Final Fantasy XIII

[Lightning 0]

Well hello there! I currently bought FFXIII for the Xbox 360 console and I was playing through it for about...hmm... 4 hours? Then my entire console froze. At first, I figured my 360 crashed, then, I restarted my game, and it froze in the exact same part! I couldn't play 2 minutes without it freezing. Now I know what your thinking, "Oh it must be your Xbox" or "Oh, you just got a bad copy of the game" but no. I exchanged my copy 5 times. YES 5 times. And all 6 copies froze on the same part. I tried all 6 copies on MULTIPLE Xbox 360 consoles, MULTIPLE as in 5. And bear in mind that all these consoles were different versions (Original, Elite, Super Elite, And 2 Kinect-Ready 360's) And no Xbox/FF13 Combination would work. It's not my Xbox that is the problem, as it has frozen on 5 different ones at the same part(Disk 2, Chapter 1). I thought the problem lied within the game, but I exchanged it 5 times and all 6 froze. All of my copies were purchased as "New" also. All of these supposedly "New" copies were scratched a little bit and VERY dusty before I even took them out of the box, as if they had been used already. All of my other games run perfectly and the only one I seem to have an error with is Final Fantasy 13. I have no idea what the problem with the disk is. I have yet to find a new copy of this game that didn't have any scratches either.

 

I appreciate all help!

Thanks, Lightning

It's difficult to find an explanation for that. Seriously how the hell can that even happend?

Have you asked inn the store where you bought it?

[Lightning 0]

Yes, and they say that the only thing they can do is refund my money.

[Leaxel 178]

Then take back your money and try inn another store.

Those idiots probably lost the game on the floor or something

Tried it. All 6 copies were from 5 Different Gamestops. I'm going to try Wal-Mart or something next.

You're lucky. My copy of FFXIII actually gave my 360 the red ring. I managed to fix it, put it back in, and it crashed at the exact same part, giving my 360 a red ring again, and this time I had to send it to Microsoft.

 

That was what made me say "F**k it." and buy a PS3.

ER... This makes me think twice before buying FF 13 for my 360.. Hm...

...And this is why I bought the PS3 version. c:

Lucky. I still can't get it to work. Nor can I identify WHAT the problem is, as I found one that is in perfect condition, but still freezes.

^ Maybe something went wrong with that whole batch of disks? Try calling the manufacturer if you haven't already.

"Maybe something went wrong with that whole batch of disks?" I already though about that. But after the Gamestop copies didn't work, I got 2 from Wal-Mart, and 1 from H.E.B. And they did the same thing.
