Yes, I get a consistently low frame rate. No idea why.

I get it once in a while, not very often.

But during a fatality, there is always a half-second pause during the animation sequences. Happens every time. Anyone else get this?

Huh.... So I guess I'm not the only one. I wonder if this is a known bug?

No, I never do, and I have a 360 from launch day. Then again, Oblivion had a way to sort of defrag the drive, but I doubt it's that. I've never seen it.

It's extremely annoying, it takes the joy out of story mode...

It will be worst if it's the system that is the problem...

same thing happened to me with the Kollectors edition for the 360. I returned it for another brand new one and the same thing still happens. I think its because they come in the shitty cardboard slips that scratches them when u pull the game out or put it in. When I pulled out my 2nd MK vs DC it a lready had minor scratches so i downloaded the full game onto the 360 hard drive and its good now.
