Best Test for Your New Xbox360: GRAW

just a tip for anyone who is into fps games AND is looking into getting a new xbox360. its becoming more and more widely known that GRAW is the most taxing game available for your 360. people have actually claimed that GRAW ruined their xbox, but the truth is that its really the only game which demands constant uses of all three processor cores, therefore testing the (closest to at this point) high end performance of the console. just go to any xbox forum and do a search and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about.

so, before you buy CoD2 (awesome game btw) first invest in GRAW and play the hell out of it, the second you hook up your new console. if you have a lemon on your hands, you should know within a couple of days or even a few hours.

and dont feel secure with xbox's warranty because if your system busts and THEY take it in, they will send you a lemon refurb which will very likely die (plus you have to go for like 2 weeks with NO gaming while you wait). i've read too many testimonials of people going through like 3-5 xboxes this way and counting. (by 'and counting', i mean that they would post as soon as they got the newest lemon, begging the question of how long THAT one is going to last).

my system works well, thank god. also hooked up an intercooler which i recommend to everyone, since the stock fans are borderline disfunctional, and when you play a game like GRAW it will really heat up without added circulation. just a little off topic advice to throw in🙂

see, i would buy a 360, but theres all these problems you shouldnt have to deal with on a console. id rather just pimp my computer out and play all the games with a mouse and keyboard.

My Xbox has been working fine since the day I got it. 😬

Was it supposed to?

Another fine example of why you should go with PCs, none of that "The game broke my PC" stuff.

Unless you are dumb enough to overclock.

Worst that can happen is it going 1 FPS, then you having to reboot.

Allthought Upclose the graphics are nto as Good As F.E.A.R., I will say that it is VERY good for further off and still keeps good quality.

My first 360 was a dud, returned it to gamestop and got a new one, no problems since.

I think most people who send it back to MS to get it fixed aren't getting duds returned to them, the percentage that are is pretty low.

My feelings. 👆

No doubt, Microsoft screwed up with the problems at launch. However, it seems they're doing a decent job cleaning up the mess now.

Could be the disc, if that's the only game that froze.

Freezing has nothing to do with the XBOX usually.

It's from the code from the game.

It happens with my Madden 06 on the GC.

Nah, some 360's do have a freezing problem, not dependant on the game. It comes from a problem with either the hard drive or the DVD drive.
