"MLB2K6 on Xbox 360: One strike 'n yer out! Freeze Bug in Game...
Newly released Major League Baseball 2k6 has left a lot of Xbox 360 gamers in a bit of p*ss. The game contains a bug, a serious one at that which strikes you outta the game due to a freeze. The bug isn't consistent, it happens at various times - one gamer reports it happens sometimes when he strikes people out, to which his screen goes all black and the only way to get back in the game is to restart the system."

Any type of exploitable bug you think?

if every freeze in a game could be used as an exploit, there'd be at least 30 exploits out by now..

Arakon,

Ever heard of a buffer overflow ?

yes. but as said above, it's a bug, not a buffer overflow. plus, the 360 hypervisor specifically prevents buffer overflows, it's one of the new security features.
