I just got a 360 last week becuase of the $50 price cut. It has randomly frozen 3 times while playing Oblvion, and I have only played for about 20 hours. Happened 5 minutes after playing, another time 3 hours after playing, and another time about 30 minutes of playing... so it seems random. I can still access the XBM and go to the blades, and arcade games ahve never failed on me.
Is this normal/a glitch with oblivion? It seems like a computer game that 360 can't rully run; textures of far away objects are terrible and then improve and then grass/flowers pop up, and in crowded fights there is slowdown. Is it the game, or my 360 that is casuing this mildy annoying problem. Am I headed for RRoD in the future? How do I combat this? I keep my 360 lying down on a shelf that has bars and then empty space on the bottom, so it is fully ventilated. I have played up to 6 hours at a time. Should 2 hours then a 1/2 hour break be my max? What do I do? I can't really return it becuase I bought it on vacation at a far away circuit city :(

 

Not to worry, Oblivion freezes up like that sometimes. Be sure to save often as the autosave only saves at certain times.
