Kotaku is making it sound like there is serious freezing issues for the game, but from what I can see from the forums it seems to only be a ps3 problem.  Is there a freezing problem with the 360 version.

there are minor framrate hiccups, but no freezing.

i seem the be the only one with major freezing, i cant even get to play, every 5 mins after i load it up it freezes continuously time and time again, its only with GTA too, i have to go back to the store and ask for a replacement, but because its probably sold out i doubt that ill even get that.

 

i bought it last night at midnight and couldnt even play..

Dude, it's not the game it's your 360 that's the problem. Mine did that when I first got it it only did it on COD3 I had to send it in for repair.

I have the exact same problem. I managed to get past the first mission, then i froze. I went, "Ah well, one time more", rebooted, and froze within 2 minutes.

I have bad memories of that one. COD3 signaled the end of my initial 360. First it was only that game, but then every game would freeze-up. No RROD, just system lock-ups. My second 360 has been rolling along for over a year and I'm hoping GTA isn't implicated its death.

My 360 is dying, and I suspect my wife is involved.

I am having some issues with mine as well. I just picked up GTA 4 for 360 and When I hit start new game it shows a black screen which never goes away. Cannot do anything, system locks up. Should I try that system repair or return the game?

same with me, after i drove to Romans house, after that as soon as i went outside i broke into a car just down the road and next thing i know its froze...i tried rebooting it around 15 times and it just keeps freezing from now on....and i find it hard to believe it is my console, ive already had it repaired (well they gave me a brand new one back) but yeh, its only happening with GTA, all my other games work fine

........Silly games can be faulty too. People with freezing issues need to try another game if no freezing occurs then your gta disc may be faulty that means its stupid so you will have to call the store where you got it from and see if they have any more copies you could exchange for since you got a faulty disc. Bring your receipt, and get another disc if that one doesn't work try again repeat this maybe three or four times and if still freezing occurs then maybe your xbox doesn't like GTA.

From what I understand we were supposed to get the game much sooner but Rockstar was having a hard time with the PS3 version and it delayed the overall release of the game.  Sounds like all the bugs are still there for the PS3.

its all unofficial but seems to be the case.  I do honestly feel bad for PS3 owners.  Cod3 had no mic support - GT5P has no mic support and can't invite friends, now GTA4 with its issues.

8 Hours of gamplay on single player and 4 hours Online and not one Freeze issue, sorry to hear that about the few ppl who have had the problem.

I kept having a freezing problem on the Hung out to dry mission. The game kept freezing on the loading screen.

Clearing the cache fixed it. So I would suggest then anyone having freezing problems to clear the HDD cache.

To clear the cache. Go to memory section of dashboard and press 'Y'

Next press X, X, LB, RB, X, X

Next select 'Yes' to perform maintenance.

Game should now work properly(hopefully)

Chad2382,

Since you started this thread earlier today, you may have since seen in this forum and others that for some its possible to resolve the concern by clearing the console's cache or exchanging the game disk at the place of purchase. However, if you find others that continue to experience issues with freezing or other console concerns, please have them the console freezes support article. In addition, anyone can feel free to visit the Xbox Support page on Xbox.com or contact Xbox Support on the phone for additional assistance.
