XBOX 360 Problems
 

So I just got my 360 on Sunday Aug 26 and already when I play madden for more then one game it starts screwing up, Like if I'm the Skins the red from the stadium starts growing into these huge blobs and then the system freezes. I'm hoping to exchange it Monday since I'll be out of thown all weekend. that has to be the system overheating or something right, wouldn't anything with the game? This has really soured my enjoyment of the 360 not even a week in! hopefully they let me buy the extended coverage on the exchange.

did you at any poiny pick up the 360 and hear a grinding sound while you are playing?

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

I believe it made that sound when it would freeze

when it makes that sound you must immediately turn the game off because the disc is being stratched up when that happens.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

yeah I shut it off as soon as it froze but there's no marks on the disc,
Is the disc drive bad then? Either way I'm exchanging that shit

either the drive or look dep into the disc do u see a ring around it.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

I'm at work right now, so can't look so the disc can cause that? hmm... maybe I need to exchange both just to be safe, I don't have any other games to test either.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

It's weird though it usually happens after one game or an hour of play

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

yeah they both can cause that. happened twice to my 360 madden

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

Figures I finally break down and get one and I get one of the Turds. LAME
I think I'll try swapping the madden disc first and then if it happens again, exchange the system to, thanks for the help Quake I knew the Xbox had alot of problems but I didn't expect to see them a week after getting it.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

Does it do this with any other games?

Could be just a bad disc.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

If the drive is making a grinding noise, that has to be a hardware issue. Gates needs to whip his sweatshop workers into shape!

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

see thats the issue I don't have anymore gaes to test it out seeing as I just got it, but then when I was playing a demo of Amped last night the graphics kinda wigged out to and thats on the hard drive, So I'm thinking I need to exchange both just to be safe since they are so new.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems

Microsoft gives them all 1 year warranties now i thought, anywho just kick it untill the red light pops up and send it to microsoft, maybe even try the towl trick i heard that works too.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

it is 3 years now.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

I remember back when I had my first 360 and the red circle of doom came up and I thought I had fried my system but noticed when I detatched the HD the system worked fine and it was just the HD that was fried and there was no need to buy a new system just a new HD. Saved a bunch of money.

Re: XBOX 360 Problems
 

My 360 died this morning. It was one of the original crappy ones.

I called Xbox this morning and they are replacing it no questions asked.

Hmmm, it will be interesting to hear if your new one has [URL="http://www.redskinswarpath.com/395017-post20.html"]HDMI[/URL]. Maybe mine will "go bad" too.
