Sorry to hear about you bad luck twesterm, but nice setup you got, looks like a 32" 720P tv with 5.1 sound system :)

yeah bl twesterm.. i want your setup. u got what i want ahha

man that sux... same thing happend to me playing Half Life 2 on my PC, never finished that game, at one point I needed to take an elevator but no matter what I did it would not move.... oh well, sounds like you only need to find a different copy (and give yours to one of you co-workers... :)

well, the new copy should be fine, that's really too bad though, bl mate

 40"

Getting a new disc from a buddy today and some people with similar problems on the 2kforums suggested clearing my cache so hopefully one of those will work.  I just want to finish the game and be done with it which is sad because I really wanted to play this multiple times (assuming clearing the cache doesn't work). 

Dag buddy seems like your having bad look, J/K. Well you have your Xbox 360 not in a well ventilated area, so that could be the problem. Try and take it out of your entertainment center.

I've said it multiple times now: my 360 is not overheating. I know it's in a funny place but the funny thing is it's actually running cooler there than when I had it in an open area (I check pretty much after every time using my 360 since putting it there and I even checked often when I had it in an open space).

I know the simplest solution is often the best but that's not the case here. Not every problem with a 360 game is a RRoD problem; in this case it's a Bioshock problem.

-edit-
I know this because I tried running the game again this morning after letting it rest the whole night for grins and giggles and the same exact thing happens. If this was an overheating issue, it would not *always* happen in the same exact spot, it would not happen after letting it rest the entire night, and it would happen on other games.

-edit #2-
And I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for kind words and help, I really do appreciate them, but like Legend11, I get a little annoyed when people automatically assume everything is automatically a RRoD death issue.

@twesterm

I know man, my fought I am a Xbox 360 owner. But you know I believe there is glitch that needs to be patched has anyone else that you know experienced the same problem. Because by the sounds of your play through it seems its not your 360. Again sorry for the miscommunication.

 oh what kind of pc were you running HL2 with?

Me and my roomate have had 1 or 2 freezing issues. Sometimes, when I take a picture the game randomly decides to freeze on me (has happened 2 to 3 times). For my roomate, when he exits a level and someone is talking on the tape recorder, the game freezes (has happened twice). I don't know if anyone else has had these problems. The game is phenomenal, so I can easily look past it, but it isn't exactly fun to deal with.
