After testing it a bit further, my 360’s problems seem to have lessened a bit. I was able to play Forza 2 and Halo 3 for a few hours without any problems, and various XBLA games didn’t trigger anything, but it did freeze once more in the Flatout UC demo.
I’m still not sure how much I really trust it at this point, but all I can do is keep playing and see if it gets any worse. I really don’t want to have to send it back in again, especially for a non-reliably-reproducible problem.
And speaking of Halo 3, it looks like I might actually be able to do it on the Heroic difficulty, it’ll just take a lot more caution, sniping, and careful advancement, and I’ll have to use the less-favoured weapons more often since there’s not enough ammo of the better ones. I also got the first silver skull, though I’ll have to redo the level to get the first gold one there too.
Forza 2 still hasn’t fixed the Porsche/Pirelli money bug, which is good for me since there’s a new car pack out and I need some cash to buy those. I probably won’t really get back into it until new tracks come out though, and apparently at least one is in development and was shown at the TGS conference.
Hey… Let Wade and I know when you’re up for some H3 mayhem. We’re still wanting to blaze thru the co-op campaign for achievements & skulls, so we’re with ya. :-)
Ohya, and the demo for the Simpsons game is on Live, if you haven’t grabbed it already. I’ll be lookin’ to try it tonight.
Unless you wanna go on a brute shoot riot. ;-)
Heh, we’ll need to set aside some time for it sometime soon; I haven’t had much luck trying to get things going on the spur of the moment in the past.
