The PS3 is a great video gaming console and although it may show some defects, it is far better than most consoles being sold today. Sony has been continuously finding ways to ensure a more improved console and this is what they have achieved so far with the PS3. However, as with all things, you cannot expect anything perfect and the PS3 is no exception.

Problems with the PS3 are usually video-related issues such as not playing old versions of CDs and DVDs. Additionally, Blue Ray disk lens seems to encounter problems when it becomes dusty so it will not play or it will give you ‘bumpy videos’ that just do not run smoothly. To address this concern, what you need to first is to clean the lens using CD and DVD cleaners or you can make use of regular alcohol.

Wipe it using microfiber cloth or similar material. This usually fixes the problem right away. For videos that seem blurry, what you can do is to adjust the video resolution by setting it to the right configuration. People seem to overlook this and end up complaining about an awful resolution when it could easily be fixed by minor adjustments. Once this is done, you will notice that the resolution becomes amazingly clear.

Problems related with the PS3’s video capability are often easy to fix. You just need to understand what cause them, and know the basic steps to resolve the issue. Correct diagnosis can lead to a more accurate solution to your PS3 video-related problems, and of course, wrong diagnosis can lead to bigger problems. Learn more on how to fix your PS3 on your own; you will find that it has more advantages than you think.

Need an Xbox 360 fix? You and about 500,000 other people!

You are a candidate for an Xbox 360 fix if…

1. You have red light errors

2. Your system keeps freezing

3. You don’t want to send your system in for repairs (which cost $140 and take weeks)

An Xbox 360 fix is not hard, you don’t need technical skills, and the whole process will take less than an hour. There are step by step video Xbox 360 fix guides available that will show you everything you need to do.

If you need an Xbox 360 fix, DO NOT DO THIS

Do not wrap your system in a towel! This is a bogus Xbox 360 fix, it DOES NOT WORK. In fact, this “Xbox 360 fix” will only make your problem worse. Anyone who says you can fix your Xbox 360 red lights by wrapping your system in a towel is lying. You have been warned. Another bogus Xbox 360 fix is the hair dryer method. Some people say you can fix your system by blowing hot air into the DVD drive when it’s open. This is a total lie, do no do this.

The whole problem with your Xbox 360 red lights is…

Heat! As the motherboard heats up, it vibrates, and the GPU (graphics processing unit) comes loose. Once the GPU comes loose you have Xbox 360 red lights and your system freezes.

What is a actual Xbox 360 fix that I can do myself?

Any good Xbox 360 fix will show you how to take your system apart and put a spacer (like a washer) between the motherboard and the heat sink. This allows the system to breathe and it won’t cause the GPU to come loose anymore. Basically, for an Xbox 360 fix (that is permanent), you will need to take your system apart, clean the motherboard and GPU, and put a separator between the motherboard and the heat sink. If you are nervous about performing an Xbox 360 fix yourself, fear not. It is not a complicated process, and with a good Xbox 360 repair guide the whole process will take less than an hour. You don’t need any technical skills or special tools. It will save you at least $115, and you will be able to get back to care free gaming once and for all.

Why do I even need an Xbox 360 fix? What did I do?

The honest answer is you did nothing wrong. There is a design flaw with the Xbox 360’s that Microsoft admitted to in July 2007. They needed to make room for the DVD drive so they decided to shrink the heat sink. The heat sink then no longer kept the motherboard cool enough and now you have red light errors. The problem will not just go away if you leave it. And, as you can tell, all those bogus Xbox 360 fix tricks with a towel or hair dryer are only going to make the problem worse.

Now you know…

Now you know the cause of Xbox 360 red lights, and why you need an Xbox 360 fix. Your system will not just get back to normal unless you repair it and the sooner the better. Xbox 360 repair is not complicated, and you can permanently fix your red lights with a step by step Xbox 360 fix guide.

The last thing you want to do is nothing. You know what the problem is, and you can fix it. Best of luck with your Xbox 360 repair.

