Grand Theft Auto V Reportedly Crashing Old Xbox 360s
Options
Rockstar Support has responded to the issue.
Owners of Xbox 360 consoles manufactured between 2006 and 2008 are claiming that Grand Theft Auto V is causing the console to crash.
Kotaku reports that a number of gamers who own an Xbox 360 manufactured or refurbished between 2006 and 2008 have experienced issues with freezing and, ultimately, crashing consoles.
Problems apparently start following cutscenes after the first mission, though it's not clear what's causing them. Some people have suggested a small hard drive could be the culprit, but users who have fitted a larger hard drive are apparently being hit by it as well.
A number of possible solutions are being thrown about, though it doesn't seem that any have been proven to work. One that's meant to have a fairly high success rate sees you delete all game data, clear your system cache three times then delete marketplace data from storage system items before unplugging your console for three minutes. After this, you should install disc 1 and power off without inserting disc 2, then restart the console and install the second disc. That's advice from Xbox Live support though, and doesn't seem to consider Rockstar's guidelines about not installing both discs.
We've reached out to Rockstar to see if it will confirm the existence of the issue, and whether or not a solution is being sought. As soon as we hear back, we'll update this story.

I got the black slim one, no problems here. I keep telling y'all to stop getting the 1st wave of systems. See this ? lol. PS4 and Xbox one bout to have hella bugs. Then they gone fix it and then lower the price of the next wave of systems SMH.

Mine still fighting on strong. Inb4 online destroys my ? within minutes.

Mine has disconnected from Xbox live a couple of times and won't let me reconnect. Clearing the system cache resolves the fault.
The game has never crashed though. -

Not doing all that ? to play GTA V.
Kinda glad I didn't cop now.
My old ass 2007 Xbox 360 can't handle it. -
I'm so glad that I upgraded my both of my PS3 & 360 last year. I don't understand why they come out with them heavy ass consoles to begin with. Next gen is going to be the same way and then they are going to drop slim versions of the PS4 & XB1 consoles a few yrs after the originals hit the market.

Yea, my 360 been on its death bed all year. GTA V pushes it to the limit. Haven't had any real performance issues yet with the game itself, but the struggle is real. Just need it to hold on 2 more months.
