So, yesterday I got a new FF13 special edition xbox console, and I stick FF13 in, it doesn’t even work, telling me to clean disc and all that. MY disc was spotless.

I tried multiple times, and when it did work, it went into the “xbox 360″ screen for dvds, and gave me the dvd menu. wtf?

So, did getting a new disc work for anyone?

When I installed disc 3 to my hard drive on the xbox 360, I would always seem to walk into a glitched up area, where there’s no floor or ceiling. When I uninstalled it it fixed that problem, but my game would freeze when I’m doing Crystarium or teleporting or loading games. Hope there’s an update for this. Oh and the music stops in combat sometimes too. Then I decided to play music off my hard drive to see if that would prevent the freezing. It worked for a while, but failed in the end.

Well, after putting a good 12+ hours on FF 13 today, I decided that I was going to go ahead and beat the game. I still had about 1/3 of the side missions left and I figured that since most of them were “A” rank, I’d wait till I could get to them in the second playthrough. Everything goes swimmingly until I get to the final boss. *SPOILER ALERT* I beat Barthandelus and just finished with Orphan’s first part and then I notice one of the cutscenes slowing down. The framerate just went to zero, but the music was still playing and it managed to get through part of the cutscene before it transitions to a white screen and part 2 of the Orphan battle. And it just stayed at the white screen. The music stopped, I could still pause and unpause the game, bring up the xbox menu and everything, but the cutscene just wouldn’t advance. I waited about 15 minutes or so at the white screen before I decided to restart the console to make sure my saves / the console itself were alright. No red ring of death, and my save file is just fine. I’m thinking it just overheated from being used for so long. I’ll know more tomorrow.

For me the game has been fine up to the 3rd disc, once I got to the 3rd disc every battle I get in the game immediately freezes and I have to turn off my 360, I have called xbox support and there is nothing wrong with my xbox also seeing that its fairly new, I tried downloading the game to my hard drive but that didn’t work either, and I tried playing my 3r disc on multiple xbox’s but it also didn’t work. I’m guessing there is something wrong with the disc because I have not touched the 3rd disc until today when I tried to play it. I also contacted Square Enix support and i’m waiting for a reply.

This can’t be true! This is a f***ing joke! How the f*** can square-enix put out a game that destroys consoles???!!!
My XBox 360 ran perfectly until i played ff 13. It caused a RRoD and the game kept freezing all the time… Fortunately my xbox somehow survived, and i hope that it will continue to work…
