I played Fable with no online ability adn even offline it crashed my XBOX
permanently. It wont play any of my games at all now. None. I’m ticked, cause
I’ve called them and all of their numbers dont work! Theres no way I’m paying
$200 for a machine that will simply quit working after I play the best game.
