Grand Theft Auto V crashing older Xbox 360s

article published on 22 September, 2013

There appears to be multiple reports that older Xbox 360 consoles are having trouble playing Grand Theft Auto V. The issue seems to involve Xbox 360 consoles manufactured or refurbished between 2006 and 2008. Players report that they cannot play for more than thirty minutes without the game freezing up the console. "I've probably reinstalled the game about 10 times now," a player reported ... [ read the full article ]

Thankfully not happening on every single one. Mine is first gen 2006 model, and I played up to 10 hour sessions at a time. Yes I have no life, go me! Mind you I do know how to take apart my 360 and clean it periodically as frig do consoles ever get dirty.

I would just assume they are doing a full install which was advised by Rockstar do not do. Again though I have done a full install so who's to say, but GPU or CPU overload would be the primary suspects.

This sounds like a heat issue to me. Or maybe earlier models had a different type of RAM?

Similar issues have been reported to Rockstar if you buy the digital version for PS3s: so it's not just Xbox but likely how the code was compiled for the game.

It's far less a problem on PS3. So much so that it's not even news worthy. This game is just to graphically complex for the Xbox360 plain and simple. Let's not be fanboys and just admit the 360 is a cheap piece of crap, with the weakest specs, and oldest technology. They NEEDED to make XBOne to stay relevant and somewhat competitive. The PS3 could go another 3 years without the need for a PS4. That comes from a GAMER. I don't fanboy lust over one brand or console more. I like them both but the facts are the facts.

The only reason 360 is so dominant this gen was Sony's insane PS3 launch prices. Xbox was not the spec/technology leader it was the value leader. It's like saying a Chrysler 300 is just as good or better than a MB S-Class because there are more 300's on the road. Simply not true.

Good thing I read this...was just about to buy it the other day. I think I'll wait for a definitive fix before purchase. I never planned on a full install anyway, but I'm not taking any chances...lol
