Oh, wow, thank you so much. It worked like a charm! Thank you thank you thank you...now back to killing splicers in peace and quiet...

Not help on the actual game but rather a bit of a technical problem. I noticed it primarily after the upgrade came for the game. I downloaded said upgrade and went at it. As soon as I did I noticed my game start to glitch, it would almost freeze, for a second or two, and then resume unhindered. It would happen often. Several times per minute. So I took my original disc out and looked at it, I didn't look at it after I purchased it, because if I had, I would have noticed two big gashes on the edge of the disc. So that was problem, I thought. I took it, exchanged it and tonight I brought it home to play. It's BETTER but it's not PERFECT like it was before. So I want to know if anyone else is having this problem or if it's my Xbox, or what.

My guess it's it's one of three things: The disc(again?), The update(coding error? some other error?), or my Xbox(I've taken the fan add on off as it made a lot of noise and my Xbox seems to be doing fine without it, could this be a problem?).

As I write this I realize I haven't tried other games besides Bioshock. So I'm off to do that. I will update as soon as I have. In the mean time, if any of you have suggestions/ideas, I'd be more than happy to hear them.

Some of you guys are lucky. Every system and game I have are the result of my own labor. My parents always said they would never let me have video games until I was old enough to afford them for myself. They always said, "Save up for it and you'll be able to appreciate it more." This is an absolute truth. I didn't have a video game system in my HOUSE until I was in tenth grade, and that was my Playstation 2. I didn't have a television in my room until I was in grade twelve. I saved up for both. Now that I have a real job I have my 360, and Wii along with my PS2. I know that if I ever have kids they will not have anything handed to them because that is not how it works.

And if your parents tell you 'no' for something, they mean it. Listen to your parents, guys. It'll all work out nice in the end, trust me.

In response to the thread starter: It looks like you should spend less time playing in class, your English is horrible.

I play between classes, if I have the time. Occasionally I have a 2 hour block, and in that 2 hour block I will play as much as I possibly can. I also just purchased Puzzle Quest, which, from what I hear, is absolutely amazing.  I haven't gotten to much into it, though.

Haahaa, okay. I'll do that. 

I just looked up the error code messages, apparently it's a problem with my GPU. 

I'll return it tomorrow or on tuesday or whatever.

Thanks for your help, though!:)

Save me Obi-Wan Kenobi! You're my only hope!

I just got an XBox360 yesterday from my local Target store. I brought it home and kept it in my car until my parents went to bed and snuck it in. I did nothing except put a game in and I've had trouble ever since.

I had trouble getting it started, three red flashing lights on the ring of light. I've read this is the 'ring of death' signal. I fiddled around with it and found that if I pressed the disc tray open button to turn it on, it would work. Sometimes. Well it worked flawlessly the first time and I spent 2 hours slaughtering zombies as I had wanted to. I got tired and brought it up to my room and set it up up there to play in my room a bit before I went to bed. Same trouble as when I had first set it up. Red light red light redlight. So I tried the whole pressing of the disc tray method of turning it on, and it didn't work the first time, it didn't work the second time, third time, as always, a charm. I got it working. 'Cool,' I think to myself, 'I got it to work.' I played for a few minutes and then it froze after auto-starting the game. Turned it off, turned it on again, same freezing thing, then ever since it would do the red light ring of death.

Today I tried to fix it, it played for about 10 minutes and then said the disc was not clean and to take it out and restart the system. I did that and now I can't get it to start up again, so you are my final hope.

Now, returning it to Target is my last ditch effort, and sending it to microsoft is even further down the list. Is this a potential at home fix or am I just a delusional fool looking on the bright side?
