Fix your Xbox 360!

(Click here to get straight to fixing your 360!)

If you’re reading this then it’s happened to you too, right? Your Xbox 360 was fine one minute, and then out of the blue the green ring of light has turned that devilish shade of red.

And now you want to know how you can fix your Xbox 360.

Until now, if you wanted to fix your Xbox 360 yourself, you were limited to some very unusual and unreliable methods. Have you tried the “Towel Trick” fix yet? If you haven’t, steer well clear of it. If you have, then you probably already know that the “Towel Trick” is more likely to set your Xbox on fire than to fix it. I mean, come on, who really believes that wrapping your Xbox 360 in a towel is going to fix anything?

It’s an Internet myth.
And it’s bordering on “myth” to believe you can crack open the case of your Xbox 360 and fix the problem yourself with a soldering iron. The Xbox 360 is a serious piece of high tech kit, not a toaster. You try the “solder” fix and all you’re likely to do is cause more damage and void your warranty.

So what does that leave you with?
Well, you could follow Microsoft’s advice and return your Xbox 360 to them to fix on your behalf. But that’s going to set you back $140 plus shipping if your warranty has expired. And you’re not likely to see your console for 6 to 8 weeks, minimum. Doesn’t that sound like a lot of money and fuss just to fix your Xbox 360?

Even if your warranty is still valid, there’s still the shipping charge to consider, and you’ll still have the hassle ofpackaging your Xbox 360 up securely for its return to Microsoft. And don’t forget that two-month wait for it to be returned to you.

Thankfully, there are some options. Check out this review of the best 3 xbox repair guides, and decide for yourself.  They’re complete solutions to the dreaded red ring of death you’ll encounter when your Xbox 360 suffers a general hardware failure.

Now you really can fix your own Xbox 360, and you’ll do it within 2 hours, guaranteed. To help you on your way, you’ll also receive full customer support from real experts, plus comprehensive video tutorials, showing you the simple steps discovered by tech pros who know the inner workings of the Xbox 360 like the backs of their hands.

(Avoid the costly, unrealistic, and slow methods, and fix your Xbox 360 the only way experts suggest – use The James Dean 3 Red Light Fix Pro.)

Software Quickpick – Digsby

You boot up your computer, and what do you do?

*doubleclick on AIM*

*doubleclick on MSN*

*doubleclick on Yahoo*

*double click your web browser to open up Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Gmail*

Although double-clicking isn’t going to count towards much of your calories burnt for the day, it gets tedious. That’s something we all can agree on. Plus, who likes switching back and forth between IM client windows and the web anyways? Nobody, that’s who.

Play Dyson [Indie Game]

dyson's minimalist design works really well (closeup of an asteroid)

Dyson-game homepage

I personally enjoy indie games, so I thought I’d recommend this one to you all. Dyson (not the vacuum cleaner) is a simple rts based around trying to take over an asteroid belt. On these asteroids, you can plant trees which grow seedlings, and use them to attack and take over other asteroids. The other tree type you may build is a defense tree. These grow spiked seedlings which protect your asteroid from invading enemy seedlings.

Art Style and Music

I really enjoy the minimalist design of Dyson. Overall it comes together to be an eclectic aesthetic experience with the combination of smooth electronic music, blended colors, and sharp lines.

Gameplay

Dyson’s gameplay is so simple yet oddly addicting. Simplicity is beauty here in that there’s not overwhelmingly too much to worry about. The control scheme is easy to manage. You strictly use your mouse and scroll wheel. You’ll find yourself persistently playing along trying to capture that last asteroid. There are only 6 levels, but it will take you longer to get through these 6 levels than you think.(took me 2 hours to finish level 2, but I’m a slowpoke) As a whole, this game is a great concept, and fits into the genre that I would alike to the game “flow”.
