So i got GTA IV today and it was the worst experience ever. The game tells me i need to intall these updates which i did. After playing the game for 20-30 min it freezes. So i go to turn on my xbox and RING OF DEATH appears. Now thanks to GTA IV I have to go without my abox until they either fix or give me new one. THANKS A LOT GTA IV NOW I HAVE NO XBOX AND I HAVE TO GO ABOUT A MONTH WITHOUT GTA IV OR ANY GAME WTF. ---

If you have a DSM and the crank is about to go and you get gas just before it does can you blame the gas? RRoD just happens, it’s not game related. Playing for hours on end can help RRoD along because of the heat buildup, and GTA is addicting enough to play for hours, so maybe slightly related. ---

Dear sir, It’s happening now, call MS and let them fix it. You don’t see me blaming an oil change place just my clock broke a few hours later. Also make sure your AV cable isn’t loose or something silly. ---

Just a FYI. Make sure your xbox is free to open air. Games like GTA and GoW take a lot of resources and build up heat. If you have your xbox stuck in an entertainment center with no air flow, you are asking for problems. ---
