    @Faslane66: I do find the commenters here, and actually on a bunch of the Gawker media sites, to be much more civil to one another than at other sites. No idea how these communities developed better but I'm glad.

    Here's an idea, grow up and stop buying video game systems. Do something more constructive with your time.

    Some people waste their time playing video games, and some people waste their time trolling. We don't all have to have the same hobbies. Of course I hope your hobby gets you banned from Giz.

    @Kinglish: well this seems like a good time to ask someone since we are talking about it. If the xbox is 12AMP, and my tv is say 2AMP (im making htis up i dont know) and my receiver is 4AMP and my sub is 2AMP. im at 20AMPS, plus everything else on that circuit (another 3-4 outlets), i am way over my 15AMP breaker limit. or are there other factors involved, is 12AMP from 12Volt less than 12AMP from 120Volt?

    @Bailen: You shouldn't consider the 12AMP rating on the Xbox. Instead, read the rating on the power supply.

    The Jasper XBoxes have The LITE-ON drive which can't be modded. So obviously the Falcon is a better choice.

    @omegaviper: Maybe he doesn't need/want a modded XBOX because he's not a "lowlife, dirty, theiving [sic] pirate." If you want a game, get a job and buy it. You don't need every game ever made, nor do you have any special right to it.


    Don't be a douche.

    They still need to shrink the GPU, not just the CPU.

    Just so I'm clear, is there any performance benefit other than the heat transfer? I just got a 360 as a gift and didn't think to check before opening...

    @mikethegrate: Not red-ringing from overheating is a pretty major performance benefit.


    I don't think you can ask for any performance benefit bigger than "not overheating from a design and manufacturing defect and being required to be sent in for repairs".
