We all know someone who has experienced the dreaded "red ring of lights", but now it seems there is a cure for those brave enough to venture into the insides of their Xbox 360.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
I wonder what thermal paste he used? Artic Silver 5? That stuff is the best. When my warranty runs out I'm going to try a liquid cooling mod!
This is exact proof that the 360 is not a fualty game system. But I'm sure Sonyfans will ignore this proof anyways and countinue to spead rumors.
...don't have time to read it. This story cropped up way back in March - It was quickly debunked as bullshot....www.xbox-scene.com /xbox1data/sep/EEuEAykVuZXMIPE a SP.php...and here is MS's response via GamerScoreblog.com: gamerscoreblog.com/team/archiv e/2006/03/10/533618.aspx
So now the guy at Ars Technica has done it. Let's all wait and see how long it lasts before the lights come back. Not to be a pessimist (well, I am) but I got another few days out of my first 360 just by unplugging the cables and replugging them (not the most technical of fixes).
I have a year warranty with Gamestop. If anything should happen to my system they will replace it with a new one. But I guess this is good news for people that their warranty has expired.
i'm not sure your average 360 user is going to want to open up his xbox, remove the heatsink, peel a thin layer of plastic from a chip and then cover the chip with paste.
These things freak out the average person, and will lead to a lot of screw ups.
oh and i don't know anyone with the 'ring of death' so thats just BS.
