JoyStiq: No Heat Concerns, Fan Noise, Video Controls Lacking
>> JoyStiq received their press Xbox 360 (retail and debug kit) and posted lots of comments, info and reviews already. Here's some interesting info:
[QUOTE]
* Several readers have asked us if there have been any heat issues with the Xbox 360. We've had the unit on constantly for the last 30 hours, and so far have noticed no overheating issues. The jimongous power supply that ships with the unit is huge in part because it actually contains a fan inside of it. It's hard to quantify the temperature without a thermometer, but we can say that it's certainly no warmer than a typical electronic device.
The Xbox 360 unit itself is a little PC, and puts out a fair amount of warmth, though isn't alarmingly hot to the touch at any spot.
* Here's how the Xbox 360 ranks in terms of noise output versus the other fan-cooled devices in the apartment.
1. Old, clunky refrigerator
2. Xbox 360
3. PlayStation 2 (fat version, not slim-line)
4. Panasonic PT-AE700U projector
5. GameCube
6. Xbox 360 power supply
... see rest of list.
* For the video trailers already loaded onto the 360 hard drive (as well as the ones downloaded earlier), all you get are play, pause, and stop functions. DVD/MPEG-2 videos fare a little better, as some advanced controls were unlocked--such as chapter skip, zoom, and subtitles.
We'd still like to see other common DVD functions, though, like step and any level of fast-forward, slow-mo, or rewind implemented in the movie and music functions of the 360.
