Holy crap you have to be kidding. I have never had my Nintendo Systems just freeze. Maybe you're too used to MS and Sony's stuff.

All game consoles freeze from time to time, some software is more prone to it than others.

 I remembers Nintendo and SNES games freeze long time ago.

You had to take the cartridge out and put it back in.

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.

Oblivion freezes once in a great while for me. You might have a bad copy of the game (maybe?)

Make sure you clear your X360's cache before you play Oblivion to ensure smooth preformance. I can't remember what the code is for it when it boots up, but I am sure you can find a quick-help file for it.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

To be really honest the 360 oblivion version has been prone to issues including freezing. It's the only game I've had for the system where freezes have stood out to me.

Yeah that happens from time to time...Assassins creed freezes up all the time. The system still works but the game stalls.

Sonic the hedgehog froze a lot as well. Basically some games that aren't programmed very well do this.

My N64 freezes a lot.

And I had SMG freeze on me the other day.

Maybe everything in my house is faulty.

Ironically the only console that hasn't frozen on me is my PS2...........

Your lucky Superchunk. I've had my Wii, GC, N64, and original NES all freeze at one point or another when running a game either pushing the hardware or a buggy game. (Wii Fit & Zack and Wiki have both froze it.)

If you just got your 360 make sure you have downloaded any updates available for the game, if your connected to Live it should promp you when loading the game.
