Yesterday, on a TV show about video games, the host open the show with this simple comment: "Disappointing... Very disappointing..." while holding the GTA:IV box. He explained later that he had started to play the game but that it had crashed 5 straight times in a few minutes only.  |

So far mines only crashed on me twice during 6 hours of playing. But I have heard "horror stories" about others games crashing every two minutes.

Oh wow. I've put at least 12 hours of gameplay into GTA IV so far and it has not crashed on me once. I play it on the PS3. I wonder if this is a 360 problem?
So yeah, no crashing for me. Sorry not everyone else is that fortunate.

I think it has something to do with the version of the console you are using. On the case I reported earlier, the guy played it on 40-something console (which one, I don't remember) while he should maybe use the 60-something version to avoid the crashes.

Well I am using the Spider-man 40g which is the newest released PS3. However, the game just started crashing on me. It happened twice in the last hour.  Not happy. |

Well, every game has flaws, even one so routinely hailed as the Second Coming!  |

Well, every game has flaws, even one so routinely hailed as the Second Coming! Don't you mean the second "cumming?" Sorry, couldn't help myself, especially with our earlier talk. Back on topic... don't you miss the days when games were simple, and all you had to worry about was storeing them in cool dry places? |

Back on topic... don't you miss the days when games were simple, and all you had to worry about was storeing them in cool dry places? I don't remember those days. I remember blowing furiously on my NES games (it gets worse and worse!) for minutes at a time, trying to get them to work. And I remember the connections on the SNES port being quite sensitive too. -GB |

I remember the days of BBC-micro games with no save functions, Moonquake on the Acorn and single-player text adventure games. I also remember Cave, the multiplayer BBC LAN text game |

I hear you on the NES, but the SNES? I never had troubles. Still don't! I must have had access to cooler drier places than you ^_^

I don't remember those days. I remember blowing furiously on my NES games (it gets worse and worse!) You know what? I was told that, because they were of bad quality, the little metal teeth inside the console that are reading the cartridges oxidize over time, preventing the teeth to read the game correctly. Since it has been over 20 years that the NES is out, a lot of people are experiencing problems today. |

It was actually mainly the link between my Action Replay and the games that caused problems - most of the games were fine. -GB |
