Microsft drops the ball on the Arcade System

[Shiggy49]

Just got off of the phone with Microsoft, I was having some freezing issues with some, but not all of my games. I would play for about 10 minutes, and it would freeze. What did Microsoft tell me?

"The Arcade system has problems handling some games."

I asked if this was caused by not having a Hardrive. The reason I bought an Arcade was because I originally got the Pro system, but it got the RROD. I used a warranty from Circuit city and used the gift card they gave me. No point in another Pro when I have a headset, Harddrive, etc.

Apparently, the fault is not the lack of an HD, it's in the system itself. It affects more recently produced Arcade models.

So basically, there's a few games that I can't play because MS doesn't know how to build a damn console.
Some of them are:

Fable II
GTA IV
Left 4 Dead
The Orange Box

I guess Microsoft just dropped the ball on the Arcade.

I don't buy it, I just got an arcade and got the $30 refurb hard drive as a second system for my Brother in Law, and it's running everything just fine.
