Purchased ES:5 Skyrim Game of Year Edition. Been Playing for 30 hours. Reached level 12 almost 13.

Seems out of those 30 hours I've exprienced around 5 full on Xbox360 system crashes. Screen Turns Black, Music will play out to loop end. I'll need to Restart the console.

Expireneced around 10 Loading Freezes. Either the Model will Glitch out, or the screen will stay black for longer then normal.

What is the Direct relation between loading errors and Having an Internal Hardrive?

Could Not having an Internal Hardrive be Causing this problem?

I dont believe there is actually a GOTY edition of TES V... Where did you get it?

Okay Looking at Game. This is NOT game of Year Edition. The Version is not different. says NTSC some number. Does not state Version.

The outside of the Game Disk case.

Front Lower Right Corner has Small Image; Game of Year. 2011 Video game Awards. 10/10. official xbox magazine.

Back Top; 4 Logos of companys saying this is Game of Year.

Map and Advertising inside.

oh ok... that makes more since... but when i played this on my xbox i had the same problem... i actually just installed the game to my harddrive... didnt get rid of the freezes completely but it did do it a lot less
