You have a faulty laser lens. They die after a while. If you're xbox is fairly new you can call up microsoft and register your box and ask them to fix it. They'll ship it to a repair center free of charge and adjust the... well, you don't need to know details, they'll fix it :)

Mine, unfortunately, I'm not quite so lucky. Mine's expired so I have to replace the entire laser lens assembly. Thank goodness I'm technically minded.

Well if he had a faulty laser lense the "older games" would freeze also. He said it only did it with the new games. Also i think your laser lense wont go Faulty if you take good care of it. i got my x-box the day it came out and it is still working.

Microsoft fix the xbox for you free I think. Someone said this once in a mag and the replier also said this. Im quite certain you can still get it free if you call up microsoft but im not COMPLETELY certain...

I hope they do as Ive heard so many great comments regarding microsoft support fixing xbox's for you.

Also, I know someone from school who got a busted xbox and he sent it to them and got it back in a few days (i think) just call up customer support (i think...again) and enquire about it.

EDIT: BTW im from the UK and the mag was a UK mag but Im quite sure it is for canada and US too...
