Thought a plane was going to crash on my house....so loud...then I realised it was the xbox.

Is this normal or is mine about to explode?
Game music is quite loud so it sometimes drowns it out but if you were using it to watch a DVD it would ruin the film.

Gears of War is awesome tho 8)

you should hear the PS3 developer kit - it's like having a wind machine on your desk.

You certainly cant use it as a home entertainment system, wouldn't want to watch movies on it unless it was very remote

GoW is first class have you played on line yet?

General comment whats your gamertags, or has this been done before?

my tag is max1966, funnily enough, so feel free to send a friends request

Just played it last night for 10 mins....pretty much died right away.
How about PGR3? I'm not bad at that...we could play that online?

GOW rocks! Getting quite far.
Problem so far is if you go in the dark these bats eat you. I tell this soldier to stand still in the light but he follows me into the dark and gets mauled and I fail the mission...it's serious stuff!! :D

Tried to get Xbox live working last night using my 1 months trial but it's not accepting my redeem voucher/promotion code :(

;) ohhh ours are black! but bloody noisy!

interestingly when my 360 is inside the TV cabinet which is in no way sealed at the front and completely open at the back the noise vanishes!
