Problem with new 360

    i traded my pro for the elite last week and i noticed when playing all my games theres something like delayed pixels or screen flickering when theres movement in the game, i had no problems with my old xbox. (im playing it on an sd tv running at 60hz)

    can anyone shed some light on this situation because i dont know whether its a faulty console or scart lead, i checked to see if the cables were loose but everythings slotted fine.

    thanks

    i was having some trouble with red lines going across the screen and the colour going funny at times in games like call of duty 4 , lego star wars and in pgr4 i had some strange pixel pattern when it started up ( i tried two lcd tv's and it was the same on both ).

    i was thinking it was the elite but i have changed from using the component cable to the vga cable over the last few days and have not noticed it happen again .

    still early days but i'm now leaning towards a faulty component cable for the cause of my trouble so you may have a faulty cable.

    My mate got a new one (premium) after xmas and there was some problem a bit like that. On Oblivion he said there was big yellow diamonds and stuff instead of walls etc. o he brought it back to Game and they changed it straight away and they let him keep his old hard drive too but didn't give him a new one.
    I'd bring it back if I were you.
    I'm not sure what video out cable you are using for it, presumably HDMI to SCART? Maybe this has something got to do with it?

    probably wouldnt matter but if your using the scart maybe by mistake you flicked the selector where the output is to hdtv as opposed to just tv or whatever it says.

    This was happening me, like when I be playing Forza 2, red lines would go across the screen, and then a week later, I got 1 red light in the bottom left quadrant, and error E74 on screen. It means the AV cable is fried or the GPU is gone. Im so pissed! AV cable's are 30€ anyways, and error E74 isnt covered in M$ warranty.
