I've been converted too

yeah, it is a reasonable price, at least for my country and the guy who is sending it to repair told me I was getting some new parts or something like that and that it had warranty for 8 months on anything that could happen. (It sounds too good to be true)

Also, what is exactly the RROD, I know the four control lights turn red, but what happens to the console??

About the games, Turok looks great, a good no thinking just kill anything game :thumbup:, specially dinosaurs:thumbup:

edit: will the extra cooling fan help a little in not getting the RROD?

edit 2: sorry three flashing lights and damn, this sucks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RROD#Ge...rdware_failure

I'm gonna game the hell out of that thing for those 8 months in hopes of getting the RROD and geting it replaced, well maybe

Yeah, the RRoD happens to so many Xbox 360s.
If the guy fixing it replaces the heatsinks (or uses X-Clamp) and puts some pressure under the ram, then you probably wont have any more problems

Do NOT buy turok.

Jesus christ, just dont do it.

Rent Turok first, it is a solid game but it is not for everyone.

I don't know Turok looks good but if you tell me it has the same inverted controls as before i'm not getting it

it's just that when i played turok back on the n64 the controls felt inverted, as i'm really used to use the left analog stick to walk and the right one to aim

Otherwise I think it's ok, although I'll rent it first, just in case

Sorry for my bad english I called the heatsink a disipator, didn't knew the name of that piece

Yes, the guy told me the heatsink is getting replaced and another one is going to be added, he showed me that the first 360s had only one heatsink but the newer ones have another one connected to the first one, wich helps a lot in preventing the RROD.

So mine will end up with two, guess I don't have to worry that much about the RROD:thumbup:

I feel it's taking forever to get over with this repair, but that's a good thing, cause I don't have the money just yet

I'd recommend:

Gears of War, Dead Rising, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, BioShock, The Orange Box, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition), Mass Effect, Halo 3.

And from the games coming soon:

Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead.

I appreciate your help people my 360 is still nowhere near being fixed but I'm planning ahead and thinking on expanding the library to Xbox one games (it has backwards compatibility too, right)

I'm thinking Doom 3 and Chronicles of Rid$#@!, I'm not really a fan of the Halo series. So if you have any recomendations they're very much appreciated

thanks in advance

Nope. Only has cetain backwards compatible games and requires a harddrive. I never had an original Xbox so this ****ed me off pretty bad. You can find the list of playable games at xbox.com

[Eviltaco64]

Most of the good Xbox games are backwards compatible.

Most games are there, a few good ones are missing though.

[mike_jmg]

Oh ok thanks

I also was looking through game reviews and trailers of the games you've mentioned so far, they all look very nice

But (yeah, there is always a but), why is it that almost every good game on the 360 is a FPS, I do like FPSs but I think it needs a little more variety of genres, don't you?. Cause I just went over tons.

edit: Dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball is not listed, neither chronicles of Rid$#@! T_T
and what's that about software emulator?, I do have a hard drive. Damn, this is not coming out as well as I though, but is still ok, hope it gets repaired soon so I can play some DMC4
