I don't care about the "green gaming", this is gamespot being influenced by al gore or those green fanatics. I play my xbox in my basement, next to the room where the air conditioners and heaters are in my house, i don't care what the noise factor on the xbox is so long as i can play it. If my xbox dies, then sure, i'll upgrade, but i don't see why i would drop 200 bucks to grab a new one when my old one still works fantastically.
