You may recall how I've bitched and moaned lately about how my Xbox was slowly dying of Ring of Light disease, and on the even of Halo 3, too. It turns out that there is an ingenious, though temporary, fix that has put me back in the fight. It's called the Towel Trick. You wrap your dying Xbox 360 in a towel or blanket, turn it on, and leave it for 20 minutes. Come back, turn it off, unwrap it, turn it back on, and it will possibly work. As stupid as all that sounds, it did work! (The heat trapped in the console causes the solder on the connections to flow slightly, repairing broken connections.) I'm told that this reprieve will last anywhere from three days to two weeks --plenty of time to finish the fight with the Covenant and the Flood.
