I have received the elite at work! only 2.5 more hours....come on...come on. Um the external fans that go in the back really dont help at all. The internal fans either need to be replaced or fans added to the other vents are the only ways to help air flow. I will make a xbox holder with fans built in and show you guys.

ive seen some on ebay that are different. couple vertical stand ones.I want one that can "REALLY" keep it cool with it still on the side.North... ill be on like at 8 my time.Better have it hooked up and ready... and get me a request with your gamertag.*i played shadowrun more last night. and its really hard to kill the AI bots... bullets spray everywhere and hard to take them down while moving. games cool and all, but i dont think ill get it.

UHHH super lame. maybe it only comes out when I plug my xbox in? hahha. I got my laptop and xbox today! niceeee it was like xmas in my office for me. RSV tonight? lets do it

maybe, i should be on later though. i gotta eat then go to Tmobile to look at getting a sidekick for text/net service. then ill be home... i think the wifey gettin huffy bout bein on it all the time... HEHE. I R6V

haha rizzle. last night was messed up, my friends internet kept resetting. It does that but usually not more than twice a night. Otherwise it was fun, hahha I love drinking and playing online. We should play a diff game coop sometime...when you get some time

Sure man... i have crackdown or GOW. we can try those.Ill be on tonight bout 11 or so my time.tomorrow ill be on prolly night time. maybe during the day. not sure.

dang 11 your time is like 1am my time. If I can stay up that late Ill see you on the internetz

yeah i work alot today... sorry buddy.Tomorrow ill be on for sure.

hahha no prob, just giving you a hard time, Its just weird being 2 hours diff. Cuz Im up past 11 a lot but your 11 is my 1am...dang you time!! Tonight I will have in my possesion, gowrsvforza 2 dirtso we could do some gow or rsv, my friend apex6 likes rsv too, i may be at his house for part of the night...we both might be one actually..well if he buys the game..

ya i gotta get a new headset..the ****ty one they give u with the system doesnt even work and it's to late to exhange it..so i'll have to get the wireless one soon and maybe get another game..

I used the wired one only when my wireless ones charging. i usually get a weeks worth of gamin outta the wireless one. then i use the wired one here and there. it works ok. so it helps here and there.Im waiting for halo 3/ unreal 3/ GH3/ COD4/ Army of 2. WOW! thats a lot of games.. haha.

ya..i dont usually play alot of online gaming..only game i played online 24/7 was socom!

yeah that stock headset really doesnt fit on my head well. specially since I have glasses it pushes on them and hurts even more. But the wireless one is so expensive! rizzle you should add rock band on to that list redfire did you see the movie/screens of socom 4? (removed) I cant wait for that game!

6x60= $360 for all those games... xcept halos gonna be like 130! eek. no more games! must get Si! haha

130 for halo 3? hahha I just got the $60 one, I dont need things to collect and take up room in my video game storage thing

LOL... yeah impulse buying! haha.I got a special spot for it. : )I just wish all these awesome games would come out already!

I read all of these posts, and I have just one thing to say: I won a Nintendo Wii, and don't particularly want a 360, so screw you guys, I'm going home!

ya i saw the videos and screenshots of socom 4..reminds me of GOW abit

"GET HIM" haha.I my 360. thats all that matters.NORTH: i got the cam and made my own face for R6V today. got 30 ach. points and one bad MOFO to play with. haha

I saw the camera today, for like 30 or 40 bucks. I did find the wireless controllers on sale for 39.99 and bought a black one. Rizzle let me borrow that camera for a day I just need to scan my face in...Oh and HoosierMan619 dont be hate'n yo, I have a wii too and x360 and soon a ps3

ya'll need to try the game demo "The Outfit" its fun multiplayer!

OUTFIT??? ill look into that one today.My bro made a face for his too.. its funny to see others faces on the game.I just wish you could make the face so it opens its mouth when you talk.I might be on tonight but at 1030 PM my time. but not sure.

... in response to northvibe's post about the wirelelss headset...DO NOT GET THE WIRELESS HEADSET!!! I can't be any more clear than that. I bought it when it first came out, because the stock headset didn't fit me very well either, and it was horrible! I took it back after a few days of thurough testing. Every time I used it, there was a lot of static and it would echo to other people as well. I was playing a lot of Texas Hold'em at the time and I would get kicked out of rooms because everyone could just hear static and couldn't hear me talking. Same thing happened on GOW, it sucked! It's really expensive and it really sucks.On a more upbeat note, new colored controllers coming out (blue and pink) and the Instant Messenger keyboard that connects to your controller (also comes with another stock headset) and the Halo3 limited ed. 360 (green with orange highlights and controller with a custom paint job from Todd McFarlane (Spawn comics, he's also doing action figures for Halo3 as well). Now that I'm out of breath... I'm done.

