Finally got my 360 yesterday ive being waiting for about 4 months on the store to get a new shipment and i finally got it!
-
fyi... stores get shipments, usually 1 time everyweek or 1 time everyother week, so they problly lied to you like best buy lied about ipod touch
but with that finished, nice, you gonna mod it or keep it good for gaming? 9xbox live that is)
-
Why didnt you go to anyother store? And what do you mean when you said bestbuy lied about ipod touch?
-
now hope it doesn't red ring because thats another month to wait LOL
-
whats the red ring?
-
red ring of death is when the the xbox overheats and the solder points on the cpu melt off or something u get a error with three red lights im not modding this one im gonna buy a used one off my friend for 50$ bucks.... yes for 50$ and the funny thing about it it works in great condition he just doesn't want it anymore
-
It's when the 360's plastic motherboard gets so hot it actually bends/warps and it pops the soldered points out of the circuits, causing it to break
-
thats crazy hopes it does not happen to me! inst there position where if u leave it in that position it tends to catch the rrod faster

^ I doubt it but you should get the 3 fan intercooler from nyko, it keeps the 360 way cooler than usual...
-
so it works good

NEVER get the intercooler, they do more harm than good...

Game World Industries contacted a couple different Microsoft customer service representatives to talk about the issue, both reps stated that the Intercooler causes problems for the Xbox 360. The first representatives stated that Nyko’s Intercooler drains too much power from the Xbox 360, which was manufactured with enough power to support only itself. The Intercooler drains a large amount of power when the console starts up, which causes certain components to not get the power they need to run correctly, which can then lead to the death of the console. The second rep stated that they had seen “scorch marks†on the console from the Intercooler - probably just dust. If you send in your Xbox 360 and these scorch marks are present, Microsoft will send you your console back untouched (The Intercooler is not a licensed Microsoft product). They did, however, recommend switching to Pelican’s fan stand, which connects to the console via USB.
When Aaron, from Gaming World Industries, bought the Intercooler himself to test out the product, it only worked for 2 months before it killed his Xbox 360.

The only ones that do any good are the ones that act like a base for your 360. Another words you set your 360 upright then it blows air from the bottom up
p.s. here is one on ebay I found.
