Thanks to Scuba’s great post yesterday, I was able to snag a Falcon Elite to replace my 8th broken one. Hopefully this new system will be good to go and I won’t have to replace it.

First impressions: it’s deadly quiet. Much quieter than my old Zephyr Elite. It’s on par with my PS3 and Wii to be honest. The power brick is lighter and has a cheaper plastic connector that goes into the 360. Previous power bricks had 2 buttons to secure the cable into the console and were heavier with some metal in there. This one doesn’t have that.

Thanks to my handy dandy XSATA, I was able to backup everything off my old hard drive and I’m in the process of restoring to the new console. Like I say to everyone, backup backup backup. It will save your life one day.
