I picked up a copy of Guitar Hero 3 today and it won't make it through a full song without freezing. I tried removing the console from the power for about 20 minutes, and then plugging it back in. I tried changing the position of the 360 (horizontal to vertical). The only thing I did not try, was deleting the game profile and adding a new one. There was an update for the game that I applied when I first booted it up. Anyone else having issues?

i'm using a falcon box (holiday bundle) and it has worked fine for me. I played about 10 songs so far with no problems.

Actually it's not dead. The box still boots up, but now refuses to play any game for other than 5 minutes. Stranglehold, Halo 3, and Guitar Hero 3 were all tested. Halo 3 was working FINE before this afternoon, I had even played for a good hour this morning, I guess it wasn't related at all. I'm looking into my current options, thanks for all your "help".

Yup, coincidence. It was going to happen no matter what. Welcome to the horrible experience of the 3rol.

I figured it was bound to happen. We did the towel trick last night and all seems to be working well. I will follow that up today with putting Arctic Silver on the GPU and CPU.

if you haven't opened the system yet, just do a MS exchange and forget about the thermal upgrade. the towel trick was also a bad idea.

Yeah send it back to MS and they will either give you another one or fix yours. I bought another one from somebody used at a good price to keep as a backup 360 for when mine breaks again. It locks up on a fairly regular basis so I think another RRoD is coming for mine too.

The system is actually no longer under warranty and I have a replacement case on it. The system has been running fine today so far, with a solid 4 hours or so of GH3, so we'll see how far I can push my luck with this thing, I'll just go grab a new console when this one dies. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

No I don't think it's coincidence... my Elite is starting to act up... and while I was playing Co-Op online with a friend his brand new Elite kept freezing after every song... after about 7 times we finally gave up and he powered down his system... I can play every other game just fine without freezing...

unfortunately, it IS either coincidence, or if the freezing truely is limited to GH3, then its your GH3 disc. The freezing followed by a RRoD could have happened on any game. (i'm not going to go out and blame tony hawk's american wasteland for giving my system a RRoD a while back because i know better then that wink.gif same goes for GH3)

Yeah, it's definatley just a coincidence. I've been playing GH3 for a couple hours every day on a launch console, and nothing has happened to me.

I just had my launch box RRoD on me a couple days ago. I was playing Portal. I'm pretty amazed that it lasted that long though. Gives me an opportunity to try out XB360reflow.com though. Luckily I had bought a Halo LE at he first sign of it.

These things die, a lot it seems.
