But it's just like the DDE's that plagued the original Xbox. Some people seem to get 'em, some don't. And it varied from game to game. If I hadn't had a lockup with PGR3 too I'd be more inclined to blame the game or something with the disc, but I also found references to other users with similar symptoms and at least one said it only went away after having MS replace their box (I think this was the 2k forums). <br/><br/>Anyway, for now I'm going to wait it out, but if it becomes a recurring problem I'll send it to MS to replace before the warranty runs out.

I am not a very good button masher and at times end up mashing a few too many buttons at once (part of the problem is that the shoulder buttons are very close to the triggers on the 360 controller - my only problem with the thing). I have also had problems in NBA where the ball will roll out of bounds and everyone just stands there and the ref does not go and get the ball. Sometimes a pause will fix this problem. But the freezing issue does not seem to be a 360 or heat related issue but a freeze caused by a weird combination of buttons. Because I have followed a freeze by changing games and playing NHL 2k6 for an hour with no freezes. <br/><br/>No freezes in Gun, COD2, Madden or NHL. That tells me it is NBA 2K6 and not my (or your) 360. I am convinced that the lockups in NBA 2K6 are software issues.
