Dead Space 2 Xbox 360 Cheats
How to use these cheats
Button names refer to the Xbox controller — A, B, X, Y, the LB/RB bumpers, LT/RT triggers and the D-pad. Unless told otherwise, enter codes from the pause or options menu, or while playing. Some cheats disable achievements for that save — keep a separate save before you start.

Infinite nodes, semiconductors and money: In Chapter 15, go to the final room containing a store and save point, then backtrack down the corridor to the locked Node room holding two Power Nodes, a Ruby Semiconductor and other items. Collect everything, return to the save point, save and reload. The items respawn, so repeat as desired.
