  • LC: I have to disagree, they are loud at no point when playing games do I not hear the fans. Jet engine is obviously...
  • DavidGX: It’s a Falcon Elite.. other than that, I couldn’t say. Not nearly as quiet as the Wii, but...
  • LC: did yours comes special with magic or did you add that yourself? lol
  • DavidGX: It does.
