If you have found your way to this article then you probably have one of these problems with your console: the 1 red light error, 2 red lights, 3 red lights or even the DVD problem where the drive will not read your games!

But the good news is if you have any of the above problems this article will give you a few tips and tricks that you can try to fix these errors.

All of the above problems are caused by overheating and this is really down to the design of the console, as the main components take too much heat the chips shut themselves off to prevent damage to the motherboard and that is when you see game freezes and the red lights flashing on your power button.

Here are three things you can try to stop these problems:

1. The first thing that you can try is to lift the power brick up off the floor, as this will help with cooling, the best thing to do is to place it on an open cardboard box and then the fans inside the power brick can pump out air on all sides.

2. Secondly make sure that if you keep your console in a display case that you lift it up and out of the case and put it somewhere where he can get more air, as the console then he has one fan on the back this can also help with cooling. Try placing in near an open window for best results!

3. Lastly it is a good idea to invest in a nyko intercooler which is a fan that goes on the back of the console and you probably guessed gives it more cooling. You can get these quite cheaply and there are normally about $20.00.

If the above tips have not worked for you then you will need to either send it back to Microsoft, or repair the problem yourself using a good Xbox 360 repair guide. If you send it back to Microsoft you will have to wait for up to four weeks to get a repair.

However, if you are going to get a repair guide make sure that you get one that has a full guarantee and also a preview of the videos that you get. I have seen a lot of these Xbox 360 repair guides that claim to give you videos that they do not offer a preview. So when you finally do get the guide you will not know what you're getting!

I hope this article has given you some tips to fix your Xbox and hope you are able to get back to your games soon!

Happy gaming!

Xbox 360 Repair

AP - After more than two weeks of virtual silence on the economy, President-elect Barack Obama's transition team burst on the scene with new ambition and urgency Sunday, demanding swift passage by Congress of a massive two-year spending and tax-cutting recovery program.

If Square Enix follows through initial reports and statements of patching and in-game advertisements, gamers might just see a game character using a too-real mobile phone or eating a burger. Yoichi Wada, Square Enix's main man, announced the company's new PS3 games development program. In a meeting with third-party company bosses, Wada discussed advantages of keeping PS3 games console online. He talked about three major benefits including trial chapters, in-game advertisements, and software updates.

Similar to the marketing strategy of PC game developers, Square Enix is looking on producing PS3 games by episodes called trial chapters. This move actually benefits gamers as Wada talked about a system of game distribution where gamers download the game's first chapter and buy later installments. In a way, gamers won't have to worry about shedding big bucks because the games are expected to be priced lower than buying the whole set at once. Some skeptics believe otherwise, saying that the total cost of the installments are actually more expensive than buying the whole set. They attribute this to the fact that each game has to be fitted with the Blu-ray technology which is expensive. I side with Wada on this one. Buying a whole set of a single game is not an advantage if you find in the second level that it's not exciting anymore. With trial chapters, you can choose what episode to buy and play.

A feature of the new system I am wary about is in-game product plugging. Wada explained how advertisements will be included in PS3 games that are not exclusively for online use. If you're thinking that there is no way Square Enix can sneak a commercial product in the new Final Fantasy, think again. Cloud Strife managed to do it with Advent Children. There is no reason why Square Enix and Wada can't. Game purists, myself included, certainly do not want golden arches or a big, red can of soda interfering with our game by filling our minds with thoughts of junk food. We get wasted enough playing games for hours, so don't compound it grease and sugar rush.

I am not decided yet about the software updates. Wada didn't use the term "patch" - figures, because the man rarely speaks English - but explained a system similar to patching. The system is expected to effectively bring new PS3 games faster on shelves or in the E-Distribution Initiative platform by cutting production time. Game developers are expected to reduce debugging time because they can patch games later. Reduced debugging gave us Oblivion which, I must say, is a very unsatisfactory game. I doubt people will be pleased to find out that their $60 games are not debugged enough. Bugs destroy gaming experience. Period.

To Square Enix, I am all for trial chapters but I am thinking twice about software updates and in-game advertisements. To all other gamers, let's just hope that Square Enix doesn't get too occupied patching. I mean, it's enough that Sony is in love with PS3 and Blu-ray. Just give us our PS3 games. Not all people have the patience to wait for months when their Toyotas are stuck in walls and their PS3 games are frozen.
