A Yang asked:
If your XBox is out of warranty, even the extended warranty, when you get the dreaded three red lights, then you need some XBox 360 three red lights help.
There’s several things you can do ranging from free to not free to support.
We will discuss each to see the benefits of each and possibly some dangers that some may pose.
Let’s start with the support option. What do you get by going this route? You can rest assured that you will get a working unit back. It might take about a month’s time and $140, but you will get a refurbished unit back. Some may not choose this route just because it takes a long time to get it back. If you had a game tournament to prep for, this might get in the way . . . But if you had the money and the time to wait, then this would be an excellent choice.
Then we have the free option. If you do a search on the internet for free repair methods, you might have stumbled across either the towel method or the solder method. With these free methods, you are definitely putting your XBox 360 in danger. The towel method could seriously fry your XBox 360 permanently and the solder method could result in sparks if not done properly and with precision tools. While they are free, I cannot recommend these because of the inherent danger present in them. And these methods have not been proven permanent. They last for a few days at most and then you will have to put your XBox at risk again by doing it again.
If sending your XBox back to support is not a favorable option, then your best option for some XBox 360 three red lights help would be to get a repair guide that is not free. You will have to spend a bit of money, but it is far less than the $140 for support. You will have to put in the manual labor of about 2 hours, but your XBox will be back in gaming order in that time. No more flashing red lights, no more red circle of death, just pure green gaming glory!

Ty Magnum asked:
According to Merrill Lynch, because of the cost of hardware components, the PS3 may cost twice as much as the Xbox 360 by the end of 2006. The report includes estimated breakdown of hardware costs by component at the time of launch and 3 years from now.
The new figures show that the majority of the cost are from the Blu-Ray drive, and the Cell processor which total $580 alone. After three years, the manufacturing cost of the two will drop to $180 total.
Several months ago the same team released data which compared the cost of the PS3 to the Xbox 360 (see below). As you can see, the estimated costs of Blu-Ray and the Cell Process have increased dramatically.
On the cost of goods side, Merrill Lynch believes that the Cell processor will initially cost $230 to make which is more than the Xenon CPU which currently rings in at $100.
Though price reduction will eventually drop to approximately $30, both the Nividia’s RSXand the ATI’s cost about $70 each to produce.
iSuppli, a well know Market researcher, did a break down on the cost of all the components used by Microsoft in the Xbox 360 and found that the cost per console is roughly $525, or almost $400 dollars less than thn the Sony PS3.
The results of the report are based on the assumption that Sony will have to sell at a loss due to the estimated costs of hardware. However, if Sony is willing to be aggressive on pricing with PS3, the report concedes that many of these numbers are likely to change.

The Xbox 360 gaming console has sold over 25 million units all over the world as of today. In Japan, it has sold about 4 million units and in the United States almost 5 million units according to a recent study conducted by Microsoft, its maker. This Xbox 360 combines numerous entertainment functions such as console gaming, online gaming, web browsing and video watching. As such, it is like owning numerous kinds of technological gadgets all contained in one compact and powerful Xbox 360 unit.
Now, people can watch Xbox 360 Videos right in their very own Xbox 360 without having to use a desktop or laptop computer or even a DVD player. The Xbox 360 functions as a video player, with the same high definition functions and smooth playing capabilities like any other video player available in the market as of today. As such, Xbox 360 owners can watch those Xbox 360 Videos in their very own Xbox 360. All they need is the video file that can be viewed through the numerous USB outlets of the console itself or through downloading by using the Xbox 360’s browsing capabilities.
Truly, watching videos and movies has never been this easier. These Xbox 360 Videos that are sure to provide the much needed fun and entertainment can now be viewed anytime at one’s own Xbox 360. Not only will you save money on the Xbox 360, but you also save space since the Xbox 360 console is small in size like those laptops or DVD players, but instead of owning each individually, everything comes in the Xbox 360. As such, there is no longer a need to own the others.

