I did. And it really, freakin', sucked.

Out of 6 others I know who completed it, two other guys had it too.

So. Lets have a poll of it. Please only vote if you've finished the game.

I had it after a couple hours of playing when I would try to buy something from a vending machine I would freeze...it only really screwed me one time where I hadn't saved in awhile but after that I would save before I would buy something to be safe...

I loved the game though and it really didn't effect my gaming experience too much

Glitchy. I lost 4 hours of progress once, 2 hours of progress twice. It has to to with overuse of the camera combined with many enemies and particles on the screen. Total freeze and it sucks.

Great game, but the only two buddies I know that bought it also suffered from the same thing. We are completists though, casuals may never see it.

Great game, HORRIBLE GLITCHY though.

I'm curious about this too. I hope that A) no one is lieing and B) only 360 owners are voting. I own it on PC and it did crash sometimes, but that's because of stupid Creative not wanting to write good drivers for their Audigy 2 ZS card (and because Windows Vista isn't 100% compatable with it)

So the consensus so far seems to be...

A minor issue, but still worth mentioning in the review? I remember a lot of people were angry at Jeff for including it but it does seem to be a problem, even though it's limited.

Newnab

It seems to be random, and when it happens it CAN pose a problem. I think that's what motivated its inclusion.

If it was a predictable bug, then the score would've either been lowered to an 8.5 if it regularly disrupted gameplay, or it would've been dismissed as an insignificant problem, about as bothersome as a minor clipping issue. But the fact that it can happen seemingly at any time and can thus potentially disrupt gameplay means it's something to take note of, but not something that would rob a great game of a deserving AAA score.

I had an intermittenbt freezing problem... clearing the cache fixed it right up.

To clear the cache, hold LB and RB while booting the game (immediately from starting the game until the 2K Games logo comes up.)

No, Ken Levine even said it was a problem with the HDD cache. Other games like Oblivion get this problem also so Bioshock should not have been rated against because of this as it is really a hardware problem with the console and not with the game.

When I first got the game, I played through on the medium difficulty, and it was as smooth as glass. I didnt look at the achievements online, because I didnt want the story spoiled for me. SO, that basically cost me three achievements. Last week, I decided to go back and go through on the hard setting and get those last three achievements, and while I did do it, I had this problem CONSTANTLY. It just about drove me crazy.

Before the update no. After the update I did experience some severe framerate issues but when I cleared the cache everything was fixed. I don't know what Gamespot experienced seeing how they reviewed the game before the patch came out...

Mine froze once but luckily after a few minutes of crappy play on my part which ate all my ammo, money, eve packs, and health packs so I just went back and played about 5 minutes or so. No biggie, and it never happened again. Wait....this is the random freezing glitch where you'r stuck in one place, right?

Happened to me a few times, lost a few hours progress. Seemed to happen to me if there were alot of enemies on screen, or action going on and i tried to hack something/access a vending machine.

It happened one time during my first play through. But, through my second play through it ran smooth as silk. No biggie.
