From what i have heard, the inter cooler is great...i have yet to look into one for myself, but i may do so. Thanks Germ, i actually was prepared for a more hostile reaction to my comment.

I trust you see the irony in this statement. “And it sounds like they do have a way to remotely scan it, so don’t try to be sneaky.”

The bottom line is, they HAVE to ban people who mod. If you wish to not be banned, leave it stock, keep it in a cool area, put a box fan near it if you wish...but opening your console and modding it will get you banned, as it should.

Which is a three fan setup that plugs into the back of your Xbox 360 for about $19.99. It sucks the heat out real efficiently. Keeps my box cool. And you can buy it at most retail outlets. So whats the problem here anyway. All you have to do is get an intercooler fan. Which is a three fan setup that plugs into the back of your Xbox 360 for about $19.99.

If you don’t like how a company supports their product, THEN DON’T BUY IT! It really is that simple, I mean common, if you’re going to read reviews as well as see that other people are having issues with a certain product, then why on earth are you going to buy it? And if you did buy it first off and are having these problems, don’t sit on the internet and whine about how the company sucks, get off your lazy butt and do something about it!

I´m on my second xbox and this time i build my own external cooling device that keep the it fresh even knowing that this one has the falcon mobo. i´m really impressed with sony improvement on the 40gb model, i let the console running for 2 days playing and downloading stuffs and it was less warm then the xbox on the dashboard after while. I just wonder the day that they will start ban people that watch those hd-dvds p0rn on xbox and give allegations that live don´t allow perverts. LOL !!!
