I have an Xbox 360 Pro and I’m planning to order just the Xbox 360 Elite console from Ebay. Was wondering since I’m just ordering the console, will my Xbox 360 Pro cords work with the Xbox 360 Elite?

It could have happened to you already – you were sitting there on your nice comfortable couch playing your oh so lover Xbox 360, when suddenly, without giving any warning at all, your console freezes up and moving the controllers does not help. When an Xbox 360 freezes up, this can be a problem and a hassle; a third of the Xbox 360 consoles have this happen to them. Most gamers do not know why their console freezes up. One thing is for sure and that is the fact that the gaming consoles should not be crashing like this, especially when you purchase them brand new. Luckily, for the Xbox 360, Microsoft offers and extended warranty, but you will have to send your console into Microsoft in order to be repaired. We warn you that this can take a bit of time and there will not be any guarantee that it is not going to happen again. However, if you look on the Internet, you will come across many Xbox 360 repair guides that you will be able to use. There are many Xbox 360 gamers that are relieved that they will have the option to use one of these guides in order to fix their Xbox 360, instead of sending it into Microsoft, which could take awhile. There is a variety of things that could be causing the majority of the Xbox freezes. One of those factors is that the processor gets too overloaded, which is common when you have more than one gamer playing the Xbox simultaneously for hours – this console is not designed to keep playing for a long period of time as it will cause heating, and finally a crash. When your Xbox 360 freezes up, all you need to do is turn the Xbox 360 off for a couple of hours and let it cool down. You will have less of an overheating problem with your console if you use it in a room that is well ventilated. There is also some talk about taking a cold towel that came out of the freezer and wrapping it around the Xbox, but you will need to take it off as soon as it gets room temperature. While this may give some relief, it is still blocking that air circulation to your Xbox console.
