I installed this to my 360 last night and decided that it's best not to play it - my console is making the "I'm about to die!" noises I remember so well from the last time it broke. There's a good trade in deal against the new model that's out on the 16th of July so I've decided to barely play it between now and then, hopefully keeping it alive, and trade it. Works out at £80 for a brand new console with a larger HD, halved power consumption, redesigned innards which will be less prone to 360 death syndrome, and to add the cherry to the cake it will be around 5 decibels quieter than my current jumbo jet console.

Damn. I'd been looking forward to this.
