Has anyone seen this?

I am wondering if it would be of any benefit, especially seeing how Dead Rising is causing the system to heat up so much.

Also, no real truth if it works. Some say it could actually HARM the 360 as they have TOO much air flow not designed for the 360. Not sure, some love it.

Sonufabitch. From my 360 blog:
Some bitch left me negative feedback. I'm pretty sure I know when too. I was playing UNO yesterday and one player thought he would be cute since he was losing to just sit there on his turn...for about 20 minutes. I think he was like 0-5 in Ranked Matches. The 3 of us decided to wait it out. Screw him forcing us to take losses by backing out. I never said anything negative, just asked him what he was waiting for. He spoke another language, so that didn't help. So I sat there until he finally quit. The force play option never popped up.
I'm sorry but if your system freezes up on you(if that was what it was, I doubt it), shut it down and take the loss, don't be a bitch to everyone else at the table.
So he either froze up or was just being a bitch and my rep takes a hit for the first time. Bastard. I left him some during the game after about 15 minutes.
I know it is a trivial thing, but that's on top of my busted 360 over the weekend, my Logitech wireless headphones snapped last week as well, and I also have the crack in my DS lite. I'm anal retentive so my whole world is in disarray right now.
Also, I don't want to be alarmed or anything, but Sith Draven's gamer reputation went down yesterday. Sith Draven, if you are reading this, I really hope you weren't TKing or glitching man... don't be that guy.

Supposedly it will be used in Hold Em. I'm not sure though i would want everyone staring at my cluttered living room and me in my Grateful Dead pajamas. Although if it was on i would probably have to wear my viking hat all the time.

I'm betting since he is a video game reviewer on this site he got an advance one from MS.

GCDC: "Cross-platform floodgates will open in 2008" says Microsoft
Johnny Minkley 16:10 22/08/2006
Online-only gamer achievements planned.
Microsoft today unveiled its roadmap for PC and Xbox 360 cross-platform gaming, predicting that "the floodgates will open" for software playable across the two formats by 2008.
Speaking in a session at the Games Convention Developer Conference in Leipzig, Microsoft UK third-party account manager Steven Blackburn offered delegates an update on the firm's Xbox Live service. He also provided details of future plans for marketplace, Live Arcade and the Vista and 360-linking Live Anywhere service.
Blackburn confirmed that the first truly cross-platform playable title, Shadowrun, will launch in early 2007 - before revealing that Microsoft will incorporate a number of online-only gamer achievements to help deliver "first blood" in persuading gamers to try out the online functionality between PC and console.
Blackburn added that the first third-party cross-platform content would arrive in autumn 2007, by which time the application and certification process will have been finalised, with the "floodgates to open for all titles" in 2008.
Elsewhere in the presentation, entitled 'Xbox Live - Now' and in the Future', Microsoft claimed that 80 per cent of connected Xbox 360 owners are using Marketplace, while 30 per cent use Microsoft points to purchase content with an average of 25 items downloaded per user.
Blackburn added that 65 per cent of connected 360 users have tried Arcade, with over five million downloads from the service already made.

Sweet, the Wheel will be mine once Forza 2 comes out. I was wondering if it was going to have force feedback or not, and it does. The force feedback will only work if you have the wheel plugged in, and it also has rumble that always works.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between force feedback and rumble? I thought they were the same thing.
