Gears of War copy to give out (well, almost)

[Macaubre]

clearly they're shipping the sub-par machines to Canada.

Don't pull a Wrasse, Z. I really liked you. You don't want to go on my "nemesis" side...

I'll have to check when I get home. I got mine in Jan of 2006.

they started to use the benQ drives in November of 2006. Some people are more tolerant to constant noise than others, I guess.

You're getting predictable, Tal.

Since I got into HTPC stuff, I have grown intolerant of noisy PC's and electronics. With the most recent gaming PC I built, I focused on being near silent first and foremost, instead of just speed (its plenty fast though...e6420 @ 3.2ghz & nVidia 8800 GTS overclocked)

I don't know how the 360 compares to the original X-box, but my original X-Box is pretty noisy.

Ab has me in the house making constant noise and he can tune that out, so I doubt anything else bothers him.

now we're talking. You understand my plight for a quiet movie/game environment. It's already a bore that I have to accept the noise my nearby PCs make in the office beside the "cinema room". If I have to adapt to noisy game consoles, well, there's some limits.