Hmm I'll prolly just use the stock elite, black custom headset. Its just not the best fit, the ps2 one fit better. I just plugged in my Mac usb keyboard and it worked typing messages! Man that makes it so much easier. I'll save my money and use the keyboard instead of that controller keybpad. But those other colored controllers are cool, but odd colors... I just picked up another black controller on sale at circuit city for 10 bucks off , wireless too. someone on RSV said that they had a bluetooth adapter for the xbox controller so they could use any bluetooth headset, I may look into that as I need a BT headset for my cell phone.Rizzle I'll be on RSV tonight but dont know how late as I have to wake up at 6am for work tomorrow

i have the Wireless headset. it only gave me probs on Halo 3 beta. but alot of people had that prob.Mine works fine just dies fairly quickly if used for a long time, but usually works for a week for me, before i need to charge it.Ima get the txt pad, cuz i dont wanna keybord. too big and cluttersome.Gosh... i want halo 3!!!!

Mike, tell your time to slow down so when your on its not 1am here I talked to redfire yesterday and he said he wants some games too... I cant wait for some of these new ones...dang I hate waiting. My crackdown should be arriving this week I hope so we can play that and gow as well...

Anyone had one "brick" yet?I had the "ring of death" and they are swapping it out on the new 3 year warranty.

two of my friends have. one lasted 1 yr and 1 lasted 3 weeks from purchase. The hardware design is just horrid. But they have supposidly redesigned the board and gpu so it "should" be better. They also added on a 2nd heat sink to the gpu heatsink. I my self am ordering some fans to make a custom cooling kit for mine....the air flow out of the back of the x360 is sooooo weak.

Yeah... i just played crackdown the other night and cought up on skills. haha.I have had my other xbox for 9 months and used it off and on and its still good. *crosses fingers**north your times 2 hours too fast... you slow down!!! : )

ya i find the system heats up alot..they got this 3rd party cooling device that you attatch to the back of the console where the power adapter plug would go..it has 3 fans..but i dont know how good it works..i've never liked 3rd party accessories..i think the company was nyko or something along the lines

nyko sells the best one but those ones still dont do a very good job. The ones that will really go a good job are custom ones that use a 12v fan like the ones in your pc case or custom generic fans. Ones from 3rd party accessories use cheap fans like the ones already IN the xbox..they wont move real air... hence my reasoning behind making my own. I will do the project soon.....just need to find the right fans...

If you get PC fan(s) could you use that and make like a box/stand to hold it. would that help or what would be the best spot to cool it?I wanted to buy a desk fan and put it near the xbox

I should draw a pic tomorrow for you guys, but 2-3 80mm? fans on the opposide side of hdd blowing in. 2 80mm on the back infront of the stock ones blowing out aka sucking the air out. If possible have the xbox lifted a couple inches and some small fans blowing the bottom of the case to keep that cool. There isl also room for 1 60-80mm fan next to the hdd to blow in. I can draw this up...i should take measurements too... dang this time i waste all day!

Yeah i might go look tomorrow and see what i can do. i can find something to lift it.Lets see that diagram

well dang yo, let me sleep and tomorrow after work...or after a date (fingers crossed) Ill draw one up for ya. nighty night time for me...

whats his name??? haha! Yeah ima do some shopping and see what i can come up with.

I bought a Nyko Intercooler, but i got a voltage error.....so i put it back in the box and thats that..........

never trusted that one.. like the new one target is carryin but not sure how good.

hahha rizzle....ill send the pic to anyone but you hahha

LOL... so wheres that diagram? im go browsing our local electronics store for some ideas.that outfit game looks like a bad COD3...

Im at work rizzle dizzle. did you play the outfit though? its like a squad based Mercenaries. IDK its sorta fun to play, not one of those great games you'd run out and buy the day it was out. I may have a few min here lets see what paint in winblows can do

i have autocad.. so i can get a cool looking diagram with pos./neg. and blues to reds and connectors and fuses..... ok too much brain activity. i might overload. haha.Dude you gotta join our (SPH) group too...were seeing if we can get our normal group of players to become a team. then play some team sharpshooter matches.
