thats his system though, not the game. other games will do the same thing and eventually he'll RRoD

Hi all,

Apologies for reigniting this thread, but I've been struggling with GH3 lock-ups since the beginning of the month. I bought my xbox30 in October (its one of the newer 'pro' models) and every other game I've thrown at it plays fine. Guitar Hero 3, however, doesn't.

I have tried all the troubleshooting that Microsoft advise:

# removing the hard-drive
# resetting the system cache
# playing with the guitar and without
# deleting my save-game and creating a new one
# unplugging the network adapter so the xbox can't connect to live

and all works for a bit and then the game freezes up again. Typically I can play one and a half songs - the second freezing the xbox and requiring me to power off the system and then back on again.

I have even gone so far to try another game disk (borrowed from a friend who plays the game on and offline fine) but that disk does exactly the same thing.

I have spoken to Microsoft who advise I send the box into them for servicing, however my question to you guys is this:

Is my xbox (considering it's very youthful age) already on it's way out? Is it already onto RRoD? Will sending the box to Microsoft actually fix anything or is it just a case of not being able to play GH3?

Thanks in advance for your time!
