Halo 3 Allegedly "Crashes" -- Gamers Pissed!

31. I dont get the chance to play with my 360 anymore since having kids. It plays more "Thomas and Friends" and "Spongebob" DVD's then it does games. But I just received Halo 3 as a birthday present and as soon as I put the game in the console a dialog box popped up and said that I needed a update tp play the game. I proceeded with the update and when complete my system froze, after rebooting it I witnessed the cursed "Ring of Death". Mind you I never had one problem with this unit until trying to play Halo 3. Off to the repair shop I go! Total BS that quality from expensive products like this sucks anymore. When will these corporate fatheads start putting quality and service in front of earning that buck?

32. To DrDenNet #29

I might add that I was also using a additonal cooling fan when I tried to play the game, I didnt even get far enough to require it before my system crashed. Not even the title screen appeared.

33. I bet Randy Nunez is an overweight dude who hangs on his sofa, consumes large quantities of carne asada burritos in between water bong rips, and probably played Halo 3 for hours until his 360 finally gave up the ghost.

34. Sounds like a real "Crysis" get it, Crysis. That game is much better than Gaylo..

35. That's about as bad as us pc gamers, with the securom in our Sims 2 games! Messed up several computers. Don't believe me?

36. Halo 3 has fried two 360s of mine so far. The first was the 360 i bought a year ago, after playing for 14+ hours straight i can understand the failure. when i got the replacement console, it fried after 3 hours. 3 HOURS!

My point being, this is a big problem and if you cant understand that, then dont comment. Simple as that.

38. #14 In your post you criticized #10 for calling someone stupid. What are you smoking? There is nothing in that post that calls anyone stupid. He rightfully called video game geeks lazy a**es(which is true)

40. I will say that having a PS3 required patience in waiting for good games to come out. But now I'm sitting on Drake's Fortune, Ratchet, Assassin's, while still trying to finish Oblivion and have an outside life. I know 4 people with 360s and all have had to have them fixed at least more than 1 time. One of my friend was a loyal XBoxer until his 4th Red Ring appeared and he sold his 360 and all his games and is very happy about the decision. He is also a major computer geek who builds custom ground up computers and he described the 360 as running a stock car engine on nitrous and a supercharger at racing speeds. What I do not understand is why Microsoft, with all their money, can't suck it up and solve the problem once and for all? Even if they have to gut the entire system, they are still making more profits than Sony is with their systems ( Sony actually LOSES $ on every system). I would be really, really ticked if I had to count on returning my system just to keep it going! It's too bad, because if they did have a workable system, I would have loved to have done a little Halo-ing and Crysis. Oh well, I already have more games than I will be able to finish for a very long time. Wake up, Bill Gates, and fix your problems!

42. It's a video game. Honestly, no one over the age of 12 cares. If you are an adult and this affects you, you should give serious thought to going outside to join the real world. "Gamers" are bigger dorks than "Trekkies". Honestly.

43. "Nerds"-Says the people who obsess over every scrap of celebrity gossip they can find. Look, there goes a c-list actor! Let's chase him! Nothing weird there!

44. I am with #15.. When I got the game, I put it in my xBox 360 and played it for maybe 5 minutes and then the machine just froze up and wouldn't work anymore. It wouldn't play any other games either. I called microsoft and they didn't seem surprised. They ended up giving me a new Xbox..
