xbox is extreamly heavy, i did'nt think the xbox would be that heavy and it is also very bulky i must have a lot of hardware, or was it designed like that on purpose?

Seriously, would you ever not buy a console on the grounds that it's too heavy? It's not like you need to be constantly moving it around, just get it home and shove it under the TV..

if the sound profing is only around the edges won't the sound come out of the place were the fan get air from. and besides it could be a built in feature for weight lifters.

u put soundproofing around the edge of the case... not the fan! Or the air inlets for that matter.

OK! So the xbox is that big not to allow you to fit any other console under the TV!!!! OK?

How can you silence a fan by adding material around it and still let it do its job properly...surely the case would obstruct airflow? This is a headache for thousands of people trying to cool their PCs, how to cool successfully and keep noise down...really don't see why MS couldn't have used a papst (or generic equivalent thereof), near silent fans but good airflow..

It's designed so that it has lots of soundproofing in it. Unlike the PS2 and DC you shouldn't hear the disc and fan wizzing!
