The steady stream of H3 montages are for the H3 Film competition. Here's the latest entry ... Trigger Down's Hysteria & Neighbor.
YouTube- Neighbor & Hysteria Dualtage by Phurion Films

A bit on the artistic side, but I dig it. The film is original. Get past the acting stuff, the gameplay is nuts. They're laying out the best around.
That video is pretty beast.

If he's still under warranty, I strongly suggest sending it back to MSFT. They will upgrade the internals and attempt to reflow / resolder the GPU to the mobo better than I can do.

If he's out of warranty, no labor charges, only shipping & hardware (based on what you wanted done). To get the RRoD fixed, it's about a 2 hour job. Cleaning the processors is the most tedious thing to do.

The fix will get an undetermined amount of use back out of the console though. Some people say that their machines have been running for over 2 years with it, some RRoD again in 6 months. It all depends on the severity of the board warping.

If Mike RRoD'd by playing Halo 3 every night for 5 hours, then the fix might not work as well.

If he doesn't care about Xbox Live either, I'll see if I can flash the DVD rom to read DVD-R DL's too. No more buying games.

On top of the services posted earlier (6 items), I learned a new trick today.




This is done using a 2.5in Western Digital 250GB Scorpio HDD from Amazon ($45). I'm waiting for a HDD transfer cable to come in so I can remove the profiles / save data from the 20GB it's replacing.

Yeah, his xbox is from my original xbox that RROD'd which was replaced with this box from microshaft.

That was about 3-4 years ago. No warranty.

He will probably want to still be able to go on live with it, but I will ask.





And that HD swap is badass. Too bad they just don't let users mod their systems without banning.

Gotcha. The RROD fix will last a poop ton longer if you pop one of these on too.

Amazon.com: Xbox 360 Intercooler TS: Video Games Amazon.com: Xbox 360 Intercooler TS: Video Games

It's a great design over the originals.
- Externally powered
- Thermal sensing, so the fans stay on even if the system is off, but still hot.

When I popped open the Elite (former H3 machine with an Intercooler EX), there were dust streaks inside the case. I could see how the cooler was pulling air through the system.

The DVD rom in the 360's are crap too. If they're not generating heat, the lasers are dying. If the lasers aren't dying, the motors fry out.

With the 250GB HDD, I'm going to install many more games.

The newest style of console banning is nasty too. They cripple the console by locking out HDD & USB access. The only thing you can do is play games w.o saving.
