It's not the game, its the Xbox that is the problem.

Xbox's have had major problems ranging from scratching discs to over heating to the hardware just plain and simple failing.

hopefully your friend will be able to return it to be fixed or replaced.

"Microsoft offers a 3 year warranty and immediate replacement of inoperable consoles.[43] This support is offered for those who bought and live in countries which the Xbox 360 was officially released. This policy only applies to the original console purchase and is not extended for the replacement. Once past this date, the customer must pay around $140 (£80) to receive a replacement."


tell him to do himself a favour, wait a few months for the price drop, and buy a ps3.

and waste $$$s on a piece of garbage that should be worth 3p? dude, the 360 openes the doors for the next gen. the Wii urinated on the wall of next gen and the Ps3 isnt allowed in its so bad.

Virus? I most certainly doubt it.

Yeah, it's mostly the 360's hardware. Just see that Wiki link that guy posted.

Another reason why I hate fanboys. rolleyes.gif I still can't believe people actually argue over stuff like this. Just buy whatever system you like, the Wii's sales are higher than both the PS3 and 360.

I agree, I bought a wii and didn't even think of buying a PS3, my mate got one and they are actually alot better than they get credit for.

Anyway, as it has been said before, it is the console itself, not the game. My friends DiRT works fine and he's had it since day 1.

sorry, a virus can't destroy hardware.

The warantee should cover any problems he's having.

or ya know, you could call support and have them send that disk with the file noexplode.msi on it. That should fix it. (I'm joking)

I'm on the second tier in Career mode on my copy of DiRT, playing on a day one release Xbox 360, bought used. Most I've ever left it on was 4 straight days. Play it every day. No problems whatsoever. Hmm...
