Before I begin, be mature, and if this topic doesn't appease you, don't read or post. It's meant for a few laughs.
Well anyway, I picked up an old issue of Gamepro to read on the toilet (Yeah, I'm like that) And it was the 360 special First Ever Reviews Issue. If you don't believe me, it's issue #208, January 2006.
Well,I'll quote this part from Buyers Beware.
It's titled Learn from Your Mistakes.
Microsoft clearly learned from it's decision not to use propriety hardware for the original Xbox. Hardware architecture for the 360 is far from a "PC in a Box" this time and should guarantee fewer occurrences of the hardware failures that plagued the previous console.
Another one.
If you thought the original Xbox was too loud, worry no more. The 360 is almost completely silent at startup and even reduces drive speed when playing movies just to please those of us who can't stand any excess aural distractions.
The bolded part was what made me giggle like a school girl. Now, if you don't have a sense of humor, or you are a rabid Xbox/Microsoft fanboy, keep away from this.
Well, this might have been too early to notice the Hardware failures, and I'm not pointing at anyone, but it made me laugh.....
