    Mass Effect a system killer!?!

    Dudes:

    I usually just play sport games, such as APF, and my Xbox makes very minimal sound while I play.

    It Does its thing at the loading screen but then is usally pretty quiet. Not the DVD drive, but the Hard Drive.

    Anways, My 360 sounds like its workin uber hard when playing Mass Effect, as it is constantly going to the hard drive or something during play.

    Im on my first 360 and its over two years old, is Mass effect gonna take her out with its 40 plus hours of gameplay? Has anyone else 360 been smoked by the goodness that is mass effect?

    I've beaten ME twice and had no problems.

        My 360 didn't break until I played Mass Effect. Coincidence?



        Yeah probably.

          alot of games get claimed to have broken 360's. I've seen people say GRAW, Gears of War, and Forza 2 break a 360. I've had one 360 die while playing Forza, so it just happens. If your 360 is sounding ill, it was bound to die anyways.

            my 360 was running loud at times during Mass Effect, I just took it as there's a lot of stuff that's going on.

            Similar things have happened at one point during every other game I've played except for APF. that seems pretty quiet to me.

                Bioshock killed mine. I sold it and haven't had a problem.
                Bioshock = bad karma.

                  I had a 12 hour Mass Effect marathon a few weeks ago and my 360 survived. 360 are just loud.

                    If any game kills my 360 I expect it to be an EA Sports game, namely of the NCAA series.

                      The bottom line is this, if you can hear your 360 then you don't have your surround sound loud enough.

                        Not everybody wears oversized headphones like you.

                        Or who was it that had those fancy surround sound head sets?

                          Speaking of which, I've been meaning to buy me a really nice pair of headphones so that I can play and watch movies while my girlfriend is sleeping. I'd love to get this pair (http://www.ultrasoneusa.com/hfi700.html), but I'm still thinking about how much I am willing to spend.

                            haha, that was me, but actually i play half the time just using my 5.1 surround sound at a medium volume...i guess that's why i never understand how people can hear their 360 all that much, i only hear it when i turn it on, before the game kicks in..
