Poor Gus downloaded
Prince of Persia Classic from Xbox Live Arcade only to discover this very strange bug that renders the game unplayable. As you can see from the video, our hero has gone from
Warrior Within to
Warrior about eight feet off the ground. The afflicted gamer has tried erasing the hard drive's cache, he's deleted his game save and he's downloaded the title from XBLA three times already, but nothing fixes the bizarre glitch.
Naturally, Gus is very unhappy about this, having spent $10 on a game that doesn't play and can't just be returned to a store for a fresh copy. Gus tells us that he is still waiting to hear from anybody at Microsoft regarding the matter, but this might be something they need to look into. Not even the butterfly can find a way out of this.

Ok, I'm sorry.
When asked about this, Norris remarked, "That ain't no glitch."
'Till now I have not found anyone with the same problem I had, or any other glitch for that matter.
GUS
Anyhow...try going into the system blade and make sure the saves/files are all gone then try again?
Yeah, I love to really add a lot to the conversation.
Okay wow, I wanted to buy this but now I suddenly feel like something is holding me back. :O
Everything.
But anyway, I just downloaded the demo and it works fine. Is it only the full game that doesn't work?
From what I've played, the game is pretty decent.
The game is as great as it ever was. Fighting is well harder in this one though... in a good way.
It seems that only I have this glitch.
GUS
Now I'm pretty wary of buying the full version.
GUS
my heart goes out, let's get the word out!
No word from Microsoft yet.

What stage is this? it looks like getting out of the catacombs where you fight the skeleton or I can be wrong. Still I havent got to any glitch. Yet.
So my advice is to borrow a friends 360 HDD, open an account with your live subscription and download the game and see if it happens. Try it in both consoles. I think it should work. If the glitch persists then maybe a conflict with some other file in your HDD.
This is all wild thinking here but is worth a shot. After all I dont remember Gameloft making console games, just 1mb cell phone games.
@MrBAMF: Why dont you join the worldwide mass suicide of internet trolls?
Seeing as you seem to be about the only person who got that problem, it definitely sounds like there's a conflict with something in your 360.
It could be your saved games but the nature of the bug would rather indicate a problem with your firmware.
So yeah, make sure you're fully updated.
If you mean the dashboard version, yes it is the latest.
