Wouldn't you know it, i just got to the final boss in Enchanted Arms (it is like a 5 fight sequence - after the 2 fight sequence) just to have my Xbox 360 hard freeze. That is so fricking annoying. i also had a freeze at the final boss of Star Ocean 4 (i should probably finish off that playthrough sometime).
Is it too much to ask that consoles (and games) be perfectly stable and never crash (even if i play for 13 hours straight)? i guess so. Freezes (especially hard freezes) are probable my second least favorite technical hassle (the first being the red ring, or light of death).
On that subject, i am on my 3rd Xbox 360. My launch window console (December 10th) lasted a little over 3 years before the video card failed (or i think that is what it was), the replacement lasted about 1 year before it started frequently freezing and locking up (so i traded it in to Game Stop, i know that is kind of bad). My current console is a 4 GB slim with an added 250 GB hard drive. i had to send it in for repair less than 6 months in - probably because a firmware update bricked it. i was really not happy and almost quit playing it, but ultimately i had too much already spent on it (invested is totally the wrong term).
What are your video game related annoyances?
