      They have to work with MS on this because the patch has to go through MS QA testing. Which means 2k is going to need a big favor from MS if they fix is going to be "really soon". I imagine MS isnt going to be in all that much of a hurry to green light a patch after 2k screwed up the CHoops patch and it made it through MS QA. Thats why I fear we are atleast a week or two away from a fix.

      The inexcuseable part is that they have had this very same problem in all of their xbox port releases. The numbers were small enough for them to ignore. Now that a game is actually popular enough where the problem is biting enough people to cause an uproar they are scrambling.

      There is no way they can tell retailers not to take the game back, because its already a major competition for shelf space. The retailers wont risk their customer base due to 2k's screwup, so they are going to take the games back and force 2k to take them back or never see another one of their games on retailer shelves.

      2k is really in a tight spot and could end up taking a significant financial hit over this. I dont have much sympathy for them after having the same exact problem with CHoops and getting the autogenerated "It must be your system" response and absolutely no reply when I asked about the 100+ hours I have on other games with absolutely zero freezes. Saddest part, is I really have enjoyed what I have been able to play of both games, but CHoops has already been returned and I dont see anyway they patch MLB before I hit my 7 days from purchase window and return it too.

        It's pretty strange huh?
        Does his disc that freezes work on your system?

                O.K. like an idiot I try to take the hard drive out while the game is playing, to stop the freezing, all of the sudden the system sounds like it is chewing the game up, so I turn it off and put the game in again, now, it wont play at all.
                Other discs work fine, so the system seems o.k., any chance I will be able to exchange the game for another?

                  Why would you even do that,man you can really mess your system up.I went and reformatted my drive and haven't had a problem in 3 games.I know some of you guys refuse to buy a memory card to do that and i can't blame you. But i have a friend at EB and he was going to let me take it back once i was done with the reformatting

                    LOL. Wayda take hardware off a system while its running. Not a smart thing to do with electronics.

                        If it wasn't a waste of $60 before, it is now. You have no chance at getting your money back.

                            I dont get people like you. Yes, the game may not work right for you right at this moment, but once a patch is out, it will work. Sooooo...are you gonna buy it again?

                            Mine, on the other hand, works fine, but if it does freez at some point, I will still keep it for the patch, cause its still a good game.

                              I found some things out today after reformatting. The only save I lost was the DOA4 save. When my wife redownloaded Zuma, Feeding Frenzy, and Marble Madness, the game picked right back up where she left off, so I guess your progress is saved to your gamercard or gamerscore and not to the hard drive. A microsoft rep called me a few minutes ago and gave me a one time use code to get Hexic. I redownloaded it, and it too picked right up not only where she left off, but she had a saved game and picked right back up in the middle of it. Amazing technology for sure. I've played 10-15 games and no freezes after the reformat, so if you've got a memory card and you want to play the game as badly as I did, go for it. You won't lose much of anything actually.
