Ever since microsoft released the xbox 360 back in 2005, hardware malfunctions have been par for the course for many players. Well, its 2007 now and the problem hasnt exactly gone away, but to a certain degree it has been diagnosed and microsoft has extended their warranty support of the xbox 360 in order to accommodate owners who have become so frustrated with their merchandise.

The big issue with the xbox is overheating and microsoft finally admitted this July that this is caused by a major design flaw. Warranties have been extended from one to three years and you should also get free shipping if you choose to return your xbox 360 to microsoft for either repair or replacement if it has stopped working due to the 3 flashing red lights. Its unfortunate that they didnt simply issue a recall on the device, but I guess they do not have a better model to replace it with yet so for now dealing with the hassle of packing, returning and then waiting for them to ship it back to you -- or alternatively, fixing it yourself -- are your only two options.

If you havent had any major lock-ups or freezes yet, there are a couple of things you can do to extend the life of your xbox before it locks up on you. You need to keep it from overheating so make sure you place your xbox someplace where it has adequate ventilation all around the device. This means being sure to keep it away from any heat source such as a radiator or resting it on top of your PC tower; keeping it out of enclosed places such as bookcases or the cabinet beneath your television; and avoid placing it on the carpet, or on your bed, the couch or anyplace else where the air cannot circulate around it. I would also do a little preventative maintenance as well. Buy yourself a can of compressed air and use it frequently to make sure all of the vents on your xbox are free of dust.

If your xbox has already fallen victim to freezes and/or the 3 red lights, the first thing you should do is unplug the device and let it cool for at least several hours. Overnight is ideal. Before plugging it back in, use your compressed air to blow all the vents clean of dust and particles. If this doesnt work, then youll need to decide whether you want to place a call to microsoft and schedule your xbox for repair, or would you simply prefer to tackle the repair yourself?

Fixing the xbox 360 yourself is not difficult, as long as you are comfortable opening up the machine yourself and following instructions. just note that if you do open the xbox to repair it yourself, youll void any warranties on it. If the idea of opening up the box and working on it on your own makes you nervous, it might be better to wait the 2-8 weeks it may take for microsoft to take care of it for you.

When people want to dress well even when playing basketball or football, the clothes worn have to fit the part. this means wearing something like Fubu, nike or Reebok instead of some cheap knockoff that will get torn after a few washes.

The quality of the thread used plays a big part in the cost of the shirt. Discounts or sale events only happen when the season is about to end so if the person wants to be in style, the customer has no choice but to pay for it.

Is there no way to get a good bargain? Yes there is because there are sites on the web that buy these from suppliers at wholesale then sell it to people at rock bottom prices.

An example could be a nike pair of shorts that will cost $24.99 in the sporting goods store. Believe it not, these same item can be purchased off the internet for just $8.99. this means the customer can almost get three items for the price of one.

Things like these are considered to be a good bargain and those who want it will just have to give the credit card details and once approved, the company will have this prepared and delivered to the clients home in a few days.

There is another reason why many people are using online wholesale websites aside from the price. The individual can go online anytime since the store is open 24 hours a day seven times a week so there wont be any pressure in looking over any time before deciding to purchase it.

Though there might be a problem with the fitting, this can be avoided by going into a store and fitting a similar item.

Online sites dont only sell clothes but other items as well. If the customer is satisfied with the matching top and bottom, there are also sports accessories such as socks, shoes and bags that can be taken to the gym, court or field.

Being fashionable doesnt always mean shelling out a lot of money as long as there are online stores that are able to buy these and sell it at discounted prices. The person will just have to find it in the Internet to be able to look and feel good instead of waiting for few months to pass when these retailers go for the end of season sale.

There are many games that have been developed for the Playstation. Some are hits others are not. It is not unlikely that there are a few games that are guitar-based out there. If there are, they are nowhere close to guitar Hero's success.

guitar Hero reached an all-time high ranking as the eighth most popular game for the Playstation. And you should know what that means considering the whole lot of games developed for the Playstation.

So what makes guitar hero such a hit? It's probably the fact that it mimics the real life experience of any guitar enthusiast who ever hits stardom. Since you progress to the next level (the opportunity to play at another, usually a bigger event) once you give a sterling performance at the previous.

guitar Hero's success is not certainly unconnected to the fact that you have the opportunity of catching the thrill of a crowd yelling and thumping to your music albeit computer simulation.

guitar hero, although played usually with the included "toy guitar" interface, does not require that you be a guitar pro to get to the summit of your virtual guitar career. Like all games, it depends on just how much time you spend with it.

Furthermore, you can be almost any guitar star of your fancy. It's your turn to enjoy their celebrity status without the hassles from the press and other prying eyes. And, you can always be another guitar star whenever you like.

guitar Hero's makers, Harmonix Music Systems, were truly not expecting the kind of success it brought. Their initial thought being that most kids were no longer interested in rock music having fallen for hip hop. Well, guitar Hero's success might be proving otherwise. Or maybe, it is proving that once it is a great game that helps people fulfill their fantasies, they will go for it.

If you've always longed to be a guitar hero, if you've ever wanted to meet with rock hall-of-famers, if you've ever wanted to be the toast of a great crowd, guitar Hero's waiting to give you your opportunity.
