It was some kinda cd tray/lense or laser or whateverthe**** on it, but it was pretty cheap and was done within 24 hours.

*my old xbox used to not close or read game disks. I would jam it shut and then I would force it to stay close by holding it, whenever it would magically stay shut...it wouldn't read the game. $40.

http://www.xbox360repairnorthwest.com/ ?????never used them, but just a quick google. I would personally just go to wherever the nearest mall is at and google map the area for xbox repair.

Thanks for link .I sent them an email about my problem .Hopefully they can help.I just couldn't find any local places here .

Bring back M.O.T.H.

I really wish I hadn't traded in NCAA 11. Even with it's flaws, I really want to play that **** right now. And of course it still costs $60 bucks and I traded it in for like 15.

49erNation85 · 02-01-2011, 04:44 PM

Atl , that is why you never trade in games . Specially sports one.All you can get for them is maybe 10 bucks back .

ElectricEye · 02-01-2011, 05:11 PM

I don't trade in games anymore. I realized the damage it had done when I went to look back at my Playstation collection. I traded in a lot of games that would be worth soooo much more than I got for them back then. Valkyrie Profile and Vagrant Story can fetch more than a hundred bucks sometimes. Doesn't even matter about the cash value either, just miss having some of those games around. Gamestop is a literal incarnation of hell too. I can't even step in that place anymore.

49erNation85 · 02-01-2011, 05:34 PM

ElectricEye,
Yup I agree with you there also.I keep telling my self no trading in games but sometimes I give in for the ones I don't play or care for but I really need to stop . Lucky I think I'm done trading in games this year .You just never no when you want to play them again .

I was against trading in games to gamestop just by principle alone. The value they offer you is ********, it's not even close to fair. I'd rather just keep the game and spend the full amount for a new game or wait. That said, I totally wish I traded in Reach when I got black ops. haha Reach sucks.

I've been playing Reach a ton more than Black Ops lately. Probably because I played Modern Warfare 2 to death though. I want to pick up Dead Space 2 so I'm finally getting around to beating Dead Space. On Chapter 6 right now and its one of the better games I've played recently. Reminds me a lot of Doom III.

I hope not! Doom III was really meh to me. It was solid game but it just became highly repetitive and predictable after a while.

I just mean the audio/video/text logs and the atmosphere. Deadspace's gameplay is a lot better.

ElectricEye · 02-01-2011, 06:55 PM

Keep on chugging. Dead Space 2 is very worth it.

Jvig43 · 02-01-2011, 07:30 PM

Doom 3 had amazing atmosphere going for it however, the graphics at the time were top notch as well.

ElectricEye · 02-01-2011, 07:42 PM

I was disappointed big time with Doom 3. id always knows how to make a game look nice and are always at the technological forefront, but they've yet to step into the current generation of games gameplay wise. Rage looks like it could be something special though.

themaninblack · 02-02-2011, 02:07 AM

Started playing Reach again recently and I absolutely love it. Especially all the **** they've added since I last played.

Reach makes me a sad panda. Although we have had some fantastic NFLDC Reach nights. That one time we had like 8 of us online and we owned BTB was awesome.

I wouldn't be opposed to getting us back together.

Draft King · 02-02-2011, 12:38 PM

Reach reunion and I wasn't invited?

A Perfect Score · 02-02-2011, 12:39 PM

You're always invited DK.

Dark Souls trailer, sequel to 2009's Demons Souls. For my fellow mono-console Xbros who didn't get to play Demons Souls, let me go out on a limb and tell you guys this is going to be a great game. Demons Souls was one of the better dungeon crawlers/action RPG's to come out in awhile.

This couldn't be more true. I asked about trading in W@W when MW2 was out only a few months, they told me 2$. It was for sale in the store for 40$. There have been a ton of other instances I wanted to do trade-ins but the value was so ****** up that I just keep them for a collection. I have the last few Maddens also.

I hope I can find a good trade offer on craigslist, lots of guys post adds wanting to do trades and list 20-30 games. I'd gladly take an old Need for Speed racing game just for example over trading a game in for 5$.

ElectricEye · 02-03-2011, 12:42 PM

Ok. So I've basically decided Crysis 2 is the best console shooter I've ever played after playing it A LOT. That comes with an asterisk though, as it's only that way when everyone has a good connection and isn't playing like a ******. This is a rare occasion. Lag, buggy hit detection, and questionable autoaim are real issues and might be a deal breaker in the end. But the mechanics and things you can do in this game are so awesome. Sliding on the floor cloaked and lighting someone up with a shotgun is amazing. Air stomping someone from the top of a building is an absolute thrill(Not one that I've ever managed to pull off successfully though haha). It's a really, really great game at the core but there's so many technical issues to wade through. I'm worried about it not being ready for next month. They'll ship it anyway though because it's EA :/

Also; delicious Deus Ex Human Revolution video.

Eh, I'm not sold yet, at least on the multiplayer. I thought it was pretty generic by most standards.

Maybe if I played with someone I knew it'd be better. I imagine sticking with a buddy and cloaking together and such would be pretty fun.

It may also because I don't really like the map they gave us in the beta. I much prefer open maps with a lot of space in them, but the rooftop map feels pretty condensed.

I use Goozex.com to trade games and movies.

And I have Shining Force 3 and Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn. SF3 is worth $100+ on eBay and PDS fetches $200.

I didn't have that problem with that game, but I played it on PC. Doom 3 is awesome. id's games has sucked lately though, hopefully Rage will be good.
