A girl a work with said that she bought the disc version, and it ran horribly on her console. Really choppy, hard crashes and so on. She said she looked up some info and apparently it's a common problem, although she said apparently it's more common with the 4g xbox's which she's stuck with cause she recently got robbed.
I have a 250 g slim, what's the word on how the disc version would run on that? Or is it just inherently bad? She said the downloaded version worked for her fine, I would just rather have it on a disc.

I have the 250 gb slim and it ran fine. Only minor stutters. I know that's not the case for everyone though

I also have 250 gb slim and it stutters quite a bit. I was able to look past that though. Then the game wiped my save twice and I gave up. Now I am UNABLE to access chapter 2 no matter what. I hate this game soooo much. But I also love it soooo much so I bought it on Steam.......
It kills my soul a little bit to give them even more of my money. I just happen to be a bigger Walking Dead fan than most people. I own all the collected Book editions and have been reading the books long before the show was ever announced.

I have the 300+ GB slim hard drive, and I can't start episode II after completing the first. It keeps going back to episode I.
To me, that's a big problem.

Damn, that sounds like even worse issues than I though. She mentioned erased saves but I forgot about it.
So does the downloaded version work fine?

My 2 friends that downloaded off xbox live have had no problems.

I have the disc and ran it under one of my profiles that's on a USB stick and had no hard drive in and it ran like crap, borderline unplayable. Then I tried it on another profile on my 120GB HD and it ran fine, it must use the hard drive to store data while playing the game much like Halo 3 and Reach do.

1. It won't install to my HD so I have the HD noise for no reason.
2. At the start of every episode there is a ton of lag and lip synching problems.
3. There are often small lip synching issues when the scene switches
4. The game was caught in a neverending loop once (counts as a crash)
5. The graphics glitch out regularly with lines in the ground, or with Lee simply hovering above the ground with his shadow not meeting the ground at his feet (peeves me as it is really distracting)
6. It does occasionally stutter when I need make a decision.
One of the worst games for glitches to happen because of the serious tone. It brings it down from obviously legendary to legendary but rough. Other people are experiencing 10x worse, bringing it to "horrible disappointment" for them.

Well, I ended up downloading the game, and I'm still having some pretty serious issues. Check out my other topic.. "how am I supposed to feel the tension..." if you want to know the lowdown on those.
And I agree. While the game is something very special and very well executed, the bugs that I've ran into so directly contradict what they're trying so hard to create with this game, a real dark atmosphere with real tension, that it's seriously depressing.
I've only finished EP2 so far, and even though I am loving it, these bugs keep it short from GOTY material for me.

had zero issues at all.

Thinking is the hardest kind of work, which is probably why so few engage in it.

Yea, I only had minor lag issues every now and again. Ran great. Freaking loved this game. Might not ever sell it.

I must be a lucky guy; my worst problem with the game was that it caused my XBox to made dreadful noises because I couldn't install it to my hard drive.
But I have an XBox 360 elite with a ton of space, so that may be the reason mine worked out okay.

Have a 329GB Slim and the game is unplayable, never seen a single player game lag like trying to play WoW on dial up. What's up with that?
Also it won't even let me install it on my hard drive, is there a way?

You can't install it and you can't beat the game. Your options are:
- Break the game disc (fun and satisfying, but kinda stupid)
- Attempt to return the game to the store (worked for me with Gamestop, but this most likely will not work for everyone as they don't knowingly take back defective games..)
- Purchase the game on the computer (still suffers from save problems, but not as much and no lag)
- Download the game on Xbox arcade (still a gamble to work properly, but increased chances of success)
Either way you look at it you've wasted time and money here. You can give them more of your money and download it all on the arcade... It's a very unpleasant situation to be in. I lost at least 6 hours of time dicking around with the retail version. I felt like a sheep giving them more of my money buying it on the PC. But the game is SOOO GOOD (when it works)! I had to do it....

The disc ran fine on my xbox, and the same disc runs like crap on my friend's xbox. She gave it back to me and it ran fine on mine like before

It's true. I had to sign out of PSN to stop the frame-rate from dropping.
