RSS360 Problems?

The great thing about owning all three consoles is knowing which one is the best for a fact, it has to be the Xbox 360 because of the entire experience I recieve from it. Just because it is my favourite it doesn’t mean that the console itself wasn’t released with some problems that are still perhaps not fixed.
I actually still have my original 20GB console which is of course the first to be released and I somehow managed to get mine on month of release as a Christmas presents with two games. The two games that came with my console were Kameo and King Kong and both were very good games back then. The only reason people buy King Kong now is to get the easy achievement points from and Kameo is always seen coming in at around £10. Then again, nearly all old games seem to devalue over time.
However it is not the games that are the issue it is the console itself. The three rings of death or three red rings is a term that angers many of the Xbox community as it is such a pain in the arse when it happens, if you are not familar with the term it means the console is pretty much broken unless you send it off for repair.
I have actually been through two repairs, the second I really had to push to be free even though it was on the same damn console. The problem is that there are not enough fans within the console to keep it cool which is what makes the soldering melt and destroy the motherboard. You can in fact quickly wrap the console in a cold towel which will fix the problem but this will only work temporarily so it is best to send it off straight away.
Simply put more fans into the system right? There is already an issue with the loudness of the console, adding more fans could really cause another problem. So basically the users are going to have to put up with this problem until the next console. The bad repairs has certainly not stopped me from ordering in my new Super Elite containing a nice 250GB hardrive.
It is funny how far ac fans and a few electrical components can go isn’t it?
