Turn 10 on Xbox 360 bricking: it's not Forza 2 - Image 1 


In a weekly Pitpass community update made back in Monday, Turn 10 has confirmed that Microsoft's Forza Motorsport 2 does not cause the Xbox 360 faults directly. But because there are still claims that could cause alarm to existing Xbox 360 owners, Turn 10 has reiterated that they do not have a solution for the issue.

"We've gone and tested Forza 2 extensively against the hardware and have confirmed that the game itself does not brick Xbox 360 consoles," said Community Manager Che Chou. He assures people that although the instance reports may seem numerous, they note that it's a small percentage of users that have reported the issue.

That said, however, Che Chou did comment, "We acknowledge that it's very frustrating. ... There isn't really a software solution here." He pointed out that Microsoft's warranty and unit replacement service was still active, stating that the company would "ensure that newer units -- or at least the ones they return to you -- will have the red rings of death issue resolved."

I picked up my 360 on launch day and never had a problem with any other games. When I tried playing Forza 2 the game would ALWAYS freeze on the loading screen before a race. This happened for both the retail game and the demo.



Seems like there's something wrong with the game to me :\

pardon my asking but I'm really trying to understand ur point here..



how can you lay claim that the 360 is a quality console if it has a problem with the GPU cooling (present in each one of he 360s)??? which causes it to die... aren't ur statement contradictory??? and the "if it wasn't for that" statement well my friend IT IS already that... it's not like you to use hypothetical scenarios in ur arguments Common Sense.. u know better.



for a $600 console you would expect Sony to put out a trustworthy machine... but wouldn't you expect that out of a $400 console as well?

# Wait for the 720Guest 2007-07-04 17:48
This is trully sad for 360 owners! But hold on, you can wait for the 720, it should be powerful and well ventilated enough not to crash !!! Oups, sorry... Microsoft probably won't allow the compatibility of 360 games on the 720...



Time to get a PS3 !!!

Maybe its a weird coincidence, but my 360 died Monday night. I have only played Forza 2 since it's release. I've owned my console since Nov. '05 and have not had an issue until now. Again, maybe just a coincidence, but it still sucks the same.
