and the Cooler king you can learn by my mistakes - these fans do nothing more than add extra bulk to your Xbox360 without actually doing any more and could potentially invalidate your warranty as this is an unsupported device from a third party.
These fans put additonal strain on your PSU and do not take any extra air out of your Xbox. Worse still they actually can cause additional power problems as they do not fit properly. The noise they create sounds like they are doing a job but if you put a fan on a fan, will it really do anything more for you? No.
This is not just limited to this fan, the Cooler King is exactly the same although it does offer extra connectivity, however that is not the reason you buy it ...
Advantages: Cheaper setup than PS3, better pad, best game selection, xbox live is amazing Disadvantages: Paying for xbox live (after 3years of live, a PS3 works out cheaper), can be noisey, Wi-Fi is extr
Ok, here's a quick run down of my thoughts on the 360, probably throw in a few comparisons with the PS3, won't bother too much with the Wii since it's not really what I would class as a serious games machine, good fun in short spells or with "non-gamers" but that's about it.
Had the 360 for a couple of years now, I was seduced by Halo 3 having been addicted to the first 2 games on the original, I'm a little bit of a FPS nut so I'm well covered with the 360 as that seems to be the systems main genre as it was with the original. It's probably been the most fun system I've owned since the dreamcast (class machine, sorely missed) or the mega drive (Genisis for anyone on the wrong side of the Atlantic).
Main reasons for going with the 360? ok, it's initially cheaper to buy in the short term (works out more expensive over time with xbox ...
