Back in July I had an Xbox 360 I had it only for a short time and then got bored with it.
Well, I bought a new one back on Friday. This is at least in part due to a friend of mine who has one and I want to be able to play online with him. I also wanted to be able to play Fable 2
Anyhow, I bought the thing at Wal-Mart back on Friday. Now I’d heard about the various problems 360’s have had, but my first one didn’t give me and guff, so I figured my second one wouldn’t either.
Wrong.
On the second day I owned it, it froze while playing a game. It froze twice more with that same game over the course of the next couple days. I figured, well, it’s a problem with that game. Then Fable 2 showed up. It froze repeatedly; seven times during the first day I had it. At this point I thought that perhaps something was amiss.
So I took it back to Wal-Mart and exchanged it for a new one. The new one runs quieter and I haven’t had any problems so far. The only real issue was that I had to give them the hard drive I’d been using, since it came with the one I’d bought on Friday, and that means I lost all my save games. Bummer there.
Hopefully the one I have now will work much better. Wish me luck! Oh, and for those who want to find me on the 360, my gamertag is Parskell.
