I've had small problems with games crashing in the past, GoW used to every now and then and XBL would on rare occassions, but with Oblivion the game crashes every time I play it.  Only once did I get the "Disc is unreadable" error with Oblivion.  Every other time the console has just frozen up.  I know a freeze is coming when I hear the disc stop spinning.  Is there any way to fix this or am I headed for sending in the console to be fixed?

Happens to me all of the time, it usually starts working again after about 10 seconds, and the 360 is almost silent after that.

Remove the hard drive, and try it. If it does the same thing, send in the consol.

If I remove the hard drive how am I supposed to play my saved files? O.o I don't see the point in playing Oblivion if I can't save...

No, cause if you remove the hard drive, and nothing freezes up, then that's the problem. Start a new game and all, see how long you can get in it before problems happen.

I guess it can't hurt. I'll give it a try.

That usually happens when you jump through doors (or when you go to open doors while jumping) also do you have XBL to download the new updates?

Gah, no. I mean, I can, but I just haven't gotten around to it. It's really hard for me to hook up to XBL because I have to run an ethernet cable from my router, tape it across my wall, over the door way, and along another wall to get to my 360.

Quick question, are the updates/patches I can download from XBL bug fixes or crash fixes? I'll go get my ethernet cable if they are.
