Author Topic: Question about XBOX360 ELITE (Read 5357 times)

I want to ask if any of you currently own an XBOX360 ELITE, and if it has one or two cooling fans installed?

That is all I want to ask. I can´t get the answer from either EB Games or the internet! There has been this over heating issue with the existing XBOX360 and therefore I find it usefull if Microsoft added an extra fan to solve the problem. If thhey haven´t done that I will buy a pimped XBOX360 to get at the overheating problem which I believe has something to do with the Ring of Death issue.

When you say pimped to you mean like water cooler pimped with multicolor lights?

Come on Micro$oft, please pimp my 360! [/useless post]

Ceric: Yes, except for the watercooling. There is 3 coolingfans, and then lights in whatever casing you want it.
I think you can find something on it in Google.

Here is something to keep in mind (A quote from MS):

I believe all 360 has 1 fan assembly with 2 fans in that assembly, to help heating issues microsoft installed another heatsink, if your 360 is in for repairs then they will install a 2nd heatsink. Gamebasher if your in the market of a 360 then theres leaked images of a holiday bundle in both the pro and elite models that have forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance included.

Edit: Heres how they look like and all new produced 360 models do have HDMI ports.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a fun game if you like the Marvel universe.

It smells like Bigfoot's dick. Here's an FYI = the "Premium" Xbox 360 now includes HDMI, and the core may get it soon as well (they have to sell out of the old, non-HDMI units that they put in the "Core" boxes for this to happen).

Kairon · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2007, 06:45:37 PM »

So with the addition of HDMI to premium, and taking the recent price cuts into account, the Elite will cost $100 more for 100 GB more hard drive space. Period?

matt oz · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2007, 06:14:09 AM »

I think the Elite actually comes with the HDMI cable, whereas the Premium doesn't. That may be worth something to someone.

Kairon · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2007, 07:54:09 AM »

ouch. Don't HDMI cables go for $60 and up when sold seperately? If so, I guess that makes sense...kinda...

I bought a 3 foot HDMI cable for $20 CAD, for $60 US you can probably get a 15 foot HDMI cable which is probably not likely to be the case of coming in the elite package.

On a random side note, I just looked at the boxes . . . who the hell thought up the tag lines?

"Go Pro"

"Go Big".

Go to monoprice.com or eBay when buying HDMI cables - they are all EXACTLY the same (as long as your comparing the same length of cable), because digital = digital, and you should never pay more than say $15 US for a 6ft cable.

I guess there are some people who worry about shielding though. *shrug*

Caliban · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2007, 05:38:43 AM »

Shielding is for hypochondriacs.
