What have I been missing and how long have I got?

Hi Guys and Girls,

Just spent the afternoon 'working from home' actually fixing my RROD XBox elite.

First question is; what are your experiences when you fix RROD, does the fix last long? My XBox didn't actually RROD, but the graphics would artifact and then then hang/crash (but no red ring).

So I did the fix where u remove the xclamps and reapply thermal paste. Hope its ok i used my own thermal paste...

Second question: What have I been missing!? I havent really properly played xbox for two years! I have a good PC, so twitch FPS shooters on console are a no I'm afraid.

I basically like Racing, Fighting, CO-OP, Arcade, RPG gaming on an XBox. What do you reccommend thats come out over the past couple of years?

1. Go on a gaming site
2. Look at the Top Ten List for xbox games for each year.
3. Or try Top 50 list
4. Job done

5. No red ring? Sure it wasnt overheating? Small room, covered vent holes?
6. Its ok you used your own thermal paste.

SSF4
Gears Of War
Elder Scrolls
Need For Speed
Fifa 12

That should keep you busy

Impossible to say how long it'll last. I've done hundreds of the things, most last at least 6 months, some are still going strong 12+ months later, some only last weeks.