Super character

This trick requires access to Arcane University, a Chameleon spell, two rings, a necklace/amulet, any two pieces of armor (preferably a helmet and shield; you could use any armor for this, but you may want to enchant them with defensive magic later), five Grand Soul Gems with Grand Souls in them, and 8,000 gold. Go to the Chironasium (enchanting section) in Arcane University. Go to an enchanting stand and enchant the necklace, rings, and armor with a Chameleon spell using the Grand Soul Gems. Each enchantment gives you 20% Chameleon effect, so all five enchantments will make you 100% Chameleon, which is not only invisible but also allows you to attack, steal, open, and pick-up without being revealed. You can now steal from a shop without the shopkeepers doing anything. Your enemies will also just stand still unable to attack, allowing you to go into Sneak mode and attack for 4x to 6x damage, and pickpocket without consequence (except on guards who can catch you if you fail, but still cannot attack you if you resist arrest). -From: andre.morgan

Duplicate items

Equip a bow and any set of arrows, then draw your bow back. While it is drawn back, press B to go to the inventory screen. Select the arrows that you are using, then go to the item to be duplicated. Press X to drop the item, then leave the equipment screen and resume the game. The item that you dropped will be duplicated. You can pick up all the duplicates and use or sell them. The amount of copies of an item you make depends on how many arrows you have equipped. For example, 10 arrows allows 10 copies. This works with most, but not all, items and weapons. Note: Do not try to duplicate more than 250 copies of an item or the game may freeze.

Permanent enchantment

Use the following trick for duplication or a permanent enchantment. You can duplicate a drop-able item, and if that item is equipable with constant effect enchantments you can make them permanent. However, the item once made permanent cannot be re-equipped, but each enchanted item is different. You can use the “Duplicate items” trick to make as many as desired, then sell them. Use the “Duplicate items” trick with a bow an arrows to duplicate the items to make permanent. Equip one of the items you want to make permanent. There must be an unequipped version still in your inventory for this to work. Use the “Duplicate items” trick again; however, drop the unequipped version of the item you have equipped and want to make permanent. The equipped one and the others will drop and you will never be able to equip that item again, but if you check your stats the items bonuses will be permanent. You can duplicate anything that can be dropped, including Grand Soul Gems with Grand Souls captured.

This trick only works with wearable items. Take any wearable item with a magical enchantment that you wish to make permanent and use the “Duplicate items” trick to duplicate it twice so that you have two of that item. Pick up the item and equip one. While you are wearing that item, duplicate the one you are not wearing by at least four. Note: The number of arrows used determines how many copies are made. Both items will drop on the ground in stacks of two. You will now no longer be wearing that item, but will still have its effects. Note: These effects are permanent. Do not attempt this with any item with an effect you may want to remove later, such as Water Walking, Night Eye, etc.

Infinite health

Use the “Duplicate items” trick on a potion of strong health. Repeat the duplication to get the desired amount of potions. Open the inventory screen and go to the strong potion of health. Hold Y and quick link it to one of the Analog-stick directions. When you are low on health, just tap the hotkey direction to use a potion. When running low on health potions, repeat the duplication process.

Infinate recharge

Use the “Duplicate items” trick on a Soul Gem. Pick them all up. When an item is on low charge you can recharge it back to full without wasting money on Soul Gems or having to bother with soul trapping.

Infinite gold

Go to the Talos Plaza District of Imperial City and find a house owned by a man named Dorian (Dorian’s House) in the southeast section of the district. Break into his house and find him. When he tells you to leave, kill him. Do not press X to loot him and take all. Instead, take each item individually, finishing with the gold, which will not run out once it hits 8 pieces. Just keep selecting the gold he is carrying and keep pressing A as usual. Do this repeatedly, and the number of gold pieces remaining will freeze when it gets down to 8 gold pieces. It will not go any lower, but will just keep giving you as much gold as desired. Note: After you break in and he tells you to get out, talk to him. Go to “Persuade” and bribe him a lot. After that, kill him. He will now have more money to loot, which makes it easier to get more faster.

Coming onto the scene in October of 1997, the grand theft auto franchise from DMA Design and eventually Rockstar games has changed the culture of youth around the world forover a decade now. With 11 games on the street across a wide variety of platforms and 12th game Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars out in early 2009, the legacy is not dying off any time soon.

It should be no surprise that since 1997, there have been a myriad of game cheats available for GTA. Over the years, all sorts of cheats have been revealed including:

• Inifinte Lung Capacity

• Making Cars Fly

• Adding Ntiro To Cars

• Reducing/Increasing Traffic

• Driving on water

• Changing the weather (Fog, Rain, etc.)

• Leveling up weapons/health

And these are just a fraction of the total galaxy of GTA cheats out there. What makes the collection of cheats so unique as compared to other games is the fact that instead of just getting better weapons, or becoming invincible you can control virtually every aspect of the game to really change gameplay. Imagine if you could walk outside and decide to make it rain and get rid of traffic on the highway with the snap of a finger!

