    Don't have it yet, but like you say, try it without the customs soundtracks.
    Back into the world of gaming.

    IVe had VC freeze on me one time when I had played for hours and tried changing stations real fast while I had 5 stars worth of cops chasing me. Thats the only time though. Do you have a Thompson, Philips, or Samsung DVD Drive?

    They say that the "thomson" DVD drives are having problems with the GTA: Double Pack, but I think thats a bunch of Sh*t! It could be that your cd is stratched severly at a certain point where it loads the game, it has happened to me with a rental game. Check ur CD, if nothing is stracthed then just keep playin BUT if it keeps freezing get a new copy! You paid for it, you DESERVE a working game!

    It depends on what time you got your XBox. If you got it withing the first 6 to 8 months, you'll have the Thompson. If you got it after it's either the Samsung or Phillips.

    I have the Thompson (sp?) too. Got my Xbox @ launch, and I have had some pretty bad problems w/ GTA: DP and Morrowind GOTY. I'm going to try and get a new Xbox, as I've heard most peeps have had very few problems with locking up on those.

    Yeah, it's an unfortunate thing- Ever since games on CDs became the norm, launch consoles have never quite been up-to-snuff. Good luck duder, I hope you get things settled.

    If you open it up and the hole is U shaped you have a Thompson. If its shaped like a lightbulb, like mine, you have a Philips. If there is one big hole in the middle and two small ones towards the front you have a Samsung. Im pretty sure thats it but someone correct me if im wrong!

    So basically what you all are saying is that my XBOX sucks ass and it was a waste of money to buy it ?
