    Default Anyone who owns a 360 have this problem yet?

    I have been playing Need For Speed: Most Wanted since I bought the game over a week ago....and yesterday a buddy of mine who doesn't own a 360 yet asked if I wanted to play some Halo 2. So, yesterday, I put in my Halo 2 disc and obviously kicked some ass and today I put in Need For Speed in and I didn't have an alias!

    In other words, my entire memory and game saves on my XBox 360 were completely erased! So, I called 1-800-4MY-XBOX and they told me that this has been a common problem!!!

    Now, you all know me, I'm not one to start up some conpiracy or anything...and I didn't mind starting from scratch because I love the game so much....but, I hope all of the memory doesn't disappear again!

    Anyone experience this at all?

    Sony will probably end up having a few problems of their own too. I'm just glad I haven't run in to any problems at all.

    I used to post here a lot.

    Every console has its fair share of problems when it first launches, but this is getting out of hand. I'm finding all sorts of problems on forums about Xbox 360 problems. Personally my gaming experience is going great, but all these glitches have me worried.

    Actually, I've seen PC games, yes, single games, that alone have more problems posted than the entirety of the 360 launch. Given the complexity of their system, I'd say the 360 is standing up pretty well, especially since most of the issues are software related, and thus fixable.

    If you're hoping for a 100% smooth PS3 launch, dream on. Anytime you implement something as complicated as emulation, a background OS (dashboard), and live system like the 360 has, there's going to be bugs. If the PS3 does any better, it will be because they won't have any of the extra features we're all going to be used to by the time it releases.

    I went to a friends house, recovered my gamertag so we can both log in with our profiles at the same time, and played fine.

    came home later that nite and recovered my gamertag again to put it back on my system, and doing so wiped all my game saves. Needless to say I've backed up every save file onto my memory cards from here on.

    There's a lot to be said for backing up games onto memory cards. I'll be buying one tomorrow...

    Yes Maximus I have experience this when I was Playing COD2 I got really far in the game and when clicked next level I saw the B-training level I was like didn't I already pass this. so I said to my self I am not going to start this over anytime soon and I put in NFSMW and never looked back. I might put it back in and play later when i get bored of NFS but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    Hey guys -
    I'm not at home so I can't test this, but can you try copying your save files to a USB thumbdrive or external hard drive?

    Few glitches? I hope we are not deluding ourselves or are so desperately wanting there to not be problems that we are blinding ourselves. These things are having problems all over the place and I suspect more will pop up. I am smelling 'rushed' all over the place. The ONLY problem I have ever had with my previous xbox and that I ever remembering was the Thompson drive thing. The fact that people are experiencing overheating, scratched disks, lost saves, Live not working, game freezes, and on and on is more than a few glitches. And the 3 percent number everyone throws around is actually funny. MS makes that statement and everyone blindly believes it.

    I did some checking of my own and after calling an EB at random and asking how many of the launch systems they sold have reported problems I was told 30 percent. Some may do better, and no doubt some will do worse, but the fact that I just pick one store randomly and am told 30 percent is shocking to say the least.

    I think in a few weeks when more and more people actually have their hands on the systems you will hear more and more and more issues. I love my current Xbox and really want this new one, and any other system coming out for that matter, to do well, but things are not looking good.

    Yeah...it's possible that I could have goofed up or something...I don't know...it seems to me that my XBox Live account was gone and I had to recover the account...and when I did, there was no info on my hard-drive.

    I'm so going to get a memory card for back-up, even if it is kinda b.s.

    Mine had been running glitch free since I got it. I don't think they rushed it at all. I think people aren't setting their 360s up in the right environment. It needs ventilation. Someone is making a ventilation fan(external) in a stand for people to stand the 360 vertically and give it extra ventilation. My EB said they had not had one unit returned yet.

    Yeah...I'm thinking it could have been some sort of fluke...I'm not sure. Like I said, I hope it doesn't happen again...and it only slightly made me feel concerned because it was as if I signed out of my XBL account and had to sign back in and somehow lost my information...for all I know, I could have erased my hard-drive in the process on accident. I just hope it doesn't happen again....

    I restarted NFS and I'm in a much better situation now than my career that I accidentally erased! lol

    The fact that you even post this belies the problem. Consoles have had an edge over PC's for gaming in that they were simple, and always worked. Now you hurrah! the XBox for it's added complexity, making it as crash-worthy as a PC.

    PC users are adept at such things, and expect a patch or two. There are a near-infinite combination of bits of hardware that each game can run into. It is to be expected.

    I bemoan the end of pure consoles and the beginning of the new Home-Theater-Living-Room invasion. I would prefer to keep Microsoft and Sony both out of my home theater. I have more competence than both of them combined in this arena.

    All of this is why myself, and many fellow gamers I know, are now looking to the Nintendo to save us. The Gamecube at my house hasn't been hooked up in over a year, and got the least attention from my half-dozen gaming systems. So I am by no means a Nintendo advocate. But they are the only company clinging to the gaming tradition that I know and love. The other two guys seem to be trying to compete with my PC. Fat chance.

    The good to come of this will be the cross-platform nature of game development. Soon, nearly every game made for a next-gen console will be released on the PC. We are nearly at that point now. Perhaps my PC and the Revolution will keep me happy for the next several years.

    Also... I'm shocked that everyone wants to apologize for Microsoft. It is unreal that we, as consumers, care more about protecting the people that take our money, and usually fail to deliver, than we care about ourselves and our fellow man. They way they get us warring with each other, while taking advantage of our zeal in a monetary fashion, reminds me of the political fanaticism which runs rampant these days. I urge everyone to pause for a moment and determine which team you are on.
