Played the game all the way and no probs for me, i think if GTA for the 360 locks up its the 360 not the game.

Just my guess.

Sounds like the 360 is about to go or the hard drive is messing up. Try playing your games without a hard drive and see if that fixes it, if it doesn't we'll try and find something else for you to try.

Mine has only froze twice ( In the same Day ) once while I was playing single player and once when I was on multiplayer but both times I shut it off then on and it worked good. Btw that youtube video about the guy stealing the video games haha! and then the news people blame it on the game Rolling Eyes pathetic imo.

All my other games work fine I have never had my 360 freeze on me like this any other suggestions from anyone...My final option would be to just return the game until Rockstar figures out this problem.
Yep that is a bad batch of discs you are getting then. It happened with a bunch of morrowind elder scrolls discs and bethesda replaced a bunch for free because of a production issue with the discs. Try renting the game from blockbuster or whatever rental store is in your area and playing it. I can almost guarantee it won't freeze up.

That might it. The game is working just fine with the harddrive removed. I guess I'm screwed on all my saved game data, huh? The memory card can hold my profile though.

Just move your profile and as many gamesaves as you can fit to your memory card, and then when everything is backed up try formatting the hard drive and then try playing with the hard drive, see if that fixes it.

I got one lock up today, Brucie called me to pick him up to go on helicopter tour with the girls, I got to his place and got out of the car. then my guy and them just stood there, I could not move and none of my buttons would do anything, not even start button. Although my character and brucie with the girls would not move, the rest of the world arround us was going on like normal. I had to shut the system down and restart, but that is the only time this has happened after about 40% of game play, and has not happened since.

Just wanted to thank those of you who gave me suggestions on my freezing 360. Unfortunately, today I got the red ring. A friend of mine says she's had to send in hers 3x for the red rings. I'm really looking forward to that hassle. Guess now I can go out and enjoy some fressh air.

Sorry to hear that bud, hopefully they send you a Falcon and then it most likely won't get another 3ROD

Let us know how your experience goes with getting a replacement 360 and hopefully it will let you play GTA IV
