Here's the story: My Xbox 360 was acting up. It was taking absurd amounts of time to read games. It still worked but it just irritating. So my dad suggests sending it in to get it fixed. I had enough of my Xbox and that point so it gets shipped out. It just got it back today and my hard drive is gone. I don't remember hearing anywhere not to send in you hard drive but now I feel screwed over. Is there any hope in getting my precious memory back?

Hmm...I haven't really played Metroid Prime: Hunters. I'll have to look into that. Any other suggestions?

Forgot about Mario Kart. But I already have it and I'm looking for something new. I don't really know, just something to entertain me for a long bus ride that I can play against my friend.

I'm taking a school trip next month and I want to get a good competitive DS game to play against my friend for the bus ride up. Something fun to play against people but a good single player would be nice too. Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Oh, and no Pokemon. I'm trying to break the habit.

I'm a patient guy but I've finally had enough of my current Xbox. I've had the thing for over a year and a half and it still technically work but it has trouble reading disks. I can usually get it to work after a few (dozen) tries. It took me 30 minutes the other day to get Gears of War 2 to work. I've finally had enough and I'm thinking about buying a cheap arcade system and just keeping my hard-drive. My only worry is that after I drop the cash for an arcade, microsoft may drop the price...do you think that there's a chance of that happening soon?

Should I replace my dying xbox or hold out for a bit?

Strike Gunner comes to mind. Still play it here and there.SupaMarioPlumma

Wow, your good. I used to play it a lot but I never remembered the name. Thanks a Canadian tonne

Alright sounds like a good idea but is there a quick way to get the third level?Karstux

I hear good things about the IRON BOOTS.

I've been trying to remember an old shmup for the SNES. You play as some sort of fighter jet (blue) and if you had a second player they played as a red jet. You could choose different secondary weapons, the one I remember was a huge lazer that was one shot but killed bosses in one hit. It sounds pretty generic but it had kickin' music but I can't remember what it was called. Also, it scrolled vertically if that helps anyone.

that question is so uber circumstantial, its not even worth spending any more word on. Please be 500% more specific.BiancaDK

I'm not here to share my story. I'm just curious as to what other people would do in a situation like this.
