I got them from my local game store that I work at. I will ask the owner where he gets them from

 

[AkIRA_22]

BOOM!

Went nuts today. I bought the first two issues of Walking Dead a few days ago in Melbourne, then had to get the next four when I got back home to Sydney.

And I found an EB that was selling Red Dead Redemption a day early so I went for it.

Lucky # Slevin Blu-Ray

 

[GeekyDad]

My first fight stick. I know it's no Cadillac, but it should suit my needs. TvC was a rental, but my whole family ended up loving it. So, we had Gamefly ship us the box and whatnot.

Forty for the SE stick. I'm pretty dang satisfied.

Grabbed Red Dead Redemption photo'd in my new car, I really hated RDR at first but once you get immersed into the world, it's incredible how amazing this game is. Excuse the bad pic, only thing capable of taking pics was my crappy blackberry.

The car in question: 2010 GTI MKVI

 

[mjc]

I love the interior of that GTI!

Got sealed copies of both the Dragon Quest games, but the spine on DQIV is all cut up from a razor.

 

[Manus]

Yes, love Angry Birds! Bought it yesterday and already through 82 levels.

 

[xero273]

It's possible. My sister did the same to my 360. Forgot what she bought though. She did something to the heatsink and 360 came back to life. Too bad that only lasted two days and it red ringed again.

 

[popsicle_sundays]

I love the interior of that GTI!

Thanks , it's absolutely fantastic inside. Having things like lumbar support, heated seats, and the overall comfort of the seats make my daily driving so relaxing.

Not to mention very roomy, I'm 6'5 and I have so much room it's unreal.

Basically people do the penny trick or X clamps and over heat the 360 into thinking its a different problem. Then it will reset off the RROD, but it isn't a permanent fix, the system will eventually RROD again -- or so I have read.

Doh! Happened to me too when I got my very first DS game (Metroid Prime Hunters). Was a sour note to start the system off on, but I of course, things never stopped getting better after that game-wise.

 

[ZZMitch]

I lol'd

 

[Square Triangle]

Pick up of the month. Gawd I want this car.

 

[vejas]

Sorry for crappy cellphone pic! Espgaluda II was the first print edition so I got the soundtrack which was unexpected!
The 24" CRT TV was given to me by a friend a couple of weeks ago, and I have had my EX-SE since its release in the US, so playing Futari on this setup is a dream come true.
Also pre-ordered Deathsmiles LE and Sin & Punishment 2.

 

[Flek]

 

[DCharlie]

Whats the name of this model and where can I get it? Is it a Sharp?

it's just a bog standard casing - screwless - with a built in fan.

Will check the model tonight.

 

[Efrendal]

Some western action game noones heard about and since Yakuza 3 was on sale at Game.co.uk for £17, i couldn't resist:

Basically people do the penny trick or X clamps and over heat the 360 into thinking its a different problem. Then it will reset off the RROD, but it isn't a permanent fix, the system will eventually RROD again -- or so I have read.

That's.... that's not even remotely the problem. You can't "trick" the product into thinking the problem is something else.

The RROD is almost always caused by overheating, which causes the solder on the GPU and/or CPU (which I believe are both under heat sinks) to soften (but not completely melt (the Xbox gets hot, but not that hot)), and the motherboard (on any product really) flexes and bends with heat.

Using the GPU as the primary example, the more times this happened, the further away up the GPU moves. So instead of being directly on the motherboard, after 10 or so uses, it's now maybe an inch off the motherboard.

The X-Clamp fix is primary uses to clamp the heat sink and GPU together, thus not allowing that area of the motherboard to flex or bend too, too much.

An old elite my friend gave me had was failing with the RROD primarily due to the GPU. A friend of mine did this X-Clamp fix (as I'm not too handy with tools (butter fingers)) and it worked for about a year later. When it did stop working, it was due to the power supply failing. By this point, I just went back to using my launch console, which is still working to this day.

Got this delivered today. Book seems interesting, but I didn't give it much attention and went right to playing the game.
