Team Xtender are set to continue their Xbox 360 cooling quest by developing a new high speed cooler for the console. The new cooler will plug directly into your Xbox 360 via one of the USB ports, keeping you abreast of the current temperature at all times; with LEF lights flashing away like madmen should anything be happening that shouldn't.

1 - why?
Unregistered - malachi22 05.20.2006 12:49
Why do they continue to make these coolers when it isn't needed?.
The 360 getting overheated was just a load of crap brought about by the POS3 fanboi's.

My 360 doesn't even get warm enough to melt ice....well maybe it does, but it hardly get's warm atall.

I agree- why do they keep making coolers?! My xbox is kept in my TV stand, next to my pc monitor with about one inch of space around it, i play all day, bout the system in december and it has NEVER had ANY problems with overheating.

They need to quit making these as they are unecessary and perpetuate a myth about the 360's overheating.

Oh and in my opinion, a new cooler isn't news.

"G A M E R" means one who plays games even in the video game biz ,only game freaks and nerds joystick trolls changed the meaning if you like games your an fanboy period. please stop spreading these lies we have enough idiots in the world as it is, if you like all three systems it means your a hard core gamer and if you like one console your are still a real gamer b/c you play games.Real gamer is a phrase thats used by the hard core to make their hardcore life style seem important. Come on people what are you eight!?

I dont understand, about people saying that the 360 gets hot or over heats, i mean i had mine since launch and never ever had it get hot or overheat and i play it for hours on in just like i do my ps2. If they do overheat im glad mine dont. Im also thinking that as MS produces the new one's they should work out the kinks that the initial one's had. But once again i dont have those problems.

My 360 gets hot. If I feel the vent in the back of it, it blows out hot air equivilant to my houses heating but has not yet overheated. The power supply only gets warm, never hot. I do not plan on buying such things unless overheating becomes a problem.

Yeah i mean thats true their is warm air in the back where the vents are but i mean mine isnt hot, or excessive heat or overheats. I never seen these overheating issues not once and i hope i never do i love my xbox 360.
How ever for those of you who do have these issues, it's nice to know that their are alternetives.

Nope, they are just making these cause of all the PS3 fans that are making fun of our cheap piece of crap 360. I bet they dont even have a 360 that they are testing these collers on so how do they know its getting hot and over heating. I bet no one else is having overheating problems with their 360 which is why they would spend time and money creating an add-on to make it run cooler. its all just a conspiracy. Just like how easy it is to find a 360 in the stores now. I went to 4 stores today (Bestbuy, target, walmart and Game crazy) and All of them had plent of 360s premium and core. They just arent selling anymore...ha ha ha. If it wasnt needed, they wouldnt make it. Just shows how truly cheap the 360 is. Or should we still call it icebox 360.

Your right i think this is just a conspiricy, they sabbotagged all there consoles sop they would overheat and being that the Xbox Fanboys are so stupuid they all know use will go and buy another one! It's a mareketing Scam i reckon!

NAH, they just dont know how to make systems. I mean hell they cant even make software that doesnt have bugs. Why should 360 be any different.
360 xbugs get what they deserve. A cheap A$$ system that you have to buy a cooler for. I got a mini fridge I'll sell you cheap.
Just drill you holes in the rear and front for wires and plugs and place your 360 inside. Problem solved.....heh heh heh.

if people don't like those games, then they won't care if the ps3 has them. they might be better to you, but not everybody.

14 - and by the way
former questionmark 05.20.2006 18:51
they started working on ps3 games about the same time as 360. remember the ps3 was scheduled for this spring, which is right now. so all of these games have BEEN in production to be ready around right now. the "delay" gave sony more time for developers to get there games up to a suitable standard to declare that their 1st wave is equal to 360s' 2nd wave, when in reality they are the same wave.

15 - It's True
Unregistered - bluez 05.20.2006 18:52
My first 360 DID OVERHEAT, I had to send it back to MS.

16 -
PAUL CERULA 05.20.2006 19:09
The reason for the first wave of 360's overheating was because of one of the suppliers assembly line didn't remove a thin silver layer on the cpu's that quote "cooked itself"

SO THAT'S WHY.

The 360 now has a new and quieter drive, and new cpu's that run cooler and are cheaper. They don't want most to know this cause it's bad P.R. for people who already have one.

PAUL CERULA 05.20.2006 19:13

#9, you have no idea what your talking about. The MS OS, is full of bugs because it does what apple and linux doesn't do. It pulls all types and variations of source code and programs from the entire world. It's occasionally faulty because of the complexities of it not bad programming.

Apple and Linux only work on their own level of programs. Their not even close to Microsoft's undertaking. And plus a console has nothing to do with their OS. Live anywhere will pull everything together.

So next time you have a thought, let it go...

Unregistered - The One 05.20.2006 20:33
Can't play for more than 3 hours, It's getting HOT in here, turn off that 360. In summer time play time hours will drop to 1hr. Wow, $400 for a system, $20 for a cooler, $50 a year for online, $200 for hd-dvd. Taht's lot more money over the life of this system, i'd rather wait and pay $600 for the PS3,thank God that i sold my 360, i didn't like the games so much.

20 - If you buy something you're probably not gonna like
former questionmark 05.20.2006 20:38
It's your fault, not the systems. You knew what games were available when you bought it. If you like Sony type of games you should have waited, because unless you sold it to someone off the street, you got about half of what you paid for it. And yes, the PS3 WILL have problems and defects too.

