I am having the same problem. I installed to the hard drive thinking that might help... no luck. It just freezes in the Campaign at the same point every time.

The only thing in common that most people have who are having this issue is that it is a launch console. Some people have an original 20gb hdd, where as Im using a 60gb so I doubt the hard drive you use is the culprit.

The 109 dollar one isn't guaranteed to work either though. Only the slims are.

I heard a story today that this is happening to a whole shipment of games that a local GameStop received. I'm not sure if that's true, or proves that there are problems with the disc, but it's something.

Still no word from Bungie? Probably still celebrating the release of their game.

Keep it bumped.

surprisingly no. while its only been 7 hours since this thread was created I would have still expected some sort of acknowledgment.

I knew something like this was going to happen ever since the beta completely stopped working for me.

I tweeted the issue to Bungie (can't hurt). This whole situation is frustrating because currently it all just feels like a waste of money. :/

  • 09.14.2010 10:36 PM PDT

Well, while I wait I can still gaze for hours at my awesome noble team statue.

  • 09.14.2010 10:37 PM PDT

This sucks. I traded in 5 games for this :O. It's still fun though. I hope it's worked out tomorrow morning or we get some news.

I know how you feel. I traded in a ton of stuff to get mine as well. I'm currently doing the math on what I can trade in for a workable 360

Don't buy a new console. This game should work on any console. Microsoft and Bungie win if you buy a new console.

They priced one at 120 for me. You also need to make sure which run that particular console was a part of to make sure you don't get another incompatible system.

Controllers are going for 12.75 at the GS near me. Between that and my Power/AV cables, the cost comes down to around 60-ish bucks +tax. :/

Those of you looking to buy a new console should hold off for at least a day to find out if this is something that can be patched. Just have patience

Seriously though, something has to be done after all the time and effort some people (including myself) have put into trying to play this game. Multiple trips to and from Gamestop trying to get a new disc. This is after many of us waited up until midnight to actually get our hands on a copy only to have a handfull of disappointment instead.
