I've had the X Box 360 for just over a day and it's crashed!

Maniac618 · 17 Feb 2006 at 22:11

Yes that's right, I was playing PGR online when suddenly..... nothing.... it froze midrace.

I'm too scared to power it up again now. JUst in case its dead.

:eek:

Umm, turn it on and see if it works !

You've not got it crammed into a toasty cubby-hole have you?

bingham67 · 17 Feb 2006 at 22:14

It's very well ventilated / has lots of space etc

Just turned it on and it's fine and working, but still, it's rather scary annoying that its already crashed, that can't be good.

I think PGR has been known to just fall over, not happened to me other than the known 'pressing guide while loading' bug.

Same as what Ol!ver said, PGR has a known bug in it. It's annoying I know, but the game makes up for it.

yeah ive had a bunch of odd crashes in pgr. console is still alive tho

PuncH · 18 Feb 2006 at 00:34

My PGR has never crashed on me (yet). I'm expecting a crash sooner or later though. Even my orig xbox crashed a couple of times in the 16 months I had it.

I bet loadsamoney hops in here soon when he see's the thread title

Mine crashed the other day while playing a superbowl game in madden 06 nfl

, thought it had finally conked out the console but i unplugged it and turned it back on and it hasnt crashed since that day.

Doug · 18 Feb 2006 at 01:50

The one and only time mine has crashed was after my first race on PGR3. It's behaved itself ever since.

Ultra_Extreme · 18 Feb 2006 at 12:10

Youve gotta remember that these consoles are based even more on PC style architecture than before, and no one moans if they ctd. Not only that but these games are using cutting edge multi core CPU's that even desktops havent got alongside unique graphics architectures. And then on top of that your talking about launch games and demos for christs sake, what do you expect?

Are you saying it's okay if PCs crash? My PC doesn't crash and if it did there would be something wrong. What I expect "for christ's sake" is for a console to work properly, not crash

Dont think I've ever owned a console (going all the way back to the Master System) that hasnt crashed in one form or another.

Okay, might have been something freak and only done it once over many years, but it can happen regardless of the hardware inside.

Fair enough, my Dreamcast has crashed about twice (well, out of all three of them that I've owned, that's two crashes ever between them) and my original Xbox has crashed twice, both times in Street Racing Syndicate so it could just be that game - it froze when loading.

The odd rare crash is one thing but regular ones isn't IMO.

Maniac618 · 18 Feb 2006 at 13:38

well pgr3 hasnt crashed since i posted this thread and everything seems fine.

mine did it once i just turned it off then on and it was fine anyway id be more worried if it crashed while playing it offline than online.

Mine does it, but its reproducable (hence a bug). In Full Auto, don't mess around with the guide while in the multiplayer lobby, or just after a multiplayer race. Haven't had any crashes or freezes outside of the guide in Full Auto MP.
