ok, ok... I admit that it's most likely the beta copy of the game that caused this, but today I managed to crash an X360 within my first two minutes with the upcoming console.

Today on the Dutch EA World (yearly EA party + press conference), I was simply getting my hands on Need for Speed: Most Wanted for the X360 when I pressed the 'look behind you'-button twice. Unfortunately, the X360 didn't like me doing that and decided to hang.

After my last experience at EA World, which was two years ago, on which I managed to crash The Sims 2, I'm starting to wonder whether consoles are made for me...

In fact, in EA Wolrd, they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people.

I'm sure it's just an early build, nothing to be too worked up about.

Sims 2 has yet to be released on consoles.

 

[Phoenix]

Maybe you should be wondering if EA can make stable products.

hmm... as I'm really a handheld fan, it could it've been part one back then? Pretty sure it was running on a PS2. Was a beta back then, that I'm sure of.

and yes, I know it was an early build this time too

It was obviously beta code from EA.

This isn't an issue of an Xbox 360 crashing. It's an issue of a beta trade-show demo crashing.

Unfinished games are real crash-fests. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

A demo kit crashed 4 times while trying to load a PD0 demo. It seems that the hanging was caused by the default dificulty level, or that's what we guessed after some trial and error.
It happened on a Xbox360 tour that it's making the rounds in Spain. It was on the first day (it was a nice effort but a little bad), in Oviedo, north of Spain.

Some guy recorded it, that and a nice Xbox360-PSP connection example.

You're not alone, EA's games crashed at Community Day in august

It wouldn't surprise me if the final product crashes like that. EA's quality control is abysmal. But you guys already knew that.

They aren't the worst...

Bioware games are some of the buggiest bunch of bugs that ever bugged. The overall quality of game makes many of us forget and/or forgive that though.

That's not EA World -- that's Rand McNally!

The best time for a console to hang is when you're taking part in a behind closed-doors demo and the developers try to laugh off freeze-ups of nearly completed games.

Near complete games crash all the time. All of them. Get over it.

Exactly. Crashes ANYTIME before the game is done have nothing to do with the quality of a game. Though they are a pain.
