Or those coolant things so your 360 doesn't overheat! /goes back to ign.com and drools over zelda in all it's non HD but still amazing graphical glory
First, I refuse to participate in the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray fight. I have plenty of DVDs right now and they are heads and tails above their predecessor, the VHS tape. I don't see the need or the point to go get a next-gen format player. When a victor is declared, I'll consider getting one. Till then, even MS isn't getting me to buy an HD-DVD drive.
Second, YOU DON"T FUCKING NEED A COOLING DEVICE FOR YOUR XBOX 360!!! Yet again, it is a perfect example of a couple companies capitalizing off of consumer fears. The sad thing (and I mean very sad) is that people actually believe the 360 suffers from overheating problems. Seriously, if your 360 is overheating then it is faulty and needs repaired. Yes, the console does run at some really high temperatures, but you will know if it is overheating (3 Red Lights of Doom).
Third, if you think the 360 overheats then wait until the PS3 comes out. I read that the PS3 uses up to 380 watts at maximum use. The 360 I think uses something like 160 watts or somewhere around there. When you start using that much electricity, you're going to generate some serious heat at some point.
True story. I managed to trip the breaker for my bedroom earlier this year while playing my Xbox 360. Apparently, when I had my computer, laptop, mini-fridge, Xbox 360, 30 inch HDTV, and 400 watt surround sound system all running off the same breaker at the same time, I was using too much juice. Actually, I managed to run all of them till I cranked my surround sound up to about setting 40. Now, taking that all into consideration, imagine how easily I could trip the breaker with a PS3! I'd probably be able to turn my TV, surround sound, and the PS3 on and that would be it. lol No. I am not getting a PS3.
