| I'll point out that the newer XBoxes aren't as loud. When they changed to the Falcon board (most of the ones you can buy that were in the stores in 2008), the CPU was cooler, and consequently, the fans are quieter. In addition, there is an even quieter/cooler one coming out.....it is even cooler, and quieter than the ones with the Falcon board.
The newer ones are supposedly not as prone to hardware failure either.
I have both systems, but I tend to play the XBox far more. I just find it easier to locate people to play with....but everyone has their own preferences.
