"some people claim it's because the textures must be loaded from the disc instead of an HDD"

So why not do it that way then?

It's been said that for example GTA4 will have one big load screen in the beginning, and supposedly you play the entire game without an additional load screen (Which I highly doubt, specially on laborious missions), but then again is a next-gen system, so it wont be as much of a issue as VC and SA had.

Very true!

Thanks alot, and you're right, SA had one of the worst pop up issues I've seen.

Hey, its probably a stupid question, but is it normal that my Xbox games texture change dramatically as I get closer to objects...

eg.

Playing CoD 4, as i get closer to an area, something pops up out of nowhere ( think of a bush, etc etc). It happens to every Xbox?

Can't wait for it

but 'till 09 ?? ):

and Chris been doin steroids lately...

Buy the charge and play kit.

its onl $20

and your problems will be gone.

Get COD4 bro

you wont regret it ((:

Thank you guys, im just gonna opt with buying the wire thing.

thanks all (:

The only thing I can think of is batteries, but I'm sure you checked that. Is it a first party controller? If so, call Microsoft and discuss it. M$ has pretty good customer service from what I hear. But no, my controllers have never done that. Good luckTigerFangRed

i did, but didn't feel like going thru the whole mailing process

so i just bought a brand new controller, and still does the same thing.

im thinking is the xbox now =///
