i have heard i have to buy a cooler, a rechargeable battery pack, what is absolutely necessary and what's not?
that's true, the coolers do more harm than good. the intercooler totally torched my xbox. A headset would be necessary, rechargeable battery pack, and a hard drive or memory card unit. (if you don't have those already)
Well, the cooler is sooooooooooooo NOT neccessary. Believe me, I heard stories about the melting of the Intercooler. Just keep your Xbox in an open space that's not too dusty. One thing that IS neccessary is, definitely, the Play and Charge Kit (if that's what you meant by rechargable battery pack). I guess a few used games so you won't die of boredom.
nothing is super necessary, but the intercooler really helped me out, because my 360 would always over heat and freeze up and now with the intercooler it only does it every once in a while. The rechargeable battery is nice to have but if u have that then u need a charging station or a play n charge kit. the only reason its nice to have is that u dont have to keep buying AA batteries
I would suggest getting the rechargeable battery pack because it'll save you a lot of money in the long run. Don't bother getting the cooler because it's just a waste of money. In some cases, it does more harm than good. Pelican, Nyco, etc. are just playing to gamer's fear of the heat. Not one person has said that their PS3 or Wii have overheated, but those companies still sell coolers for them. So what does this tell you about those companies? I also suggest you get some games and maybe an extra controller.
1. A battery pack with charge cable to keep playing while charging. 2. If you are keeping 360 inside your entertainment center instead of an open area you need to get the intercooler ( An extra fan attachment ) If not, the intercooler is a waste of money 3. Bioshock ( By far the best game of 2007 to date ) 4. Halo 3 ( The best game of the rest of 2007 )
