xbox 360... or kettle?

this week i bought an xbox 360.

how loud is that fan? it sounds like a kettle boiling half the time.

the "package" (premium system) you get though does seem to feel good value. there are a lot of cables, books, heavy boxes, headset etc...
far better than the gamecube that was a machine, not the cables you needed, controller and transformer.. no feeling of "wow" at all.
