Post by: WC Iz Active on January 02, 2007, 01:35:06 AM
it has froze twice in a row while I was playing NBA2K7 which is mine w/out a single scratch on the disc.  FUCKIN LAME!  And I love the graphics and gameplay of the 360 its amazing but this is some bullshit.

At first I was playing all of my games with the system laid down and I was told that its better for the 360 to always have it stand up.  Well none of these problems started until I played games with the system standing up and one thing I have noticed is when you have the system stand up its hard to put the disc in perfectly cause the disc falls a little in the slot cause the 360 is stood up,  could I be the cause of these problems?

i doubt it. i've had freezing problems before and i have always kept the 360 laying down. where is your power brick located? is that shit getting good circulation?

PS3's arent worth the money right now. I'd rather get a Xbox 360 Premium + HD-DVD add-on

xbox 360 premium w/ the hd dvd add on is the same price as the 60gb ps3 that already includes blu-ray...though im sure blu-ray will flop just like beta max did....you can't say its not worth the money if you're going to spend that much on a 360

i'm more of an xbox fan anyway so i'd rather have a 360...but its a little different for me because i won't be buying the hd dvd add on anytime soon

dude if you're upset with freezing DO NOT get a PS3, my cousin has one and it's a fuckin bitch.  And while playing PS3 at EB Games that shit froze as well, freezing is just something that comes along with a system, mine froze yesterday and i didn't get mad i just restarted the muthafucka.  There's so much data running through those discs that sometimes you're going to have that problem not matter how new or how expensive the system is.  I would recommend that you don't play games while your 360 is standing only because if that shit tips over.......your game is pretty much fucked after.

^ Yeah, I actually think the freezing is related to some of the games, especially Rainbow 6; I don't know how many fucking times i've been shot and had it freeze immediately, great game but it has some kind of issues going on lol. NBA Live was the only other game that would consistantly give me troubles but it was a dirty disc error on a brand new disc, so fuck that game. I've had every system that uses cd's freeze on me at one point, computer included, so it's not a 360 only retardation. Mines still thriving and it was a launch system.

ive had my 360 since august and its only froze once, keep the system laying down, i learnt this from the old style ps2 i had it standing up and it fucked up and scratched loads of my games, also make sure the system keeps cool (maybe unplug it from the mains when finished with it)
