"I think one of the cons needs to be changed from "covers your HDMI port" to "current model will not fit on 360s with an HDMI port." It seems that from what I've read from the above poster and a couple of other places this is true. That is that Microsoft rearranged several of the inputs on the back of the 360 in order to make room for the HDMI port. The current version of the Pelican Xbox 360 Pro Cooler actually will not fit onto any of the models with an HDMI port (Pro, Elite, and Halo apparently). http://www.lockergnome.com/tuxedojericho/2008/01/03/pelican-xbox-360-pro-cooler-might-not-be-compatiable-with-your-xbox-360/ http://www.gzgameshop.com/product.asp?product_id=802686 That being said, the HUGE pro for this thing is that it cools the Xbox more successfully and does so with a USB Power Port. The old Nykos used to destroy interior parts of the 360 by draining power from them. A USB powered cooler should not draw power away from any vital components. If there is not enough power to power all your USB devices, they just don't work. The critical components inside your Xbox should still have the power they need, making a warrany-voiding RROD much less likely. It still seems they need a better cooling solution for the 360. Incidentally, does the Pelican Pro Cooler force you to stand your Xbox in the upright position? I was assuming no, but I know the older Pelican cooler did. I guess I am going to have to wait for the "Pelican Pro Xbox 360 Cooler HDMI Version" or something before I can get a decent cooling solution for my 360."
