Ok, I'm not just talkin about occasional breaking up of the graphics - it's happening ALL THE TIME - even during cut scenes and cinematics. Any ideas? Don't have similar problem with any other games - its really ruining my experiene of the game. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Have you tried installing the game into your HD?

Personally I think it sounds like a dodgy disk. I'd take it back and tell them whats happening. Although I've had a few problems with games (ie) Fallout and after installing it seemed to fix the crashing error.

no, that doesn't seem to be the problem - I originally had teh game installed onto the HD and uninstalled it because of this probelm - same experience whien runing of the disc. I've switched the resolution to 1080i (someone suggested it on another thread. It seems to have helped a little I guess... grrrr!

I don't have a problem with it and I'm playing the game at 1080p. If someone hadn't mentioned it 99% of the people wouldn't even know any existed.

Hi Guys Just wanted to say I'm having the same problem and its happening a lot. Especially if there are fast action sequences or the colour on the screen is changing from say a white background to a black background. it's only happening on this game. I thought it was my HDMI lead and switched that, checked connections etc. I think i'll switch my settings to 780p and see if that makes a difference. I dont really wanna send the game back :(

I have made a pretty in depth comparison between both versions and while the game is virtually identical on both consoles when installed to the HD', the only benifit to this seems to be shorter load times.

I noticed problems occur a bit more on the PS3 version, but not by much.... On the other hand, when I play the game directly from the disk on the 360, it's virtually flawless. When installed to the HD, not only do I get visual problems, but audio seems to sparatically go out, especially when I reach a checkpoint. If let's say Sheva is talking, Her mouth will keep moving with NO audio until it's finished loading or saving.

Personally, I miss the typewriter! lol.... Anyway, if you have the 360 version, try playing from the disk, you'll have longer loads, but it looks a whole lot better.

Could be a refresh rate issue with your respective TV's.

I had problems with screen tearing with RE5 as i was using VGA cable, then i switched it over using component cable and guess what, no more screen tearing.

I've been playing it WITH a VGA since I bought it and have not experienced any problems at all. Granted I'm using a 19" widescreen monitor. I think it has more to do with your setup, then the connection. Make sure your TV is configured correctly and that your 360 settings match what your TV is capable of (i.e., native res, sound output, etc).
