The art to good shooting lies in the ability to aim at where your opponent isn't, and miss.

Crashes mean nothing. Especially when playing Oblivion. Every computer crashes now and then, and a 360 has to handle these big games.
If your 360 crashes a lot, then your power box thing probably isn't being kept cool, just don't put anything on it and keep it well ventilated.

The position of the 360 doesn't make any difference. I have had my 360 standing vertically since day 1 and have had no problems.

@person who started this topic:
As everybody else has said, you should have just sent it in to M$ and got a replacement.
Also, buying a 360 to play Halo 2 is a waste of money.

The one I got in February works like a dream.


Although I got my after waiting twelve hours in front on Sam's Club on November 22nd, and yet, it works perfectly. The reason yours probably broke was because you didn't take care of it.

You aren't tipping it over during play are you?

It isn't a very good idea to do that while the disc is spinning at around 5k rpm.

That only scratches the disk, not break the console
I have a question, when im in Oblivion(360) it'll freeze for a sec when i try to talk to somone(NOTE: This happens only once in a while) and then it sounds like one of the fans went out(usually i can hear the 2 fans blowing from a distance) yet it doesnt even get any hotter.

Mine crasses occasionally, but not very often. I've had no permanent problems. Every other system I'ved used has crashed, so I find this to be better since it hasn't done it as much.

They'll release patches guys. Don't panic. The Xbox 360 is a computer now!

I got one a couple of weeks ago. pretty good to me. The updates fixed alot of stuff.

I agree with your title. All I play on the 360 is Halo 2. I will buy GRAW pretty soon cuz the demo was so sweeet.


Hahahaha- I really really don't understand why some of you would pay 400 for a new system that has some great games, and just play Halo 2 on it? I mean, to each his own, but still- it boggles my mind.

Anywho- I did hear that playing it vertically MIGHT cause problems, but if you guys that do it aren't having any, then it's all good- I still keep mine horizontal just in case. Also, the only time my box has froze has been when playing Oblivion as well.

Lol you guys think thats bad, I can't wait to see the crashes when the PS3 launches. As many people know Sony has some of the worst hardware launches in the industry. Just look at the fiasco that was the PSP.

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!

Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

I have had problems signing into halo 2. when i go to sign in there is only two options either don't sign in or register new account. all my accounts will be missing, but it only seems to happen if i turn the thing on and plug in the network cable after the power is already on. As soon as I shut it off though it works just fine.

  • 07.01.2006 8:36 AM PDT

thats what happens to me except restarting it doesnt fix it.

i have to go into the dash and sign in there, then restart the game.

Some of us do so just because we can, and to be honest in my opinion there really aren't that many great games out for the 360, I mean at least nothing that i will ever want to play through again in ten years like chrono trigger or mega man x, but we will see there is halo 3 coming out and blue dragon
