I dont know if anyone knows, but I recently exchanged for a new 360 at Best Buy, and believe me, I have had my share with them. They finally told me that I can only exchange for a new one once after the first 90 days. They failed to tell me this when I purchased it.
Anyways...so this means all my game saves are gone, including Oblivion! Yes it sucks. Over 20+ hours of playing time - gone!
I tried to get into it earlier, but I just cant. I cant stand not having the stuff I had and not being able to do the stuff I could do.
The gold glitch was the only way I might be able to get back into it, but the update fixed it.
:( I dont think I can ever do it again.
