The Xbox 360 Repair Kit claims to be the number one guide on how to fix the three red light problem, or the infamous "three red light ring of death" error for your Xbox 360. Throughout this review I will give my insights as to why I believe this is the best guide out there and maybe help you make your decision on whether or not it is the right guide for you and your situation.

You may be thinking "Well how do I know if my Xbox 360 is actually broken or not?". Most of these problems are due to overheating systems or the dvd player has gone bad. Here are a few tips on discovering if your system is broken.

1. If you look at the Power Button on your console and there are 3 flashing or blinking red lights around the Xbox symbol that means you have the red light error. This cause is mainly due to overheating of the console.

2. If you were in the middle of playing a game and all of a sudden your system shuts off and won't turn back on you have an overheating problem.

3. If you start up your system and it makes a clicking sound your dvd player has gone bad and it will need to be replaced. You can find new dvd players on ebay for under $30 and they're a quick and easy fix.

Now to let you know there are some systems that are unfixable even with the three red light error. I have come to find out from my own personal trial an error that about 94% of all system new and old are fixable. So if you buy a guide and use the techniques they tell you to use and it won't work that isn't a flag that you've been scammed. It just means that your Xbox is trashed and there's no helping it.

With this repair kit if gives many, many helpful tips and step-by-step instructions on how to fix your Xbox system. With the guide you receive step-by-step instructions, pictures to help walk you through the process, a video guide, and 24/7 email tech support. Also a FREE guide to set-up a firmware hack on your console. You may have seen these hacks on some sites. Most of them won't allow you to open Xbox LIVE while their active or will eventually corrupt your system. The hack that comes with this guide is completely safe and allows you to log into Xbox LIVE while its active.

In conclusion to my Xbox 360 Repair Kit Review I would give this guide a five out of five for quality, support, and overall knowledge in this area. If you would like to see more information about the product go to the link below.

Thursday.(AFP/File/Jewel Samad)" border="0" />AP - Iran is no longer actively supplying Iraqi militias with a particularly lethal kind of roadside bomb, a decision that suggests a strategic shift by the Iranian leadership, U.S. and Iraqi authorities said Thursday.

Folklore is a PlayStation 3 exclusive video game that will probably get lost due to the Orange Box madness, but I will try to shed some light on the game. The game is developed by Sony and published by Game Republic. Judging by the title of the game, it is fairly obvious that Folklore is a role playing game. The storyline in the game transpires in Doolin, and Doolin is a village in Ireland. Mysticism and the supernatural beings are a few of many things that haunt this village. There are two protagonists in the game named Ellen and Keats. They are immersed in an eccentric environment that is imbued with spirits and "ghosts."

Both of the playable characters in the game have separate objectives. Ellen goes to Doolin in search of her mother because she has supposedly sent a letter to Ellen (sounds eerily similar to the dead wife letter that was sent to Harry from Silent Hill 2). On the other end of the spectrum, Keats is a journalist who travels to Doolin to learn about the strange occurrences that are taking place. I found the plot to be enjoyable, but the game has a storyline that can take some time to develop. The gameplay in the game has two different settings.

A location known as The Netherworld is where the combat occurs, and the normal world is where gamers will be achieving typical role playing game tasks. When gamers are in the normal world, they will be collecting items and having conversations with various people. The normal world provides a nice change of pace from the combat. Each character's gameplay is broken down into chapters. To eliminate confusion, it is best to complete one chapter with one character and go replay that chapter again with the other character. For instance, finishing Keats' chapter first and replaying the same chapter with Ellen. I felt like the game progressed in a much more cohesive manner when I took this approach. You can mix and match chapters by playing multiple chapters from Ellen's perspective, but doing this would make the plot completely garbled. The gameplay predominately consists of acquiring souls. All of the adversaries have souls that can be absorbed and used for later use. Since each soul you gain varies, the abilities you gain is also different.

For example, one soul can perform an ice elemental damage and another can utilize electricity. Once you take in a soul, you can map if to the four face buttons on the PlayStation 3 controller. Not all souls are proficient in eradicating every foes; furthermore, you cannot expect to beat the entire game with only one sul. There are strengths and weaknesses for each opponent in the game. This makes the game somewhat balanced, but gratuitously time consuming. Personally, I found the guess and check system of finding the correct soul to kill opponents to be rather convoluted. The method needed to capture a soul is unique on its own right. This is where the six axis controller is at its best. The six axis controller is amazing for getting a soul under control, and the controls itself are intuitive. The game developers of the disaster known as Lair should meticulously take notes from the game developers that worked on Folklore. Do you hear me Lair game creators? You guys can learn so much about the six axis controller from the team that worked on Folklore. If anyone who worked on Lair is reading this, then he or she needs to give the game designers of Folklore a phone call and have a long chat about how to make the six axis controller responsive. Look at me going off on one of my tangents again. Alright, back to the review of Folklore. The frame rates appears to be smooth, but I had a problem with the prolonged load times.

Regrettably, the audio in the game is utterly ridiculous. A majority of the dialogue is shown via a comic book style. If this comic book style of story telling is tastefully done, then it works to perfection (ala Max Payne and Max Payne 2). The most egregious aspect of the dialogue is that there is absolutely no voice acting during these absurd comic book style segments. I thought the lack of voice acting was an enormous blunder in the game. There should always be voice acting in a next generation console video game (especially considering the fact that this is a PlayStation 3 video game). During the major cut scenes, there is voice acting.

Unfortunately, the voice acting is horribly done. Folklore pales in comparison in the voice acting department to other exquisite video games such as Heavenly Sword, Halo 3, God of War, and God of War 2. What the hell Sony? How could the audio in Folklore be this poorly executed? The only saving grace with the audio is the music and sound effects. Luckily, the visuals in the game are incredible. Everything that is seen in Folklore makes it seem like a fantasy. The vibrant colors looks like an extravagant piece of artwork. Environments, flora, and fauna are well designed. Folklore will take gamers approximately nineteen hours from beginning to end. Overall, Folklore is a solid role playing game. It is not as brilliant as Oblivion on the PlayStation 3, but Folklore has just enough to give gamers a reason to play.
