Xbox 360 question.

Why is my Xbox so loud? It sounds like it's going to take flight. For some reason it's not as loud when it's playing a DVD. Any other gamers out there fix this annoying problem?

Hmmm, my son's is kinda noisy but nothing that would be bothersome or annoying... he has music playing with his games so I doubt that he hears it, and he's got his headset on chatting most of the time tooo... Check out their website, or send them an email asking about it... HTH...

I know he absolutely loves it!!!

Nobody has had awhole lot of time to quiet the 360s. The fan controller turns down the fans when its playing a DVD movie, as it doesnt need as much processing power and wont overheat.

www.silentpcreview.com should be coming out with an article about the 360, and ways to quiet it.
