Frustration = driving 30 miles (round trip) to buy GTA IV, deciding at the last second to go with the PS3 version rather than the 360 version...and then coming home to find that my PS3 has apparently died (I'm visiting my mom in Va. and brought the console down from NYC, and it powers on and sounds like it's functioning normally, but there's no picture being output. I've tried two different TVs, using HDMI, component and composite cables, and I've had no luck with any of them. I appear to be well and truly SOL).

try holding the reset/standby button until u hear 3 beeps and it resets the connections to the original composite connection. this might work i dunno give it a try

He had months to prepare.

Seriously, if you haven't had your Xbox 360 serviced, just get it serviced.

It's already been known that 360s without the new heatsink implementations are bound to 3ROL.

This is his 6th 360. :s

I'm lucky enough to be only on my 2nd. But boy, what a time to die. He even bought the special edition and everything... didn't even get to play it once.

Instead of making the traditional sandwich, I'm microwaving old pizza.

Just as an aside, I live in downstate Illinois, and there were ~100 ppl outside GameStop.
This game is huge.

I'm on my 4th. Going to send it in sometime for my 5th before my warranty expires and perform a X-Clamp 3ROL procedure for self-maintenance.

I am such a sad panda right now. My Gamecrazy canceled their midnight launch without calling anyone. I understand that they can't sell the game if they don't have any copies, but give me a fucking phone call.

crap...

I guess if I was desperate, I would try a few things... maybe delete a few gigs of space, or try with another login... And since it froze, you already did a cold boot...

Why in the world would you make a new thread when he just closed the other one. Are you just living for this or something?

I don't have my copy yet... but are you downloading anything in the background? That made DMC4 crash for me. It also made
Enchanted Arms
crash on me too (yes I'm that sad...).

did that too. i think my PS3 is overheated. I've been noticing these graphical artifacts when playing certain games, especially UT3 and Assassin's Creed. Its never manifested as a total lock, but maybe GTA uses the GPU differently or something.

In all seriousness the issue is still somewhat alive for me thanks to this latest info that it creates the loudest engine noise ever on 360. I'd be interested to hear from others on this.
