Like others have said, putting a towel around it should do the trick. The "towel trick" does fix the 360 temporarily but will do more harm in the long run than good. If you keep doing it eventually it will overheat and you should get the 3 red lights.

I rented it as well. While I've only played for about an hour and a half, I am enjoying it so far. I tried the Wiimote but it doesn't really work as well as a plain old gamecube pad (mainly for the paraloop technique).

I've done all of Oblivion, including the expansion. Over 50 hours invested in that game, but it was fun.

Merry Christmas to all

I was really looking forward to it but the reviews kind of got my hopes down. I will at least rent it.

Yeah it's normal, they can be pretty loud. Hitachis are louder than Samsungs and BenQs.

Glad most of you liked it I guess it's not that bad.

Your sig gave me a good idea, I made this:



How can I make it better?

Most of that shit is sold before Christmas even arrives. Also it helps tame things at least a little since the early birds won't have much to get at the last minute, unlike 80% of the rest of the people.

So, so many good 360 games out. If you haven't played it already, the Shivering Isles expansion provides some good extra fun for Oblivion. Some great games (of all genres, in no particular order): -Bioshock (short but oh-so sweet) -Dead Rising (just frickin' awesome) -PGR 3/4 (racing sims ftw) -Gear...

Bioshock is great, I'm playing it for the second time through right now actually.

Congrats and best of luck.

Sorry to hear.

Wow, don't know how I missed this one. I am exactly the same as mel, but I still do not have that "technique" down pat. As a result, I have a pile of 360 games to play and not enough time to finish them all. My problem is, that while I only play one or two games at a time (usually two if I...

I want to change my audio set up a bit so I can use my pc speakers with my xbox 360. Right now I am using a VGA cable and monitor for my 360 since I don't have a decent TV, and I get hi-def resolutions with the monitor (720p). I have 5.1 surround sound speakers for my PC, but when I use them with my...

It's fine.

Yikes

The only conference I watched was the microsoft one. It showed some great games, I can't wait for them. The other two though, I read summaries of them and they really didn't seem to have much. I think the only reason why I think the microsoft one was best is because I haven't really been keeping tra...

Hrmm... I have never played the first one but I really wanted to. Nevertheless after watching that gameplay video it hardly looks like any fun or anything... pointing the Wiimote at the screen to fly through hoops? Looks like a glorified flash game. Of course there is probably more to it... and ple...

Excellent topic. I really like games that you get into the action right away or almost right away. I love racing games, as long as it's more like a simulation racer (PGR3, Forza, Gran Turismo, Moto GP) and not one of those ones with items and crap (Mario kart). I also like action/adventure games.
