It seems that some Xbox 360 owners who bought the just released version of Bully: Scholarship Edition are having issues with the game freezing up and framerate fluctuating from time to time. Sam Houser from Rockstar Games explains the situation that he says caught them off guard.
To quote: “We have just become aware of the issues people are having with Bully Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems. You have our word that we never experienced any of this in QA – in any of our offices or at Microsoft. I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation. Thanks to Neo-Gaf for bringing this matter to our attention. We love our games and put a huge amount of energy and care into making them all that they can be. We would never shove anything out the door – we never have and never will. We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience.” — Via Kotaku
My guess would be they are working on a auto-download patch to fix the issues or offer a working replacement copy in the near future. I’m playing the game right now and I’m not having any problems.
Update: Rockstar has promised that they “will be releasing a title update through Xbox Live within the next week that we are confident will rectify the problem.”
