Images of a candle that was sitting behind an Xbox 360, turned into a melted pile of wax.
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 dont get why microsoft doesnt make a model that produces less heat or any problems for that matter, rather than just ripping of "other consoles" by adding HDMI and hi def audio and stuff like that...
Hey - all PC's run hot and that's by-product of the amount of work going on with tthe CPU's and the GPU's. It common with high powered devices, and all PC's and the PS3 will also produce heat (though not as much).
This will be helped by the smaller 360 chip set coming online soon, and they have also redesigned the heatsink.
Given the heat it does produce, they should have been a little more robust in the design of the componants, as the heat and the associated board warping are the prime cause of the RROD issues. Reports seem to suggest this is mainly fixed with the newer chipsets and board designs though - but there will always be excessive heat to eject unless you introduce a water powered cooling system like in some high end PC's! Obviously that would be too expensive.
Though I find the machine a little noisy, I don't mind the heat as it saves on my heating bill in the winter! :)
that was pretty funny- xbox must be stopped before all candles die, i urge you to smash your 360 before its too late for all soft products
Wax melts at 113 degrees F (45 C).
That's only 15 degrees higher than human body temperature.
Is it really that shocking that a current-gen console would emit that amount of heat? It's not that much...