In fact, it is this attention to detail and varying conditions that make the game as incredible as it is and have helped lead to the long term success of the franchise. Detailed cheats to modify cars, streets, clothing, spray-paint, depth perception, etc. have all helped to contribute to a playground that can be enjoyed again and again with different scenarios every time.

Equally unique and engaging are the methods utilized for inputting GTA cheats. In older versions of the game, a series of button combinations were utilized to enter cheats. As newer versions have been release there are actual in-game tools gamers use to input cheats. For example in GTA4 San Andreas, cheats are entered by using Niko’s cell phone to enter a series of numeric strings.

As financial times tighten up, the ability to play the same game over and over by just entering a few codes will help reduce the need to buy new games every month and provide fresh, engaging game play between annual releases.

BE WARNED AS FUN AS THESE CHEATS ARE IF YOU SAVE YOUR GAME WITH CHEATS ENABLED, THINGS MIGHT GET UGLY!!!

Mario Kart is a brilliant game, and it’s even better multiplayer. We all want to be the best and beat friends and family, so here are some tips and cheats to give you the all important advantage. Wii kart cheats are littered throughout the game, but here are a few of the most important.

Many people find it much easier to control the kart using the Nunchuck and Wii remote rather than the steering wheel. The steering wheel is great for new players and people who haven’t played many racing games before, but it lacks the precision of regular racing controls.

To get a quick start, press the accelerator just as the “2″ begins to disappear. This gives a great advantage over other players if you can master it. On the same note, if you fall off an edge, when your dropped back onto the track hit the accelerator just as you land to get a good boost. This is especially useful to recover from a mistake quickly.

There are many shortcuts in the game that can be a huge advantage if your opponents aren’t aware of them. There are too many to list here, but spend some time on your own driving around the track to see if you can uncover any. You will be surprised how obvious some are when you take the time to look!

Probably the most important technique is the slide boost. If you can get a blue boost on every corner you will be streaks ahead of the competition. The Nintendo wii kart cheats available in the game often are more subtle than in other games, but nonetheless very useful, especially in a tight race.

Antti K asked:


Are you interested in purchasing a next generation console, but you’re not sure which one you’d like to buy? Are you unsure of the features of each? You’ve come to the right place. Next generation consoles such as the Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and the Nintendo Wii all have different features and are made to appeal to different audiences. You can read on below to find some of the very important differences and whether they suit your needs or not.

The Wii: The Wii is made by Nintendo. It features WiFi and a different control system which is used by attaching a sensor bar to the top of your TV. This sensor bar uses lasers to determine the position of the Wii-mote in your hand, and in turn, you can perform different actions in games with different movements of the Wii-mote. The Nintendo Wii has been hailed as the console to get gamers moving again, with several fitness minded attachments, including Wii Fit. The games on Wii are usually geared towards children and young adults which offer fun for the whole family, however, more serious games such as Call of Duty and Resident Evil are being produced for use on the Wii. If you’re looking for a unique gaming experience you can’t obtain from any other gaming system, the Nintendo Wii might be for you.

The 360: The Xbox 360 is made by Microsoft as was the first of the next generation consoles to be released. It features many improvements over the first generation xbox, including a better controller and Xbox LIVE, which is Microsoft’s content delivery system. Using Xbox LIVE, you can rent movies, buy additional games, and coming soon, stream movies from Netflix through your Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 includes a detachable hard drive which can hold games, movies, and music, which is a plus over the Wii as its memory blocks are built in. If you’re a serious gamer who plays hardcore mature games, you might be interested in the Xbox 360 for titles such as Halo 3, Gears of War, and Assassin’s Creed.

The PS3: The Sony Playstation 3 was the last of the consoles released and remains the most expensive. One of the factors which figures in to the price of the Sony PS3 is the ability to play Blu Ray movie disks. These disks are also what most Playstation 3 games use as their format, so given the processing power and the huge capacity of Blu Ray, Sony PS3 games are able to reach an unparalleled quality in visual experience. Gamers that are interested in several of the PS3 exclusive titles like Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3 might want to check out the Playstation 3. It also includes a hard drive of varying capacities, however it is not as easily accessible as the Xbox 360’s hard drive. The Playstation Network also offers free game demos and the ability to purchase games online, similar to Microsoft Live service.

As you can see, each of these consoles offers unique features which can only be found with that brand. If you’re an adventurous gamer, you might consider owning more than one of these consoles.
