    Default HALO Version Original Xbox Freezing During Thrillville Game

    Since my 360 died i have started to use an original xbox to pass the time. it is one of the halo edition ones. I have become addicted to the game thrillville and cant stop playing it. Heres the thing. It seems when i have played for 2-3 hours straight the system freezes. It has frozen on me about 4 times in 4 days. I kind of start to feel when i have been playing for a certain amount of time and sure it enough it freezes. It just freezes whatever is on the screen and stays like that. I have to turn the system off and restart it then it works fine again.

    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Thanks for the help!

    Fun fact: The halo xboxes were the "non-defective" returns from the black xboxes. Due to warehousing laws, they couldn't resell a console that had already been sold unless it was under a different SKU. Most limited edition consoles were once returns. Same with consoles that have pack ins.

    They get sent back to the manufacturer. Once they go back through testing, they're repackaged as some LE or pack in and resold.

    Shit, no way! That's incredible, I never knew that. Was it really more cost-effective to create a whole new casing rather than just keeping them as warranty replacements or something?

    They already had the cases from the debug systems.

    It's fairly common in the industry, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all do it.
