System inquiry here

My xBox recently crapped out on me.  By that I mean it no longer reads discs of games, dvds, cds, and etc.  I've tried using the popular laser lens cleaner discs, but they are to no avail.  This is suprising to me given xBox's sterling reputation of building quality systems.  Have any of you had a problem of this magnitude with your xBox?

Haven't had any problems like that with mine.But our XBOX doesn't get played much.We have 3 PS2's that get played constantly here.Our GC gets played more than the XBOX.

Wow, three PS2's, that's a lot of hardware.  I myself have gone through 4 in 5 years.

This one PC game, Rise of Nations has really had me hooked lately. I love RPG's but imo nothing beats the GTA series,especially San Andreas.I got it the day it came out and I still play it regularly.   I can't pick a favorite. I like the enviornment and feeling of GTAIII best, but VC was the most fun for me, and San Andreas is very different from the rest. They are all great. I loved the feel of Liberty City in III,it reminds me of my city sorta(Baltimore),but Vice City was the one I REALLY got caught up in because I spent some great years(from 14-24 years of age)in the 80's and everything in that game was a nostalgia trip for me. I agree SA is very different from the rest but I love the freedom of an entire state,and I like how they added some RPG elements to the game(eating,leveling up weapons and driving/flying/cycling/boating skill,etc.).

Yea, all the new things were a nice additon. Also San Andreas is so huge, it's fun just to explore.

III   Reminds you of Baltimore eh? I guess it can represent any city..I've heard LA, Chicago but personally, it reminded me of New York City, just 20 minutes from where I live. I think that's probably because one area of the game was called Trenton...the capitol of my home state.

ah sh*t!

IS SUPER MARIO RPG SAFE????

 GAMING THREAD-PROG ARCHIVES
Recent reports show increased needs for veterean gamers to return to the old days of SNES and Mario, not world, not three, but RPG.  Top GameTologists have concluded that the need to play SNES Mario RPG may be a leading cause of diabetes, blindness, erectile disfuction, and plaque.  The plaque is crucial because there is no dentist on ProgArchives.  Other reports from a doctor AtLossForWords express that the need for SNES Mario RPG is retroactive and degenerative.  The graphics and sound of Mario RPG can only get worse compared other other games and systems.  Dr. AtLossForWords reccomends playing N64 as a safe alternative to SNES.
