| QUOTE (xFusioNx @ Jun 25 2004, 04:19 AM) | It's not that loud to begin with. If you wanna hear loud come take a listen to my computer. I have to shut the door to my office just to watch a movie. Any my living room is over 20 feet away. I can't even talk on the phone near my computer because it sounds like a fucking factory.
Now that's loud, not a little slight hum that comes from the xbox. |
What hardware you choose to place in your office is entirely up to you. Also if you enjoy being clinically deaf, then that is also your choice.
In my lounge is a home theatre system, which job it is to make my AV experience an enjoyable one, from the lowest whisper to the loudest explosion.
My PS2 and to a lesser degree, Gamecube do not produce annoying mechanical noise. Neither do my DVD player or VCR, but the un-modded Xbox, purely as a piece of home theater equipment is flawed. Try playing a survival horror game and hearing the disc seek, just at a tense moment and it kills the surprise.
Sony were able to revise their initially noisy PS2 to make it whisper quiet, but with MS's use of vastly different components from one Xbox to the next, you never know what you are in for until you plug it in.
With the increase in speed and heat, I am concerned with what the next generation of hardware will sound like, but if MS want the next Xbox to be the centre-piece of my lounge, they better do a bloody good job of making sure I can't hear it.
Some people may not be concerned at all by the noise, others are more sensitive, that doesn't make them a "crybaby", just astute listeners.

when I got my first xbox, the day it came out, I had already had my ps2. But I reluctantly bought an xbox. I looked at the box and I wondered if it was a display model, but nope it was the actual thing. EB actually had to order specially made bags to hold my order. When I pickd it up I was having a hard time getting it through other stores, not becuase of the weight, but the awkwardness of the huge box banging on my legs when i walked. Along with the system I also bought Halo, Fusion Frenzzy, another game that I took back, I cant even remember the name. Ohh wait it was oddworld. Anyway, I get home and I look in the box. Hopefully everyone has opened a new xbox before, thats the greatest experience I have ever had. I opened it, and omg it was right there. I plugged it in and marveled at its sleekness and it finnally gave me something to make my entertainment system complete. I mean how many other systems have a hard drive to store music? When I first played halo I was in awe. I pryed myself away from my baby to go back to the mall and get 3 more controllor and a memory card. I also got a some mags on the xbox. I played halo for a very long time. I still do play halo, but its not the same.
That whole post is how my reaction to the first xbox was. If you think itsbig when u buy it just wait till you play it becasue even if it is as big as a computer it will have a ton of features. Right now in my room I have 2 xbox's and 2 tv's and my computer, my bed, my monitor, my desk that is the same size as the big teachers desks. Its one of the metal ones. I also have my dresser but that info isnt needed. Right now Im working on my gaming room, I live with my mom (one put down about me living with my mom and Ill find you and come kill you) (btw Im only 17 and now am a seior) but we live in a 6 bed room house with 2 baths and I basically own the downstairs and there are 3 rooms down here including mine and a laundry room and the bathroom. She told me I could do what I wanted with one of the other rooms so Im making a gaming room. The whole thing is gonna center around the xbox. I will have one modded xbox, a big tv around 30 inches, and a couch with an entertainment center that can easily hold an xbox, tv, vcr, dvd player, and speaker system. With the xbox as my main attraction the xbox 2 will also be in there. IF I have the same experience with the xenon as I do the xbox then it will be a very sucessfull system. All of my friends now own an xbox and like me they all sold there ps2's to get their xbox. they are all hapy btw. There is always a halo lan going down somewehre around me. Xbox is a way of life where I live, so the xenon better be good. Size doesnt matter, its the power that it can produce. I will only be buying one sony product next year, thats the psp. The xenon will own the console market.
Sorry for the long post but thats how I feel.
