Is my XBOX dying??...

Post by dave4shmups »

When I leave it on, the menu screen starts to fade, and I had Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil freeze on me at one point. I restarted it and it was able to continue in the game, but I don't know if that's just a bug with the game, or a problem with my XBOX.

I had games freeze before...and I'm pretty sure Doom: RoE froze on me once during play. My xbox is modded with an 80 GB HDD, and its a v1.0, making it old, so I'm thinking it might die sometime soon.

The menu screen is supposed to fade, so there is no burn in on Plasmas. RoE was probably just a random game bug. Anyways, if starts to happen frequently, then you may have to get worried
Nope, I never had it modded. And I am wondering if it that's just a glitch with RoE; there were glitches with early releases of XBOX Serious Sam. Although throughout RoE, I did experience some skipping, which didn't hamper gameplay in anyway, but the disc is mint with no scratches.

Doom ROE is the only game that's prone to freezing on my Xbox, it's a very buggy game.

Ahh, Ok, it's the game then. Good news that it's not the XBOX!
