Open Question: Was this a good deal I made with my 12 year old cousin for this summer?

First I'll tell you about my cousin Thomas, he's in the 6th grade, smart kid if you ask me, every time I look him every season or every couple months he has long hair like girl hair like right about his shoulders, pretty good at hockey, and is a very nice person to everyone, and just the bad thing about him is he doesn't know like its long and it needs a clip, but he does know what the weather is in the state we live in this summer, so that's why he probably accepted the deal/agreement we made together. Now I'll talk about me a little bit, I'm in the 8th grade, one of the smartest kids in math in my whole school which has 779 students, was clearly the best basketball player on my middle schools team this year, one of the top pitchers in the game when I played little league baseball like 4 years ago, and still one of the best pitchers on the big ball field, I clip my possess hair and have my possess haircutting stuff, and I have been doing my possess hair since September 13th, 2009, and everyone in school says I do a great job on mine, and I'm also one of the nicest kids in my middle school for the past 2 and 3/4 years. My 12 year old cousin Thomas and I have made an agreement together of what were going to do this 2010 summer, and I had to arrive up with the deal like the stuff I had to give him in order to clip his hair this summer. He first suggested that the only way I clip his hair this 2010 summer is that I give him $ 50 bucks in every cash. I accepted it, but then I told him isn't $ 50 bucks to much? He said,'' Idk, any other offers for me? So here's the offer that he and I agreed on for this 2010 summer. I give him Fable 1, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 3, and Spider Man 1 for every xbox/ xbox 360 to give my 12 year old cousin a # 2 every over buzzcut, and he accepted it. Do you think it was a good deal I made with my 12 year old cousin Thomas, and why or why not?

Open Question: XBOX 360 Two Red Rings?

*YES, THIS SEEMS LONG, BUT JUST READ IT. DONT TLDR ME, THANKS A LOT* I was just getting home from school today, and I sat down to play some MW2 before starting homework. I turned my XBOX 360 Elite on, and started MW2 up. I went to a Third Person Cage match to kill some boosters, and after a while I noticed that the XBOX 360 fan was very noisy, and almost, like made a beeping sound from going so quick. (Not constant though.) After like a minute more, the thing stopped completely, cease displaying anything, and the first and third player lights started flashing red. I instantly turned it off, and ran to my pc to check out what was going on. Wikipedia told me it was because of an overheat, so I went back to check the temperature, but it wasn't warm at every. I had only played for like 10-15 minutes anyway. I go to microsoft support page, it suggests I should move it to an open space, where it can "breathe" properly, and to let it chilly for an hour or so. I turn it back on after 1,5 hours (roughly), and the same thing happens. It starts, but after a while it turns itself off, flashing two red lights. (still first and third player.) I go to my pc again, but leave it ON, thinking the fans could do some cooling or something. When I arrive back, after a minute or two, the first and second lights are flashing red. I check the internet for it, but didn't find anything with that combination of red lights. As I always do when I cant find answers anywhere, I turn to Yahoo Answers. I had to make a new user this time, seeing I have this minor rivalry with a lot of PS3-guys, who every claim that "PS3 IS A LOT BETTER BCUZ IT DOESNT BREAK SO EASILY". Oh well, anybody ever experienced this, or have a solution of some sort? I'm not sure if I still have warranty on this thing, seeing how it is at least two years old, and bought in a foreign country. (Yes, it was bought at a reliable chain-store, it's not a fake of some sort.) Thanks for any help. I really need this thing fixed as soon as possible. Oh, and if it is at every relevant, my AC-adapter was green the whole time the XBOX 360 was on, and orange the whole time after the XBOX 360 turned itself off. My XBOX 360 is a little more than 2 years old. It was bought in Denmark.

Open Question: Xbox 360 image solution?

I am currently playing Xbox 360 on a little Sanyo 13" or 15" TV... very tiny... and the thing that bugs me so much is that for almost any game I play, every the letters are tiny white text, and on this TV it just looks like a blurry line of white. I am looking for a very inexpensive solution and I read about monitors with a DVI-D input, and buying a HDMI to DVI-D cable. Only problem I look with this is that I cannot find an inexpensive monitor that is HD. My question: Will any monitor with a DVI-D work, even if I use HDMI output? (Will HDMI output work on a not HD monitor?) Also, if anyone knows of an inexpensive monitor I would greatly appreciate a link. =) I'm sure using an LCD monitor instead of a tiny projection TV will bring me the clarity I'm looking for. Thanks! =D

Open Question: How do you transfer save files between gamertags?

Like the question says, is there any way to transfer keep files between gamertags on an Xbox 360? I got the new Limited edition Final Fanatsy XIII Xbox 360 bundle after my old Xbox broke, but couldn't set it up to Xbox Live at the time to recover my old gamertag. So I made a new one and am 16 hours through Final Fantasy XIII, and I don't want to start over after I recover my old gamertag so my friends can look my achievements (lol). So, is there any way that I can transfer my Final Fantasy XIII keep file from my new gamertag to my old one after I recover it? Oh, and fanboys - not today. This is just a question, not a battleground for a war.

Open Question: Why are the JRPGs better on Ps3 but the Western RPGs are better on Xbox 360?

Star Ocean the Last wish Eternal Sonata Tales of Vesperia better on ps3. every Japanese. Fallout 3 Dragon Age origins Oblivion (far more DLC and graphics are about the same considering the higher resolution on the xbox 360 and slightly quicker loading) Better on Xbox 360 and every American. BTW, I am aware that the PS3 is japanese and xbox 360 is American so you don't have to mention that. Both these answers don't make any sense...

Open Question: should I get an xbox 360 arcade or elite?

My partner and I are starting a long distance relationship...at least for a little while. He plays video games, but I don't. However, I thought that it would be fun to receive an xbox 360 so that I could play a game with him live. I am not considering becoming a gamer....i have way too much work to do! Is the xbox 360 arcade sufficient for playing a game live with him (I know I would have to buy a headset and cable separately...but it would still arrive out much less expensive.) What would be the disadvantage of having the arcade model as opposed to the elite?

Open Question: DNS issue between Xbox360 and router?

I have an Xbox 360 thats connected to a wireless router which is connected to modem. My desktop computer is also hardwire to the router but i cannot connect to the internet on my computer or connect to xbox live because of a DNS mistake. I have automatically and manually put in the DNS address and when the computer and Xbox are connected to the modem individually they both work fine. It seems the problem is between the router and the computer/Xbox. I have seen a couple people with this same problem but it doesnt seem like anyone has the answer. I contacted my service provider but they NEVER provide me with help and just worsen the situation by telling me to disconnect the router instead of telling me how to fix it.
