Xbox One console (console)

Customer Review

After long deliberation, which console fits as Nextgen complement to (really great!) WiiU, I have decided for the Xbox One. I've always been very happy with my Xbox360 and wanted to build on it, mainly because of the great controller and my existing player profile.

The Xbox 360 was not quiet, just the drive rattles violently. And the Wii U hums diligently. But what I was now experiencing with the ONE, is simply outrageous ...

How can it be that a new console that is already built such a clunky (and ugly), is such a terrible noise that? After turning it sounds like a rusty ancient-matrix printers started in combination with a defective hard disk. It buzzes and rattles and roars in a volume that is inexplicable to me. You can hear the console even in the next room, by the way also in standby mode. Have fun while sleeping. The sound seems somehow to get out of the fan-region, but sounds more like violent voltage problems ...

Well, Monday device, you might think, BUT: The exchanged at Media Markt Console has exactly the same problems and yelling to himself. Now I can go back there since.

Obviously not an isolated case, as confirmed by various postings with. Especially the consoles without Kinect seem affected.

Once you play a game, the shrieking the way a touch less, but what good is that to me when I can look with this multimedia console no movies at night without me fall off the ears. In Dashboard the volume is at its worst.

Microsoft's replacement for affected consoles. I do not see, to repair a newly purchased console immediately. The'd better get their technique before beginning to grips with, because that is really embarrassing.

Then I'll stay right at my beloved Wii U or - I never thought - will PS4ler.