Xbox 360 is a powerful entertainment system developed by Microsoft, the latest among the power gaming consoles available in the market today. It combines the features of an off-line and on-line gaming console and multimedia player all contained in one attractive package. The games that can were designed for Xbox 360 look as good as the console itself. Since all the games for this are high-definition (i.e. built for really high resolution), thanks to an Xbox emulator included in the Xbox 360, you don’t need throw away many of your favorite games.
It comes with a user-friendly dashboard interface that allows you to go through (or straight) to the options that you want by using the controller or the remote control. Its digital multimedia capabilities allow you to play your favorite movies and music and view your pictures and personal videos. You can literally throw away all your other media players and just have the Xbox 360 to provide you all the entertainment you need.
Because of the popularity of the games that can be played on the Xbox 360, it makes sense to some to develop an emulator for it so that it would be possible to play Xbox 360 games on other platforms. This is something common actually. Game console makers use this strategy of developing emulators in order to remove the “limited game” barrier that might turn off potential customers. Remember that the game console is a “necessary evil” to the ultimate objective, which is entertainment. A game console that can claim to be able to play a lot of games from Day 1 will have a good start.
There are two types of emulators. First is the software emulator that is installed in PCs to enable it to work on a different software program from the one which was originally installed. This allows the PC to accept the game software and play it. The second type of emulator is the hardware emulator which comes in the form of a hardware device or component that contains firmware that instructs the PC on what to do when particular game software are loaded.
Game software developers encourage the development of emulators because it expands the utility of their software, thereby increasing their addressable market size. By doing so, their sales potential increases by a magnitude, which translates to significant profitability.
While many say that emulators make sense, there is still a major issue regarding it. This has to do with the disclosure of specifications of the game console being emulated to the company doing the emulation. These are obviously data that game console manufacturers will be very, very, reluctant to give. It would be like committing commercial suicide for them to just give away the secrets of their products.

Jason Downs asked:
Many PS3 owners are trying to find out if it is possible to burn Playstation 3 games. If you enjoy your PS3 and you are a avid gamer, it is very important that you know how to copy PS3 games. With gaming consoles and video games costing more and more each year, you would be wise to burn and backup your Playstation 3 games.
Me personally I spend a lot of money on video games, and in the past I spent more money than I should have on video games, because if one of my games was destroyed or damaged, I would just go and buy the same game again if it was one of my favorites.
Now days due to technology and game copying software, I only have to buy my top PS3 games once. As soon as I get the game home, I put it into my computer and start the copying software and within minutes I have an exact copy of my original video game.
It is not a very complicated process at all. In order to be able to backup your Playstation 3 games you are going to need a few things. You need a DVD burner, some blank discs and the game copying software.
Once you have the software installed on your computer, all you need to do then is load your original PS3 game into your computer and then start the copying software, the software will copy data from your original game and store it on your hard drive, once that is done you will have to insert a blank disc so that the game can be copied.
And in a matter of minutes you will have an exact copy of your original video game. That is how simple it is! Now that you know how to copy PS3 games, start protecting and backing up your Playstion 3 games today.

Think of a supercomputer for computer entertainment? Sony PlayStation 3 is exactly what it is. Its polished contours and superior graphics output make sure that you are hooked the moment you get a glimpse of this gadget that you also know the name Sony PS3. Splendid visual retreat auger perfect reasons for the ones who swear by computer games. And to make it into reality, Sony has populated its device with all the best of technicalities.
First and in the foremost, the gaming console comes with a cell processor that clocks a speed of 3.2GHz. There is 256MB of RDRAM, 256MB of 700MHz GDDR VRAM and HDMI video output and first of its kind Blue-ray disk support. An RSX “Reality Synthesizer,” which is based on Nvidia technology, offers awe-inspiring 128 bit pixel precision with 1080 pixel resolution of video output.
Sony PlayStation 3 come in 20 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB versions. In all three, the connectivity options include Bluetooth (for the controllers), 802.11b (for PSP connectivity), Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 port. In addition to Blue ray, all the three forms of Sony PS3 offers supports for files in DVD, CD-ROM, CDRW, DVD-ROM, DVD+R, and DVD-R formats. In the 60 GB and 90 GB version, internal IEEE 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, multiple memory card readers (SD, multimedia Card, Flash card, memory stick) and a chrome coloured trim feature as a additional attractions.
Leaving the differences aside, all the three PS3 varieties come bundled with one SIXAXIS controller, one USB cable, one composite video/stereo audio output cable, one Ethernet cable and a power cable. In addition to match the internet TV demand, Sony has launched versions of PlayStations with IPTV support too. Leaving 80 GB, which comes with software emulation support for games of earlier versions of PS3, 20 GB and 60 GB versions offer backward compatibility for Playstation 1 and 2.
So after all the knowledge shared, do you see yourself a game for this advanced machine that plays too?
