No, I meant why would you prefer the non Falcon board?

Maou · 2007.12.06, 01:30 PM

Haha, I didn't mean it like that. I'd prefer a Falcon, but my bad luck would have me getting the very last non-Falcon instead.

golem09 · 2007.12.06, 01:36 PM

Oh, now I understand^^

I think I'll take the risk. If I don't like the label on the package, I can still return it^^

If I read a nice 175W I'll be happy^^

EDIT:
Whoohoo!
I just called gamestop, and they accept VISA, too. Next Saturday or Monday, I'll have my Elite!

Haha, I got some luck. The first Elite I found in my nearest gamestop was a Falcon.
And so far Mass Effect is one hell of a game. I'm glad that I read the book before I started playing, that way I already knew most things about the universe and the Anderson-Saren-Geth conflict.

So the Xbox 360 punk'd me today. I go to turn it on to play some b-ball after a rough day at work, and there is something different. The ring is not green, it's red. So I turn it off and then on, and it starts working again. >_<. I wasn't too shocked at first because I know its going to happen eventually, but wtf? It's only been 3 weeks and my brothers are expecting some games for Christmas so it would have sucked for them.

Was the whole ring red? That means the AV cable is loose. 3 lights = hardware error.

HEDOfloe · 2007.12.22, 06:57 PM

hmm, hard to remember now, but I'm sure most of it was red because the image on the screen said to call microsoft about it.

Inaudible-Whisper · 2007.12.22, 08:11 PM

Hmm. Don't think it's the AV cable thing then, but it doesn't sound like the red ring of death which usually leaves nothing on the screen, and no sound from the machine... just the lights. I've had my 360 since launch and had my first breakdown only in the last month or so but I've since upgraded to a falcon Elite so hopefully it should be my first and last.

And remember to keep the power brick well ventilated, not just the console. The amount of people I've seen with their power supply sitting on a carpet is ridiculous. Well... 3 people.

What is the Falcon Elite?

Inaudible-Whisper · 2007.12.23, 08:58 AM

An Elite (Black 360 with 120gb HDD) with a Falcon motherboard (Newer board which takes less power, produces less heat and is less vulnerable to hardware problems).
