Is Dead Rising Out to Take Your Xbox 360 to the Grave?

Upon traipsing into the net, we have noticed talk that has been going on in various forums and gaming communities. The buzz was mainly about how the game Dead Rising for the Xbox 360 has been either glitching or freezing, to the point that some believe that the game is out to destroy their consoles.

Upon reading the various posts in one forum, we have taken note that a lot of players have been experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:

• the game continually hangs or freezes
• graphic glitches that are composed of sudden bright flashes or weird color patterns suddenly appearing on the screen
• freezing in the middle of loading saved games
• audio dropouts
• freezing while escorting survivors at various points

Many believe that the current heat wave besieging North America may have something to do with these irregularities, while others are starting to wonder if the 360’s cooling system can properly handle itself. As for the solution to the problems, there has been no definite cure yet. But some have reported that moving the console to a cooler spot has done the trick. Others who were not so lucky had their 360s replaced.

In the meantime, we’d like you to take a look at this video clip sample that shows the game freezing up:

If any of you have experienced the same thing, we’d like to hear from you!
