    Xbox 360 Microsoft deletes mass Xbox 360 crashing claims from Forza 2 forums



    Microsoft deletes mass Xbox 360 crashing claims from Forza 2 forums

    "All they want is money. I demand an explanation..."

    Posted June 29, 2007
    In what appears to be an effort to conceal the over 900 replies gamers provided on the official Forzamotorsport.net forums about Forza Motorsport 2 crashing on the Xbox 360, Microsoft has deleted the long thread, now stating that it’s “exclusive content for registered forum users” only. However, the thread was removed entirely, even to registered members.

    This comes after the thread was revealed and reported on yesterday, gaining plenty of attention. In the thread, hundreds of gamers posted their stories on what happened to the 360 when playing Forza 2, and expressed frustration, anger, and disappointment.

    Gamers on the forum are not going down quietly. In another thread entitled “Was the massive thread about xbox freezing deleted?,” one user writes, “omg? You see, they don't *** care about us. All they want is money. I demand an explanation! What a bunch of pricks. Screw this, i'm phoning MS.”

    In yet another thread, a user says, “I've decided to make a thread to try to get an actual count of people who've had their Xbox 360 die since their Forza purchase...” Within minutes, more gamers have begun posting away with their problems.
    The problem grows...

    Jesus christ, they have really screwed themselves overn ow. Censorship like that will gain nothing but negative publicity, its about time to address the problem and admit development and testing must have been rushed.

    My box is fine but I have had it since november and used it for no longer than 30 hours and thats probaly being generous.

    my 360 died last week while playing forza online, never had it crash but just suddnely got a popping threw the speakers and then red lights, i think however it wasnt forza that caused this, as it has played fine until then, it was a refurb unit so prob same fault as the last 3 ive had lol

    i know this is off topic but the little conplaint i have about the game is you cant have the ingame music running while racing, there are some really good tracks on it, hope they patch it to allow altohu i dont think they will,

    I guess having a car stereo [in driving music] isnt much like simulation, that the argument me and mi m8 had anyway

    Shame as the game contains some nice tracks.

    They'll only end up buying it.

    Actually, there's a business plan there somewhere.

    I have stolen money from a DF member and a member of Disqworld. All my personal details including families details are on file and will be made public to everyone if I do not refund the money I stole or send the goods I promised. My name will be ravaged across the net and the consequences will be severe if I do not sort this fucking mess out.
