When i play Perfect Dark Zero, the game sometimes just freezes. It has happend to me a couple of times now and I'm getting really irritated with it.

Ok. Im gonna give it a couple more tries, and after that I'm gonna try with my friends copy on my machine, and if doesen't happen then I'll see if I'll get a new copy on warranty, or maybe just anothe game instead. PDZ is certainly a game that is hard to love, and I havn't really made up my mind about it yet, but so far it has been entertaining, but then again definantely not the best game I've played.

Myro: Hmmm... I still find PGR to be great, but it can get a bit booring since it does nothing to keep you engaged in it, and Im not a huge fan of multiplayer racing. As for PDZ, read comment above. ^^

Well now it's totally screwed up. I can like play for 30 secs and then it freezes, and that is EVERY time.I also tested it with my friends PDZ, without any improvment. Hexic also froze yesterday when i was close to a new record, and today i detected a werid graphical bug in the fight nigght demo, it was a texturecrack going from my boxers left glove to the center of the ring, and it just wouldn't dissapear.
So now we are tottaly convinced that this is some kind of hardware failure. I called the Finnish 360 support a couple of minutes ago, but they had closed already, wich means they will be getting a call from me tommorow as soon as they open. I guess I'll have to be 360-less for 1-2 weeks or so.
Why... of all monts why did it happen in March? :/

Hmm, you should check all cables and if that still doesn't work, you better order a coffin.

Well I called the support and explained my problem. They asked for my adress and my consoles serial number. They also told me that they will send me a box that i can pack my console in, but only the console and the HD, nothing else. Apparently they will come to pick it up, after that he also said that they will send me a brand new one.
You got to hand it to MS that they really offer great service.
And the best thing is, i won't have to be without a 360, at least not for more than a day or so.

I duno why everybody says about the PSU and console getting hot, mine doesn't seem to get hot, slightly warm but that's to be expected.

Same here. My problem has nothing to do with overheating.

It's just that some people are used to sticking their PSU in really confined spaces, and the 360 one needs some room to breathe. Otherwise it'll build up heat and eventually cause the console to freeze.

Overheat -> freeze, it's ironic when you think about it.
