Title: Gow Screen Frag..
Post by: jcdenton2003 on December 13, 2006, 02:31:00 PM: I just got my second game for 360, gears of war. Been playing it for about a hour yesterday and the screen started to flicker and fuzz, then a double split screen image came up.. I turned it off to let it cool and started playing for like 20min and its started to do it again! Iv had 4 hour game sessions on FEAR with no problems but not its just started doing this! Is my 360 nackard and it will just get worse? Im under warrenty so i could take it back but all my saves are on there! What shall i do?

Have you changed the game at all??? It may be the game causing the issue. Get a replacement GOW.