I am the Modren Man.

I've got a secret
I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human
my blood is boiling
my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely
don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone

resident evil 5 will be on both systems, not a ps3 exclusive.

24 - cooler..? ok..
Unregistered - BeastfromdaEast 05.20.2006 22:50
I don't really care about the cooler, my 360 is fine. To the person who posted about the 360 vs. PS3 games..all that P has is MGS4. Tekken sucks, so does Virtua Fighter..Killer Instinct is so much better. But when is Rare gonna wake up and make that s*&%. You forgot about Too Human, the first in its trilogy. I'll be getting Wii and PS3 though. #1-360, #2-Wii, #3-PS3.

25 - To PS3 so called exclusives retard
Unregistered - HAHA 05.21.2006 00:39
First off, Resi 5 will be on both systesm, as will Assasins Creed (it was running on a 360 at E3 for christs sake, the only other game you mentioned in the PS3 line up th, but that hasnt been announced as entirely exclusive as of yet.

So get your facts straight in future or you'll be forever doomed to showing everybody just how retarded you actually are.

lol you ps3 fans are funny anytime you have a shot you take it but if you go back to the ps3 sites, all of your topics are negative every single one ps3 is a joke before it hits the shelves. Now to the one nerd talking about how the 360 is not selling if thats the case then then why would people the average public pick up a gaming device with a higher price tag...dont make much since huh....think before you post.

Unregistered - charger 05.21.2006 09:56
don't pay any attention to them.

the hot air coming out of the back of the 360 is the hot air not over heating your 360.

go outside to your air conditioner unit of your home. you will feel extrem hot air blowing out of it. that is the effect of cool air coming in and all the hot air in your home being pulled out. your house stays nice and cool.

they only nice feature this has is the warning system and the ability to control the fan speed like todays top PC. that would be the only reason to get it. as like all of you...mine never gets more than luke warm at the most.


30 - i agree with charger

My 360 get warm and you feel WARM (NOT HOT) air vent out of the back.... that is what it is suppose to do.

Unregistered - GRAW 05.21.2006 20:00
I agree, i never had any hot air in the backc of my 360. warm yeah but never ever hot or over heated im not going to say some people didnt have over heating im saying mine never has. Keep in mind that I too had my 360 since launch 05. No overheating issues at all, my 360 works fine, right now im playing GRAW and I play for hours in multiplayer and no problems so i really dont understand why people think that the 360 has heating issues, oh and i want to get another one but i want it in black so im hoping that in time MS will make other colors. And you know that the new 360 have a different drive, and gpu's then then those of us who got them at launch so its more refined and they'll do that every few years so i dont understand how a ps fan can talk crap when they are on their 10th ps2's cause of issues.

37 - 31 is right
Sir Nathaniel 05.21.2006 20:40
U ps3 fanatics just don't know wen to face the truth do u? #31 frikin posted a link to SOLID PROOF of the 360's superiority oer the ps3.

38 - cooling
Unregistered - nbmbn 05.21.2006 20:47
If you keep your 360 in a cool area, like out of the sun, and keep the power sord thing in the open as long with the system you wont have any problems and there is no need for coolers

39 - #4 is so very correct.
Trickedbullet 05.21.2006 20:49
I too have noticed that every Ps3 fanboy has to make a homo sounding insult. They must say that we are fags, or some other homosexual comment. This leads me to believe that ps3 fans must be mentally unstable and should therefore be banned from playing games and browsing the internet. If they continue to exist, then their stupidity will destroy both the internet and gaming.

40 - again guys (READ...GOOD POINTS!!!)
Unregistered - charger 05.21.2006 21:04
hot air coming out is good. that means it is nice and cool inside. just go outside and feel the air blowing out of your a/c unit...it is hot. go back in your house...it is cool.

the 360 pulls in cool air and blows out hot air. that is why the 360 is not hot to the touch. and we haven't even talked about the liquid cooling system that is also in that baby.

that being said...your 360 is nice and safe. it has more tech than any computer going right now. so becareful of these companies trying to cash in on these overheating rumors. some of these devices, like the inter cooler, might just stress out the stock fans inside.

you need none of this crap. and these sony guys don't know, they don't even have one. they are still waiting for their ps3, that may or may not happen this year.

and if a sony ho talks on here...have disipline and don't respond. that just gives them fire and motivation to fire back.

Unregistered - famo 05.22.2006 12:40
My 360 has had no problems overheating. I accidentily lest it on over night after running all day and I imagine it was on 14-16 hours.. I am probably going to buy this b/c it cools the GPU/CPU and could extend the life of the console and make it easier on the console. I am glad this was made and I plan on purchasing it!

43 - Nyko Intercooler has improved things (Oblivion)
Unregistered - speed 05.22.2006 13:49
not sh*tting anyone here. I was having major problems with Oblivion (game freezes, audio cutout, disk scratches). after replacing the game for the 4th time from Best Buy, I also bought the intercooler. after about 15hrs of play I have not seen ANY glitches whatsoever and have not had any scratches on the disk. I swear I think even the load times are slighlty improved. So either the 4th disk was engineered differently or the intercooler is helping or some combination of the two. absolutely no other changes to my setup changed. it is well worth the $20 if you are seeing ANY issues with your games or system.
