I've bought 2.

The first one was a white 360 Pro 20GB. I gave that to my nephew for getting good grades :)

I replaced that one with a black 360 Elite 120GB. We love the 360 and it's games.

The 360 Pro I gave to my nephew got RRoD even with the heatpipe. I did some research and fixed it for free instead of paying Microsoft's $100 extortion fee. It's pretty easy to PERMANENTLY fix RRoD (Yes, I said it, permanently). Just crack it open, pull off the X-brackets (these literally pry the GPU off the Mobo causing RRoD... Hmmm...), clean the sinks, CPU and GPU with Arctic Cleaner and Purifier. Toss the X-brackets in the trash or use them as ninja stars. Replace with Arctic Silver 5 and some nuts and bolts.

I've fixed 2 other RRoDs for friends. NONE have failed. All of them run better than new. It's a total sham that Microsoft keeps using X-brackets that cause RRoD every year or so after you pay them $100 to have it fixed.

The 360 is a very elegant piece of engineering. The X-brackets are of such outrageously ironic and detrimental design. It makes no sense to even have them in there except to force the average joe to cough up $100 every year to fix RRoD.

Don't get me wrong. I still love my 360, it's killer performance, online experience and games. RRoD is just RRoDiculous. Get it?

Sorry to hear that. Nintendo has pretty high quality control. I'd personally take it back and exchange it. It's not a cheap unit. It should be perfect for that much money. And like the other guy said, it could lead to other problems in the future.

I checked mine and no leakage for me.

I found a work around. Build light and make a Mama Dolce's run. Come out with 13 Chinese Assault Rifles and 2 Sniper Rifles. Thx for trying to help. The Wedding still never starts and the shops still don't sell Chinese Assault Rifles. :(

Nope, this Wedding script has a tough time starting even under normal conditions. I've been to the Wedding successfully in my first playthroughs. This is a genuine bug. You can't just wait and try talking to the Priest over and over every few hours. The Priest, Angela and Diego just stay in Saint Monica's 24/7 and never leave. If you ask them about their relationship, all three of them say that they are getting married but they never get to the point where they say again "We're getting married tomorrow." Thanks for trying to help though.

I've cycled through an entire week now (game days of course) and tried every day and still no dice. Furthermore, I went to check out the Citadel's Armory to see if their inventory was any better since this bug and sadly the answer is NO. All they are selling is 10mm Pistols, Combat Shotguns, Hunting Rifles, Powerfists and weak weapons of the same caliber. NO Chinese Assault Rifles, NO Sniper Rifles, and nothing good. This is really maddening.

And yes, I know how to make money in this game. Everytime I go questing I come back with 100% repaired items and sell them to all of the shops in Rivet City in one swoop. This nets me a good 3000 caps or so per run. I've got about 20,000 caps now with this build but each run is a lot less effecient as everyone's chilling in the chapel waiting for a wedding that never happens.

What's really made this a HORRIBLE bug is again, the unavailability of Chinese Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles for sale. My character is stacked for these items: Small Weapons 100+, Sneaking 100+, Luck 10+, Agility 10+, Perception 10+, Wired Reflexes Perk, Bloody Mess Perk, Finesse Perk, Commando Perk, Sniper Perk, Action Girl Perk, Better Criticals Perk, Ranger Battle Armor (+10 Sm Weap, +1 Luck, +5 AP), Ledoux's Hockey Mask (+25AP)

My character has 140AP at any given time and pretty much gets Critical Attack bonuses nearly 100% of the time. When this character reaches level 20 she'll have Grim Reaper's Sprint which means she could literally take out a room with 20 Super Mutant Masters single handedly with V.A.T.S. before any of them could fire a shot... if only she could buy the proper equipment. I know 100% for sure that these items have become unavailable after returning to this broken wedding. I am certain the wedding bug is related to the freeze on items inventory.

And correction, Bryan Wilks just stands there and says "Hey there!" over and over and over and over and over.... Anyone know how to fix this for the 360 version please help. This bug is know on wikia as well with no remedy there either.

