Premium 360 freezing

Submitted by rapture on Mon, 08/20/2007 - 1:45pm.

Last week my Premium 360 froze for the first time. The game (GH2) just froze. This happened twice.

This weekend, the box froze while trying to watch a DVD.

Has anyone had this problem? Could it be a bad DVD drive?

Deja-Vu

Sounds like the same problem I had last time with my Core 360. It started the first day after I got it replaced, and at first it would only do it once in a while and on certain games. Eventually, it got to where it would freeze up about 3 to 5 minutes into every game, DVD, or even in the dashboard. Actually, for a long time, GHII was the only game that didn't cause it to freeze. But as things degraded it started causing it too. At first it was just an annoyance, but as it progressed it became a real handicap. I think you will probably have to send it in. But I would try to get as much out if it as possible before you have to do that.

BTW, I know that TORRENT recently had the Three Red Lights problem. It hink he is getting his box replaced too.

Me too!

I had mine freeze every time I got to a certain point in Castlevania: SotN, after two times I got the RRoD. When I first played the darkness the game kept freezing and i thought it was going to happen again, but I found out that was a glitch in the game. I hope you don't get the RRoD because it sucks!

Unfortunately JDOGG's right

I heard that's what starts happening before the red lights.

Mine does freeze in Nascar08 though, sometimes when I hit the wall and a yellow flag is about to be thrown, if I pull off a miraculous save it will freeze the game.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks for the help, guys. Sounds like I should just play the heck out of it until it RROD's then send it in.

Yeah, maybe just leave it on

Yeah, maybe just leave it on alot if you arent using it and maybe it will hurry and glow.

Are you sure they won’t

Are you sure they won't repair based on these problems alone?
