So anyway this month, as with most months, has been a month of random purchases.
This time round ive opted to expand and improve my console collection.
Given that my year old 360 has stopped being able to eject cds a good 80% of the time now (as in you press eject, it grunts at you, then does nothing, you repeat 3 times and on the last try it fires the thing out at you.) Ive done the charitable thing and given it to my sister, and then bought a new one.
Now i generally only keep consoles as glorified DVD players, but i do play the odd game, and as a result i tend to get pretty heafty use out of them all round really, so while ordering the new console i figured id pick up a cooler unit. Ive gone for the 360 Gamexpert Cooler King mod, which you just plug in the back and as well as providing even more video connectivity options, also, apparently surge protects and cools down your system.
Anyhoos i was wondering, has anyone else got any experience of using these things. Does it really help with extending the functional life of the console, or have any of you heard of any horror stories, or good reasons why i shouldnt connect the thing up?
