Just played the Forza 3 demo. What a tease! Graphics and physics seem to be MUCH better than 2. Can't believe how much more excited the demo has made me for the official release.

Buying a new xbox I guess, the 3 year warranty from MSFT only covers RROD.

The xbox live network is soo much better than the PS3, plus everytime I get a update on the PS3 it takes forever?

Probably some new thermal paste (and maybe the xclamp mod while you're at it) would do the trick, George, though if you're not modded it may just be "easier" for you to get a 360 arcade version and put your harddrive into it, if you don't mind spending the $150 or whatever on the arcade version. Depends on your comfort level is with taking apart electronics for a fix that may or may not work

Thanks Evan,

I has new elite now for $ 250 built in July so latest gen, found a $ 50 rebate from MSFT.

Plus I wanted HDMI anyway

I will take the original apart and try the fixes

I don't remember. I hit a sharp corner of the wall just right I guess.

I had E74 on mine and did the X clamp mod on it and haven't had a problem since.
