Not a case mod? Paint would not look this good. I love the look of my 360, the face makes it. Everyone who sees it says so. All the MS ones do suck though. I hope more come out with the eject button and dvd tray. They look more seamless that way.

The only one I've seen that I liked was that chrome one. I really like the look of it attached to a 360 with the Black Knight case.

I haven't seen the chrome one, but I got the official silver faceplate to fit in with my other AV equipment. Problem was, you could still see the off-white body of the Xbox 360, so the effect was ruined. After half a day, that silver faceplate was on eBay.

Still waiting on a faceplate + case replacement that looks like a XeDK.

get your power brick better ventilated like on top of a mini fridge and get a new game disc of elder scrolls

Elder Scrolls is notorious for locking up on loading screens. It does for me about once per play session, it's the only game that has ever locked up on me.

STEVEHABS · « **Reply #52 on:** May 04, 2006, 04:07:00 PM »

and what would be the problem mr omniscent. you can say whatever you want but the reason the game messed up during the loading screens is from lots of heat.

almost the same with me. i have a couple that arnt too bad, but the fact the the rest of the console is white makes it look really cheap and nasty.
but ill keep mine, and i might even pay a bit more to get the ones for each game that has them, that i buy. to me, they look like shit, but some other people like them

I'm with dotster, where your power supply having heating issues would have nothing to do with your game freezing. The game disc, however, could... but since others said they had the same problem, i highly doubt that that's the problem.

It's probably just an issue of the game being poorly written, causing it to lock up for seemingly no reason.

ANYWAYS, back on topic. I really see the faceplate thing to be really stupid. It's not going to impress your friends, because there's no creativity at all. And, it'd be easy to have the same colors as your friends, which in my book ranks as uncool. I love my heavily case modded original xbox's (2 of them) that I did with my own two hands and they look awesome, and drop jaws wherever i take the machines.

So I guess Im saying I'd rather paint, cut, and light up an xbox 360 myself instead of buying a stupid faceplate/case for it. Just my two cents, y'all.

i agree with you Dizzan. but i think ms made the face plates for the larger population who arnt into harcore modding their xbox's.

well the only thing you can do then is get the intercooler or use water cooling to keep the gpu and cpu cold and hopefully elder scrolls would be ok otherwise i guess you just have to save a lot.

well i think its pretty obvious that if it is just one game that is freezing, then clearly it is not heating related. the game is probably just badly coded. for example, quake 4 tends to freeze a bit during laoding screens.

maybe the way they coded the game was too much for the xbox 360. with quake 4 maybe it tries to load too much at once if thats possible.

i can see where you are comign from, but i dont think that is the problem. the 360 will load as much as it can. it wont crash becvause it is trying to load too much.

what it will be is maybe read error's off the dvd-rom, or buffer overflows or some coding problem such as that. i have no doubt that some of this is because the coders needed to make a game that had no hard drive to cache files to. if everyone had a hard drive, then there would be far less loading crashes and far better laoding times.

i can imagine that in teh not too distant future, you will see games appear that require a hard drive to play. i really hope they go down that path
and that they release a bigger hard drive. i need about a 606 gig hard drive

agreed, face plates r like the gayest things ever. like who would pay 20+ for something they sould spraypaint, or make themselves for cheaper, and make it cooler!!