Thank you.

I've got the Wedding Glitch/Bug where you give Angela the Queen Ant Phermone to seduce Diego in Rivet City. I returned a few days and she told me how it succeeded and that they were getting married. Their wedding was supposed to happen the next day at 3pm. I forgot about the wedding but a few days later (in game days) I went to Saint Monica's at 2:30pm-ish and found the chapel filled with people, Angela and Diego at the front with the Father/Priest floating in the air on a rail.

So I took my seat and waited. Everyone piled in and took a seat except Bryan Wilks (who I rescued from the Them! mission). Bryan stood up and kept saying "Hello" or "What's up" something to that extent. Anyway, tick tock waiting and waiting and listening to Bryan say "Hello" like a parrot over and over and over AND THE WEDDING NEVER HAPPENS!!!

So this ritual happens every day around 3pm or so and this is why this is actually a serious bug:

1) Numerous people from the Rivet City Marketplace are absent for several hours every day making commerce excruciatingly painful which is a key element of gameplay as you NEED ITEMS AND CAPS to survive in this game and Crater Side Supply sucks compared to Rivet City Marketplace.

2) Secondly, and MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, ever since this stupid bug / glitch started, all the inventory of Flak and Shrapnel's SUCKS!!!! They only sell garbage. Ex: Hunting Rifles, Combat Helmets Basically the rubbish you find at Crater Side Supply. This is my second play through and I've spent numerous hours painstakingly building the perfect character and this bug is HORRIBLE. I have the Xuanlong Rifle now and it's my absolute favorite but I CAN'T BUY ANY CHINESE ASSAULT RIFLES EVER to repair it!!! I can only buy garbage from Flak and Shrapnel whereas during my first play through I was able to buy Chinese Assault Rifles AND Sniper Rifles from Flak & Shrapnel's.

Soooo... This is the 360 version and I've had nothing but problems since their patch and now this additional bug. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've read that I can blow away the Priest and they stop doing the wedding death loop of abstinence. I wonder if this will get Flak & Shrap to start selling decent supplies again. The only bug this patch seemed to have fixed was that after Walter dies/vanishes in Megaton HE REAPPEARS IN THE WATER SHED YAY!!!

HEELLLPP!!! :(((

This is really ruining Fallout 3 for me. I've found so many A and B bugs post patch its absurd. I have to save every 5 minutes. I LOVE this game when it's working.

Hi, I'm kind of new to posting to these types of forums. I tried reading up on this as best I could.

I still haven't received my Gears of War 2 Emblem. I hope that I am posting in the right place to have this fixed here.

Thanks for your help!

@Shadow Tongy - I have:

PS3 80GB MGS4 U.S., 360 Elite, Wii, DS Lite, PSP Slim GOW Edition, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, Atari 2600, PC :D

@All - I am definitely going to get:

1) FFIV remastered for DS Lite

I dunno about FFXIII, I really didn't like the fighting system in FFXII, it's just not my thing. I didn't like FFXII Revenant Wings on DS either. I don't know if FFXIII will have that same type of gameplay, I'm old school FF like that. I like a solid FF formulaic JRPG that centralizes narrative over "keeping up with the joneses". Futhermore, FFXIII is being released on 360 now. Which is good in the sense that more people can now have access too it, but it's bad because when a game is developed and optimized for the PS3 cell processor specifically, it is unparalleled. If they castrate the PS3 version to port a comparable version to 360, I'll just get it on 360 cuz it at least has 48 pipelines video. I was looking forward to another cell processor optimized title like MGS4. Most likely this will never happen now for FF.

For me, DEFINITELY:

1) Dragon Quest IX

But I haven't heard a single peep about it this E3 and it's still supposed to come out in 2008.

I'm also very much looking forward to:

2) Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

3) Final Fantasy IV

FFIV is out in Japan already but it's still around the corner for U.S. I loved Chrono Trigger when it first came out, I don't know if I'd want to go through it all over again. I think that was the first video game to actually make me cry. Definitely check it out if you've never played it.
