Quote from danowat :

The noise is my biggest issue with the 360, the PS3 is whisper quiet, while the 360 (I have a jasper) sounds like a 747 taking off!!!!.

At least with a 250GB HDD you can install games to the HDD and stop some of the noise

yeah, but once you're "in" the game i don't really notice it, i bought an extra fan for my ps3 (rumours of overheating issues), and even with that i don't really notice it unless i actually think about it. should be fine, especially if i turn up the volume

also, does anyone know if the 360 comes with a warranty?

Quote from danowat :

Jasper didn't "fix" it, but it got a whole lot better, the slim cured it completely (apparently).

well i think i'll stick with what i got, with a ps3 and 360 and soon a 37" hd tv in the living room i'm sure the fan noise will be the least of my worries

Talk about pathetic and lazy writing. Tanner's in a coma, doesn't realise it, thinks he has super-powers. That's going to absorb you into the world isn't it? Monumental cock-up.

ashes to ashes or life on mars anyone?

Quote from danowat :

Personally, I'd say yes, mainly because of this, but yours obviously isn't a cut and dry situation.

Bottomline, the elite isn't a "bad" console.

i thought the jasper consoles fixed that problem? isn't he just saying any console built in the last couple of years is unlikely to have this problem (including mine)?

anyone else have C3 today? i didn't think it went great but went better than i expected.

3 days then this ordeal is over for another year (almost exactly A MONTH between my first and last exams!!)

Quote from DevilDare :

Well there you go. You answered your own question...

phew, thanks

this is the story of my life...a few years back my mp3 player got stolen, and instead of telling my mum and getting her all pissed at me, i went to argos and bought another one with my hard earned cash. a month later and it was half price

thanks for letting me convince myself here i'll add u when i'm on live

Quote from danowat :

The major differences are......

Quieter
Cooler running, One large more efficient fan rather than two small ones, 45 nanometer and integrated CPU and GPU, supposedly RROD proof
250GB HDD
Built in Wireless N
Dedicated Kinect port
5 USB ports

If I were you, I'd cancel the elite and wait for the slim.

the thing is, it's bloody aweful situation i'm in now. i asked for it for my birthday, and then a couple of days after this thing shows up. i really think it'll upset my mum if i ask her to send it back now, so is it really so much better that it's really worth the hassle of sending it back? i don't really care if its a little bit louder, i'm already getting the wireless adapter, the one i'm getting has a 250GB HDD, kinect comes with an adapter for older 360s anyway, and i don't really think i need 5 USB ports

anyone come across a "360 super elite vs slim" page or something, i'm tearing my hair out about and really need reassurance that the super elite i ordered 3 days ago isn't any worse (apart from built in wifi) than the slim

i'm not an expert but i'd say firefox.

used chrome and it crashed ALOT, never tried opera but don't think its all that amazing and internet explorer has had its issues in the past, like being really easy to hack etc.

so yeah i'd go for firefox

Quote from trebor901 :

cable is best bet, the wireless dongles are rubbish especially the newest N version (the black one)

y is it rubbish? (i'm getting it for my birthday )

Quote from DevilDare :

It is. Its just smaller, better looking (Some will agree...) has built in WiFi, built in 250GB HDD and Kinect ready. Nothing more it looks like.

thanks man, was getting very stressed. so getting this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super- ... qid=1276548577&sr=8-1), i'm not missing out at all? (apart from looks, but i don't really care about that tbh

Quote from brandons48 :

Is this the new re-designed one?

I like the new one, i'll get one and forza if my PS3 decides to mess me up.

(3 years and going strong!)

nope, i found out today there's now a new one, released 3 days after i bought the old one. fml. if it turns out to be much better than this i might send this back to amazon, but as far as i can tell the new one just looks different and has built in wifi. if that's the case i'll stick with this

Quote from DevilDare :

And ofcourse, something everyone probably already knew, the new Xbox 360.

OH COCK! just my luck, i ordered a super elite like 3 days ago

can someone please reassure me that this new one is no different and i have no reason to worry...pleeeease

Quote from Jordan2007 :

Pretty hard to get used to, got one from Sainsburys. I don't know how they can do it all match. My cheeks are burning!

u can get them in sainsburies!?!? i went on ebay, there's i sainsburies about 2 mins walk away how much was it?

yeah i've seen quite i few people flop when trying to do it on tv

HELP! i've been revising C3 and C4 all day and i'm beside myself with boredom, i literally don't know what to do with myself

Quote from Jordan2007 :

I Just bought one.

what's the "release date" supposed to be at the moment then?

Quote from Seb66 :

Did maths GCSE today, was easy.. Got to the last page with an hour to go and then took my sweet ass time checking over stuff like 4 times

love it when that happens..won't happen too much next year i bet, although in my C2 i had like 45 mins left than spent like 1/2 an hour on the final 3 mark question (still got it wrong), but apparently it was a really simple one. saw other peoples pages and they'd all done like 2 pages of working for it so it wasn't just me

Quote from DevilDare :

Richard Burns Rally

Then you download RSRBR10

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Richar ... qid=1276278514&sr=1-1 this one? (just checking)

Quote from brandons48 :

PC and Xbox?

Pfft... fckin' microsoft.

huh?

anyways, looks good to me, might have to buy it depending on price.

felt so sorry for S.A. i was so emotional when the first goal was scored and the commentator went crazy i wasn't expecting to feel like that

its finally here!!!!!!!

ok, so which actual game do i buy (amazon link please?), and then what addon do i download?

thanks

are beards a team requirement? also does anyone know when the season starts next year? (gonna get ESPN, so hope to get into it next year)

well had C2 and physics unit 2 today. C2 was piss easy (as i expected), think i maybe lost 5 marks tops (i hope). physics wasn't as bad as i though, i was bricking it before the exam, but i think everything i said just about made sense, hope to get a decent grade. oh the joys of further maths, exams finish on the 18th, like a week and a half after everyone elses.
