    WSB XBOX lockups....replaced XBOX and here are results

    I originally posted about my WSB locking up during 6 out of my first 12 games. I replaced the disk to no avail. I then sold my PS2 and took the cash and bought a brand new retail XBOX. I played 3-4 games and no lockups. I set the CPU vs CPU and let it run for hours and no lockups. Then I got my old XBOX out and tried to run CPU vs. CPU and it locked up in every game I tried.

    So I decide that I made a good decision. Now I have played 6 games into a franchise on my new XBOX and feel releived and I can finally enjoy the game without fear of it freezing. But during game 6 I go into extra innings tied 3-3. In the bottom of the 13th it locks up on me! Damn!!!

    No other games i have have ever locked up on me on either XBOX.

    Is ther anyone else out there that has had an occassional lockup on this game? Forget it happening all the time. I mean once in a while..... once every 20-30 games or something like that. Cause there seems to be something in the WSB code that can freak the XBOX out once in a while.

    I am paranoid now that the new XBOX I got is defective too!!!

    Someone please help me get over this and post your experiences!!!

        I haven't had any lockups with WSB2K3, but I've had some problems with other games. Do you know which drive (Thompson, Philips, or Samsung) each Xbox has?

                    I don't know how to tell which drive is which. I can tell you that my original XBOX has just one hole in the center of the CD tray The new Xbox has several holes. So ican tell the drive is made different. Also the new XBOX is almost whisper quiet. My old one was loud and sounded a lot like a PC. I heard the newer revisions no longer have a fan on the Graphics PRocessor.

                    The bad thing is I now have 2 Xbox's and the "bad" one is actually perfectly fine except for WSB. What should I do with it? For all intents and purposes it has served me well. Just WSB gives it fits.

                        Gut it and use it as a sock drawer.

                            I am considering that!!!! Actually I was thinking of just using it as an extra DVD player. Hopefully it won't lock up on them too though.

                            Seriously though funcoland will give me 110 bucks credit. All they fo when they test it is check 2-3 diskd to make sure that it works. I know that it works for that......just WSB will lock it up after a while.

                            Is it morally right to do that? Seeing as it may have a defect and all.

                            Any advice?
