While playing San Andreas i am trying to listen to my mp3's on the user radio but it keeps playing them back dodgy like, real jittery and distorted.

And every few minutes when i am out in the country a big black box fills the majority of the screen and the game freezes for 10 seconds while it says loading. While it does this it looks the last second of the radio i was listening to.

Anyone else having problems like these?

Ive resorted to puting the wire over the top of the controller, if you know what i mean, and this seems to help!
I'll get as much out of it as possible!! :)

My Xbox died at the end of 2004. Fan broke and the thing overheated + the DVD drive broke... nearly 4 years though... Tried to fix it but realised a new crystal xbox was only £100 so cu my losses and bought a new one...
If you want to fix a DVD drive just go to ebay or something and get a samsung xbox DVD drive - easy to fit...

On the screen it keeps on saying to plug it in, so if i push the wire around the controller it carries on working, but it can be a bit fustrating at times! Judgeing on the amount of abuse it takes, Im not really suprised. Might take it apart and have a look but that just might make it worse!!

I've heard about people putting PC drives in to speed up their xbox's load times.

You're the first gamer to say that, I thought the ps2 gamers had the problem only.

Prices are harsh ain't they? £100 new Xbox then if you get a 360 most people are saying it's gonna be no less than £300, plus games £40-45 each. Technology's a .....
