I doubt its your elite, i have one aswell that i purchased not even a month ago and same thing happened to me with BIOSHOCK in the 2 to last and last levels. I have a feeling its the game.

You're on your FIFTH 360? I mean.. I've only had my elite for a few months, but there has to be SOMETHING in your configuration that is messing up all your boxes. One breaking is just a fluke. Two breaking is tough luck. Three breaking... something has to be up. Maybe if its your basement there's some sort of a moisture issue? Maybe there's something up with your power supply and you're getting extra surges or something. I'd say you look more into that before you have to throw down for ANOTHER 360..

I posted something abotu Bioshock acting up yesterday. What is up with this Unreal 3 engine? Is it just me or does it not seem like its where it should be? I mean for it to be messing up on such high profile games seems a little off to me..

It's a problem with the game's cache memory filling up, not the system. When you start up the machine with Bioshock in the tray, hold down LB and RB until the start screen to clear the cache memory. If it starts to stutter after a long period of play, repeat as necessary.

I am on my 5th console and I went through 3 elites and 1 premium. My first elite was overheating and it just had freezing problems. My second one had harddrive issues. My 3rd one only lasted for one day. Now I am on my 5 console and 4th elite. Its running fine and it is a lot cooler. When I returned my 3rd elite in, the guy told me there have only been 2 returned that at the store (including me), but he's seen countless premiums returned. I think the elites are better, but I got the prp just in case.

It's not uncommon for the game to lag in that particular part of the game.

i've had my 360 premium for almost a year and it runs fine. also bioshock has never messed up on me even though a lot of people have said that their copy has been acting up. so idk what the problem is but maybe some people just have bad luck.

My elite failed me when I asked it a simple question... namely 2 + 2, but it just sat there, with its green light playing the Call Of Duty 4 beta, blowing s**t up around me with 5.1 surround sound, having a bunch of teenage men making their lude comments cause I'm a woman who just so happens to pull off the ocassional groin shot with the sniper... what is a girl to do?

5th? You stated it was in a TV stand. I'm assuming its on the top shelf with no other components and your stand has a closed back. If so that would be concern #1. I have my elite standing on a table next to the tv. note: its on top of the table, I have had the elite for a couple weeks and never froze once. My first console was a launch core and has never had red lights but does freeze up and did not like The Darkness.

BioShock lags around Point Promethesus/Olympus Heights area for everyone, so I doubt it's your 360.

My Elite hasn't failed, and it better not for the amount of extra cash I had to shell out to get it to replace my failed 360 Core. But I've only had it for 2 months so we shall see.

Figures.. my box was just lagging there so I got worried and turned off my system for it to cool off. Now I'm going after that jerk in that level after dinner. I'm thinking I need to run back though because I don't know if 3 health kits and 4 Eves are enough to take him out (not to spoil, but all you who have been there know who I'm talking about.)

my elite doesnt like to read blue dragon all the time.

i often get a "put this game in a 360" message just about every time i put blue dragon in. im thinking of calling MS when im done with halo3 campaign.
