Need info about xbox360

[Ðreamcatcher]

Ok, Im seriously thinkin abt gettin a 360 soon and so i need all the infos i can get. I'll be really helpful if some1 answers my question

# Do u own a 360 and if so did u experience RROD and is RROD 360's repairable? Do x360's with Falcon chipset (those with HDMI) RROD's Frequently like the launch model? (rrod=red ring of death)

# Is it true that 360 makes loud noise while playing games and generates a lot of heat?

# What's the average price of x360 games? Are they multi dvd games or dual-layer single dvd? Are they BD-written (NP&P or whatever shop) or malaysian like ps2 games?

#Whats the price of Elite and PRO x360 in BD? And is the 60gb pro bundle available here in BD?

TQ

# I do won one! I did not get the RROD yet! As far as I know, the RROD shows up if you keep the AC/DC plug plugged in to a burning Multi-plug 24/7 (even when not in use)! Yes, it is repairable! My cousin experienced it and his one is completely fixed! In fact, there are tutorial video on Youtube.com and you can fix em yourself!

# Loud-noises, NO! Heat = Yes! It does generate a bit of heat!

# Games cost 400 taka each! They are golden-disks mainly. You can get silver ones if you're lucky. They don't seem like they are burned here!

# Dunno about Elite, but the PRO costs 30,000 now I think + 4000 taka for a wireless controller! 60GB bundle, yes, afaik, you can get it here but costs a fair bit.

I own a 360, one of the older models. The newer models dont make much noise, and is not as prone to the RRoD as mine. I havent faced any yet, always play in a AC room. As for the games, they cost tk400 each. If you buy old games, then you're likely to get "Disc Unreadable Message". If that's the case, then you need to take certain steps to get it running, and that involves burning it to a DL-DVD. You wont have any problems with new games though.

As for the price, I checked recently, and they asked for tk38000 for the one's with Zephyr MOBO (no they did not tell me this) and tk42000 for the Elite. I dont know about the 60gb, and I dont think you'll be needing it either as you dont need to install any games

afaik, XBox360 does make more noise than PS3.
anyways, am I dreaming or what? lunar_glint and XBox??

Actually its better if he picks one up right now. Who knows what mind to security measures MS has taken with the Slim 360. It will be hacked, that's true, but it might take a long time, and if it needs a modchip then it might be expensive as well. As long as Midnight gets the 360 with the Zephyr MOBO at least, he should be safe.

@Midnight: try and get the 360 Elite. That has the Falcom motherboard. People say the premium has the Elite's MOBO, but that's not true at all, it has the Zephyr MOBO, only the Elite has the Falcon

Ok ive done some research nd've heard abt slim 360 too...its supposed 2 come with valhala chipset. That means both the gpu nd the mobo would be 45nm. And hey aren't zephyr 90nm which means they'll produce more heat->more chances of RROD?? Im thinkin of buyin one with the jasper chipset..which has both the gpu and [email protected]> less chances or RROD I heard the 60gb's contain jasper ! And dunno abt falcon...they rrod too...only the mobo is 65nm but the gpu(that produces the most heat) is still 90nm :\

ALL XBOX360 HAVE SAME PROCESSOR(65NM) & GPU(90NM)... THOUGH THE GPU IN XBOX WITH HDMI'S IS BIT BETTER THEN THE OLD ONES BUT SAME(90NM).......
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SLIM YET BUT THERE IS NO 45NM GPU EXIST IN THE WORLD YET.......

EDITED

THE NEW XBOX360 ELITE HAVE 65NM GPU & CPU.... AND THE OLD ONE HAVE 90NM CPU & GPU.........

[Ðreamcatcher]

the new 60gb xbox 360's have GPU nd CPU @65nm and microsoft codenamed this gpu revision as "jasper" . And yeah i didnt say that the 45nm gpu version of xbox360 (codename valhalla) exists yet.... its gonna be released late 2009

OK I WAS WRONG ABOUT SOME.......:blush:
THE NEW XBOX360'S THAT R AVAILABLE IN MARKET THE NEW ONES HAVE BOTH 65NM GPU & CPU...... THE SLIM WILL BE ALSO GONNA COME WITH 65NM CPU & GPU....

THE XBOX 540 THAT WILL RELEASE IN LATE 2009 WILL HAVE 45NM CPU WITH 65NM GPU............

Here's how it goes: Original-> Zephyr (Original + extra heatsink)-> Falcon->Jasper. The 60GB's will have the Jasper. As long as you get a zephyr at least, you will be better off. I have the original 360, I still didnt get an RRoD yet. I keep it well ventilated and usually play with the AC turned on. Oh and afaik, every version of 360 has 360 RRoD'ed, even the Jasper will, the chipsets indicate how long it is till you get your first one. Hopefully MS will fix this with the valhalla chipset.

@coldfire: xbox540 wont come out in 2009, the slim 360 will. There have been talks about a slim 360 in India.

xbox 360 and xbox 720 in q1 2011

where do u buy golden disk???of xbox 360

[CvP]

afaik, you can get them in Electronic Museum @ Eastern Plaza or Dragoon Multimedia @ Banani.

No matter which disc they are, the slightest scratch might make the disc unreadable. So be very careful with them. A piece of advice, old games wont run on your 360 if you have the latest iXtreme Stealth Firmware installed.
