Help
i sold my 360 in december of 07 to buy a ps3 because i was bored of the system, it didnt seem to have any good games to come out to sustain tiself and it had broken 3 times and i was so frustrated that i sold it and bought ps3. i also own a wii, which i recently sold to my brotehr. i now am thinking about rebuying 360 so i can play gears of war 2, but im not sure whether its worth the money because i love my ps3. any1 have some decent advice (and please dont just write a reply trashing ps3)

Get a job and save for the 360. Just make sure you buy some small fans to help keep the 360 cool. Make sure the GPU and CPU can't overheat again. I'm saying this assuming that you had the RROD. That's what I'm going to be doing. Well, I'll be trying to do anyway.

I've noticed whenever I'm playing a game, My 360 becomes considerably louder. I know it's reading the disk but just wondering if this is something to be concerned over?

in my opinion the Xbox 360 is the best system out of all the systems and i don't think many ppl will argue with me and if they do i will go worse and call it fact instead of opinion......... AWWW screw it, it is FACT haha no arguing with facts because thats impossible

Nothing to worry about. The dvd drive and fans just kick in.

Not sure if anyone can help, but I am currently unable to connect to Xbox Live.

I have my 360 bridged through my laptop and have since I got the system last month and didn't feel like blowing $100 on the wireless adapter.

I connected fine last night, but when I tried to connect when I came home for lunch, it didn't connect. When I came home from school, it didn't work. And now that I'm home from work, it isn't connecting.

The part of the connection test it fails is the IP Address. I have restarted the computer, reset the router, turned off and turned back on the 360, unplugged the ethernet cable from my 360 to laptop. Basically, I've done everything I could think of.

My plan right now is, if there is no help on here and it continues to after school tomorrow, I'll just call Microsoft.


*EDIT*
I was able to connect to XBL using my old wireless adapter I bought for my PS2, but I had trouble staying connected to Halo 3 games while using it.

Do not do that.

But you said its your IP address that's failing. Maybe it has something to do with the way your setup was. Just try plugging the 360 ethernet cord into your router, and plug your router with your modem. That's how mine is set up.

What kind of router do you have?

Try checking your internet setting through your computer. It could be switched to Public, so switch it to Private so that any other computer can share your internet. I don't know if I explained that correcly, but I hope it helps.
