Alright Guys
Just though i would post here about my replacement 360. My 3rd gave me 3 red lights 2 weeks ago but decided to keep working. Rather than waiting for it to completely die on me and having to fork out £280 on a new Premium, i traded mine in and got a new one
To my delight, i was given one with a build of Febuary 8th 2007. Some may have already one of these newer builds. The pictures on the back and side of the box are different showing off the newer accessories.
The Mains lead that goes into the PSU has a different connection. Still 2 pin but smaller. The Hard Drive on the side is no longer silver around the edge but light grey like the botton of the console. The grey overall is a slightly lighter shade too. Same for the controller.
The Drive is the BenQ model When the console is on the dash it is now COMPLETELY Silent. Played 'Gears' for around 5 minutes and i was shocked at how much quieter it was. You can hear it within a 1 meter radious of the console but further than that it's silent when playing games.
It is definately 50% quieter than my last 360.
Took out the Game extended warrenty to be causious as i get free replacements for 3 years for only £35.
I just thought i would post this here to confirm that the newer consoles ARE quieter and better built.
