This looks like a good thing, for everyone that thinks they need a cooler that is, especially with the extra USB connections.

Has anyone on here got a cooler? Is it actually worth it?

Looks like a decent piece of kit, will wait for some reviews before I consider buying it though, the video connection setup looks appealing.

It wont, the 360 processes the image for one output only so it'll output to the VGA connection and that's it.

You're only option for watching in HD and recording in SD would be to get an AV Receiver and run the component lead to it and then onto your TV and use the recording loop to hook the receiver to the capture card.

Looks like a nice gadget though I doubt I would use it for much, it would most likely just make my xbox bigger than it was lol.

I won't be buying this. Sure it looks cool and has some good extras but my friends brother got the intercooler (i know its not the intercooler but its practically the same thing) for christmas and it made his 360 make really bad "Vuuuuuurrrrrr" noises when he started it up less than 2 days later it badly cracked one of his disks, he stopped using it and gave it to my friend, once again it made the really bad "Vuuuuuurrrr" noises on start-up and a few days later gave him the 2 red lights after every 30 mins of play- even after he stopped using it. Well i thought it was a slightly wierd that all those problems happened after the intercooler was plugged in so i think that caused the problems. I also heard on the web that the Intercooler and any other deviced which uses the 360 power adaptor for power will over time eventually break your 360 as the cores inside get less power and reduces performance which could cause more crashing etc.
Anyone else heard of problems with this stuff?

No you were not on topic. Simply posting 'high five' does not mean it's on topic. Do not argue the fact.

Intercooler (as well as other coolers using XO's USB ports) have had very bad reviews. However, this one seems to stand out (uses external power):

Looking at the pic you have to stand your 360 on the end. Not a fan of all that heat heading to the base of the HDD.
