i got the crappy drive, but i've never had any problems wiv it. i have got gta doublepack, and have not touched vc yet as i plan to do 3 first.

i was wondering if a)the drive problems are just american or world wide, so please tell, and the same with b) the vc freezing problems. i bought my xbox a couple of months after it was launched so i guess its a launch console?

anyhelp is good help

There seems to be alot problems of GTA freezing disc errors, drive problems.
Trust me mate, its world wide and its just the old drive.
My advice: BUY A NEW XBOX.

i'm hoping if it does decide to break, stop working or explode ( alot of things that shouldnt explode explode when i touch them:D ) then i hope it does it close to the end of may, so then i could get a new xbox for my birtday, because i dont have the money to buy a new one as soon as it breaks:mad:

ah well, if it breaks then it breaks and i get a new (better) one, if it doesnt then great.

tbuk:)

ps
thanks for the advice

Thats reeeeal nice. I pay 300$ for mine when it launched and a few days ago my xbox starts messing up like crazy. It's sad that ima have to pay $150-$200 more to get a new or used one. BTW, i have the thompson drive.

RagunCajun- if you payed 300 for yours then it might be covered all ready you could call whatever number it is 1-800-4MYXBOX somthing like that(somone could help here if its wrong) tell them you have a launch xbox and its screwing up, if they still do it they will check your seril # thing if its covered they fix it for free, its atleast worth a shot.
