Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

if it's over heating have you tried buying one of those extra fan things you can plug into the back which provides more cooling?
i use one and have never had any problems. pisses me off that i have to use it though, because it's super loud.

Cheating on live? How so? You would have to be able to modify the game, somehow still get it to have a properly signed code and be able to pass on all online checks.

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

my buddy has a the mod chip in his and he's on live all the time. he said the key was to not play the games before they come out and to not play the ones he downloads on live as 100000 other people will have it to so if he wants to play a certain game online he has to rent it so only 100 people have it.

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

I debated for over a month before I decided to go with the PS3. Great choice on my part. I am really happy. Since I have had mine all friends who have had 360's have switched. Now I contacted Sony Canada to get an old 60gig version. Full backward capability. No emulators. The graphics on the PS3 are way better then 360. The reason I didnt go with 360 is the RED RING OF DEATH. How can you have a system out for over two years and still have such an issue? Why release a system that has a major fault? Microsoft really dropped the ball on the 360. It was a rushed system and its costing them now.

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

The PS3 has similar problems and just as bad bad service, just ask the guy whose warranty was denied because his PS3 was too dusty. From what I have heard it is also not 100% backwards compatible. Very few PS3's have hardware support for PS/PS2 games (mostly launch units) and most of the others are software emulation. MS may have rushed the hardware out the door but it works great for the most part and they have a large lead in the amount of games for the system. Add to the fact that you don't need to install a huge chunk of the game onto the HDD every time you have a new game and it makes the 360 a lot more user friendly in the long run if you have a lot of games.

I did a lot of reading before picking my system and IGN and Gspot both pointed to the XBOX 360.

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

I thought you could get some MS entertainment software that lets you network your XBOX to the PC? cant you do that and play music n files from your PC hd over enet?

My bro in law had it setup something liek that but im not sure on the details its a couple of years ago now.

[RONDAL]

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

yeah i need to update my network so i can watch movies off my computer again.

PS3 has just the same types of problems....why? Cause they are all made in China crap.

PS3 also doesn't have nearly the game base or multiplayer options of XBOX

Re: 360 no.2 dead after 3 days!!!!!

Info update.

PS3 has two different models. The new 80 and 40 gig are emulators. If you contact Sony(which I stated I did) you can pick up the remaining 60 and 20 gig versions that have been recalled by Sony for the newer cheaper emulator versions. I have 20 plus ps1 games....all work. Every game from PS2 has worked. If your system goes down cause you are a pig and dont clean then I wouldnt honor your warrenty either. Take some responsibility people.

System is a personal choice. I have a fully modified Xbox. I have played the 360 for many hours(since friends have them). Like I said they have all moved to the PS3 and two actually moved to a PS3 and Wii. I personally wouldnt own a Wii but the owners who have them swear by them.

360 you are going to be able to do more with. It has been out for how much longer then PS3? They have more game designers. PS3 is catching up but give them another 2 years and PS3 will top out. By then maybe MS can get it right on launch day with whatever they choose for the replacement for the 360.

Oh, and I keep my stuff clean. If its a PC, gaming system, LCD, stereo etc. Its electronics! Most dont do well with high heat. Dust is a killer.

I will keep you updated if it ever goes down.
