I got a 2 year warranty with compusa..if it goes bad I'll just go to the store and have it exchange for a fresh new one out of the box.

Good looks man, hope everything gets better with you.

Mine will occasionally freeze, but only when it gets a tad too toasty from being on too long.

The reason Oblivion frezzes is because of code issues this has been stated by Bethesda.

Sorry about that Zabot; don't think you'll be missing anything anyways. PSU is a casual experience so you can jump on and not have to worry about being behind or not knowing enough to get around, etc...

True, technology isn't perfect. How was your 360 setup? There's a lot of gray areas that no one pays attention to when their console beings to malfunction. Could be where you have it placed (Carpet, closed area, around dust; on the floor), how you have it (horizontal or vertical).

[Zabot]

yea oblivion just does that, but mines with arcade games, reg box games, and itll like, well it like flashes (the screen) and then that screen will stay on, like on halo 2, ill look around but my corsur and everything is still in the last picture, its like having another pic on a layer behind or even infront of the one im seeing now, it it get like super hot, one time i left it running for like 5 hours and took my game out and it was like flexible :| its just really pissin me off

[Zabot]

its horizontal but its got lots of airflow, i cant stand it up there is no where to put it, but i make sure its out of the way, it heats up in like 30 mins tho, and ive tried standing it up but it gets just as hot but in about an hour.

Me and my Dad bought an Xbox 360 yesterday, and on the manual it said "Do not sit or step on it"

Just a protip~

[Velrath]

Wow, that seriously sucks... I feel your anguish man...

My Xbox exploded on the inside when I brought it over my friend's house to play PSO. I still never got it fixed...

You worked all summer for that???? I work 14-15 hours a week and I could have that in 3 weeks. Time to find a new job.

[Yoiyami]

At least you have a 360. I don't even have one yet. ^_^;

By the end of the month, hopefully, I'll have one. I'm hoping I don't run into any serious technical issues... Yikes.

You should of ordered microsoft's 2-year warranty offer that came w/ the x360.. it was only $60 and the turn-around repair is only a couple days. They'll even replace it all together if its unfixable and you'll be back playing games in no time.

[Zabot]

i did a clear cache file thing that i found a friend told me about, my box runs smoother now, smoother tahn ever, and im going to go pick up an iner cooling system, i fixed my box yay for me i dont need to have it repaired, thanks everyone. lol yay woot. im so happy, im giving a special shoutout to Digiont who helped me out, thanks man

[solidsolo]

wait!!! clear cache file??? how u do that on the 360?? and where u getting the inner cooler for it??

[CpwninOBrien]

awesum glad to hear it bro http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Velrath]

Ah cool you fixed it, good for you man. I wouldn't want any of PSOW to miss out on anything. You guys are like a virtual family (not really).

[Zabot]

go to system, then memory, when it shows yoru hard drive name press Y, then press X,X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. when it asks you watever it asks lol say yes, this clears a lot of cache which lags and bogs down your box, but it also gets rid of all of the game update, like halo 2 and watnot. but you can just get um again no biggie. Im getting my inner cooler at either EB Games, GameCrazy, or BestBuy, you could also try Target and other places that sell xbox 360 accessories. hope this helped, PM me back and tell me how it went ok.

[Numnuttz]

hmmm lets see thats not so bad. my system died already so i know how you feel.Microsoft is actually fast when repairing them. if they cant fix it they just give you a new one anyways.

[Zelutos]
