GTA Screwed me (freezing up)

Re: GTA Screwed me (freezing up)

the 360 version is annoying me. It almost always says unreadable disk when I start my 360 up, and I have to reboot it like 2 times to get it running. Then it's fine until the next time I start it up.

This is the only game that does this, as I've played tons of mass effect and older xbox games since getting the 360 back.

My brother plays COD daily with no problems but he is now on his 3rd copy of GTA with no luck. They told him to wait for the patch and or call Microsoft. There obviously is a problem with this game in his 360 because he has no problems with other games.

exactly. However, if a game can't be read off the disk, a patch can't fix it. It's a disk manufacturing issue.

Thats such a true, and sucky statement. For all that next gen has to deliver and was promised to deliver, who wouldve thought these huge, glaring glitches and technical issues would present themselves. PSN causing niterruptions, RROD, DDE, etc. Unbelieveable.

Since i turned off PSN, ive had zero issues playing. But it sucks to not know when someone is online so i can join up

well it's only the GTA game giving me trouble, as once it starts it's fine. It says my longest gaming session is around 6 hours, so my 360 is fine.

I just remember how forza 2 cracked inside one of my other 360's while I was playing it, and MS did nothing for me. This generation is full of junk hardware, horrible customer service, and cheap flimsy disks. I only put up with it because I buy consoles for the games. GTA is one of the best games I've ever played, so some annoyances starting it up will have to be put up with I suppose.

In all fairness to Rockstar, the game is deep and they spent what's supposed to be the most money ever spent on a videogame. They even delayed it to fix issues. If these problems are happening to this game, they can happen to any game this generation.

I don't think the 360 problem is as wide-spread the PS3 freezing problem. I switched my discs out and the new copy works fine (knock on wood).

You're fortunate, my 360 copy has been flawless so far but a friend of mine who bought the 360 version had problems from the start. Froze at the initial loading screen so he took it back and got another copy and it did the same thing. All his other games play great. Apparently no fix for the 360 version and while it does not seem to be as widespread as the PS3 there is no fix for it as of yet.
