the itercooler looks like a good peice of kit looks like a verry good fit on the back of the 360.
Seems to be a lot better than all the other coolers b/cause you dont have to drill,cut or open the 360 plug and play thats how it shouled be

The usb hub will be useful but if you are planning on buying the HD-DVD drive then you don't need it because it's a HUB

Wow i didnt think M$ was paying that much of an attention to heating issue... lol ........ MUST i say more? lol

I had three Oblivion disks turn into coasters unfortunately, Best Buy has been cool excahgning these BTW. I even tried exchanging my console once but that didn't resolve my issues. I never moved my console, and it was in a ventilated area but still, the disk drive would quiet down and then I would here a grinding noise and sure enough the disk was getting scratched to hell. On my 4th disk, I decided to try using the Nyko Intercooler to see if the issue was somehow related to heat. I've been playing now for 30+ hrs and have had no disk scratching or game freezing, and I swear it seems that load times have slighlty improved! So, either my first 3 disks had an engineering flaw or the intercooler resolved my issues. No other factors have changed. One theory is that Oblivion is so demanding of the disk drive that it causes massive heat in the console and may slightly warp the disk, just enough to throw it off balance which leads to scratching.

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro246h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro246h ago

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.

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

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Burnout 3, Risk Factions... I would kill for either of those

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

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.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

darthv7211h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

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.

Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa239h ago(Edited 9h ago)

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.

anast7h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_6h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast6h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
