got some bad news from xbox-scene
check it out the news Guitar Hero II or it's new patch possibly bricking 360's >> Saw this on the XBOX.com forums this morning, over 100 posts from gamers complaining that GHII, or it's new patch has wrecked havoc on thier consoles, bricking some, while making other unstable. QUOTE I have tried all of the rest of my games, and GHII is the only one freezing! I cannot finish a song (haven't even finished one yet), without either the screen during all weird and freezing, or the screen going completely black (xbox still on) and being frozen. Keep in mind, that 360's, like any hardware will not last forever. Every time MS releases a dash update, we see some 360's "die" and everyone blames the update. Every time we see a particular game get an update or new maps etc, we see more consoles "die" and everyone blames the new updates.... Just got it today, played it for no more then 30 minutes with a total of 4 freeze ups. The 5th one.. red circle of death. It is now dead. What a joke. I've played GOW for hours on end, probably the longest being 7 hours straight, play GH for 30 minutes and it kills my box. ... Yeah I'd agree it obviously doesn't happen to everyone, in fact I have a few buddies that play it non-stop without issues. However having said that, there is enough evidence on this forum alone to convince me that there is an issue with it, and maybe it only shows itself on certain models of 360, built before a certain date or something... no idea. All I know is it ran great before this game, and now... well my 360 makes a nice doorstop. ... "I love my 360. It's been a dear friend of mine ever since I bought it (on launchday). I've never had any problems with it. Vel, today I decided to get my hands on Guitar Hero II for the 360... Big mistake! My 360 is now officially dead.. After playing GHII for almost 4 hours, the game froze. Not a big deal I thought. I rebooted the console, and "badabing"!... the dreadful three red lights stared at my face. NOOOOOO! Now my 360 won't even boot into the dashboard anymore. I've tried disconnectiong every cable, controller and the hard-drive, but to no use. It usually freezes seconds after I turn it on, and when I try again, the three red lights appear. Why did this have to happen?! I'm so angry right now, and surely wish I'd never bought that piece of crap Guitar Hero II! Be warned everyone... There has to something seriously wrong the 360 version GHII. Maybe older 360 consoles are having trouble with the guitar controller, and therefore screws up the entire console? I don't know. I don't know anyone who has had a problem with their GHII, or recent issues with their 360 after having started playing GHII. So, if you fear the Game or the update is the "culprit" of these 360 death's consider waiting for more info to get posted. - HSD |

I think this bricking or 3ROD that happened is just a coincidence. I've played GH2 without any issues until I got my 3ROD last Saturday while playing it, so I don't think it's the games's fault. After I fixed my 3ROD problem and I continue playing it. So far I haven't got any freezes or lock ups in this game. I've played straight 5 hrs yesterday just to make sure that my X360 is really stable after the fix.
This game is great and addictive so I think it's kind of pathetic to blame on the game when 3ROD hits your X360. AS for me, I blame it on M$ for not doing enough R&D on their X360 design that has a serious flaw. |

Just play and enjoy what you've bought, if the disaster still coming to your machine, it doesn't matter what game you're playing. Stop being paranoid. |

I've beaten the Easy Mode and get 5 stars on all 35 songs. Now I'm playing the Medium Mode (did 5 songs out of 48). My son had also beaten the Easy Mode and his playing the Medium Mode too and had done 30 songs of out 48 in this mode. So far there's no problem with the game or my X360.
May be to be safe, if you're really paranoid on this issue, just don't do the update patch. |
