On my 3rd refurb system; none last more than 2 days
Sat, 21 Jun 2008 18:09:59 -0400
Ok, I'm losing my mind... I got a refurbished Xbox360. It never turned on
properly - just gave weird blocks on the screen. Took it back and got
another one - that one would play for about 15 minutes and then lock up. I
guess heating issues? I took that back and they (EB Games) gave me a green
"Halo edition" one ...

Replacement game disks for regular xbox?
Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:26:36 -0400
I have a damaged Halo 2 disk that doesn't let me go past a certain level;
when I try to load it it says the disk is damaged/dirty and cannot be read.
I have cleaned both the lens of the xbox disk drive and the game disk
itself, plus I got a CD repair kit and used it on the disk, all to no avail.
I have looked at ...

display resolution
Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:19:59 -0400
I apologize if this is a duplicate; switching usenet providers plays heck
with stuff.
I have an Xbox (original, not 360) that I use mainly for playing
music.[1] I got a mini monitor[2] for it. Images look OK, but text is
really hard to read. I think what's happening is the monitor's native
resolution is lo ...

How to connect original Xbox to projector??
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 06:59:12 -0400
I have an original Xbox that I'd like to connect to a projector. I have a
cable that connects to the Xbox and has red/yellow/white RCA connectors on
the other end. On the projector, I have inputs for "S-video", green/blue/red
RCA, and VGA. Which of these is the best one to use and is there a cable I
can buy?

Games suggestions for Xbox 360?
Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:20:06 -0400
I just got an Xbox 360 as a present. I'm hoping people will give me some
suggestions for good games based on the following criteria:
1) I'm 39, with poor gaming control. I don't want anything with complex
button combos; for example, Splinter Cell's controls were too complicated to
be fun for me. By the time I ...

Xbox 360 went DOA last night...
Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:55:47 -0400
A few weeks ago my brother's Xbox 360 died and he commented that everyone he
knows has had the "Red Ring of Death" (RROD) and required service.
I was somewhat skeptical at that figure - after all, I hadn't had the
problem myself, nor had I known many people with that issue.
Well, the other night it happene ...
