Bayonetta demo killed my Xbox console
by Qwikstreet on Nov.18, 2009, under Xbox 360
So, I won myself an early beta code from the great people over at Unscripted 360. Awesome. I have myself a nice night to myself for gaming and decide to start off the night downloading the demo and checking it ok. So, I go and enter the code and load it up into my download queue. It starts to download. While I’m waiting I want to go and check out my Facebook status. So, I go an click on the link and before it can load the Facebook splash page it locks up the whole console. What the fuck! So I power it off and then back on. No luck. Pull the hard rive, power source, plug back in, power on. Nothing. It loads and within the first ten seconds, it locks up on the dashboard.
Thanks a lot Bayonetta and Sega, you fucked my box right before the holidays. God damn it!!!
Attached is a video of me trying to power it back on.
**FYI – This is an Arcade 360 with Jasper chip from Holiday 2008 shipments.
Attaching video from my Blackberry showing what happens.

I find it strange this would happen, but the Bayonetta demo's been free from the Japanese marketplace for ages and it's been perfectly fine on my 360.
Do I dare retry downloading it...doubt it. Just another black mark in my files for Sega, which is ashame. Sega provided me lots of enjoyment in my tween years so many decades ago.
I'm wondering if it could be sheer coincidence or maybe by equipment? Anyone else have issues with the early beta code that has the 2008 Holiday Arcade lot (Jasper) and a 60Gb HD?
I have NO idea why you got Fed :(
