    The only confirmed issue with LA Noire is that it can freeze when first run. Solution on X Box is to install and on PS3 is to delete installed data and re-install. It's a very isolated case though and it's causing people to think that a console going tits up is linked to the game. The only problem LA Noire has is with the game itself.

    Sounds like you've had two extremely unlucky cases man, what was the issue with the first console? I've found the Slim consoles to be a huge improvment on the older models, had barely half a dozen returned since launch last August.

    I've had my slim since launch and no problems as of yet. And mine's heavily used, others in the house it all the time when I'm not around. Just rotten luck on your part I suppose.

    Can't remember first fault could be e72 error I think. I think I have been very unlucky alright but I am kinda pissed as the old console never let me down.

    Maybe next console it will have no problems well here's hoping.
