  1. The XBOX 360 did have overheating problems, but a stunning move by Microsoft has changed all that. First off, all new systems are equiped with new and better heatsinks to keep the CPU cooler. Also the warranty for overheating was extended to 3 years instead of 1.

    The library of backwords compatible games grows larger every day. Usually all you do is pop in the game, and it downloads the driver automatically.

    I suggest the 360, but it is not the best for everyone. My advice is to look around first, and play each system beforehand if possible.

  2. I have a PSP, and a PS2. The best fighting game I know of is BattleFront for PS2, it ‘s also on PSP.
