Anyone had the same problems ?
Picture sort of, well, `jitters` or `stutters`
Can be bleeding well annoying cor blimey I should say.
It can interfere with your play as you can get caught out and end up being slaughtered.
Nazis won`t take excuses you know.
It does it on MOH and 007.Don`t have any other games to try.
Common fault ?

If you`re still using the original cables that came with it then that`s what`ll be doing the bleeding I expect. As for the jitters.... tried a different TV? Might be that.

Yes, it seems to be. My gamecube goes exactly the same. I have Starfox adventures which stutters very badly. Also Pikmin has frozen while I was playing it. It is definately not your tv. I bought mine from Toys r us and when I returned it they said they couldn`t find a fault with it and refused to give me a replacement or a refund, and it was only two weeks old (plus I had my receipt!). So as long as it is within a year of purchase I think you should take it back and see if they can give you another console.

That shouldn`t have happened. If you find fault with it and have the receipt they HAVE to exchange it or give you a refund

I only bought it on xmas eve and noticed the fault on xmas day. When I returned it to toys r us in early January they said that they had to test the machine and they would get back to me. Two weeks later after no response from they I finally got through to customer services and they told me to come and collect it as they found nothing wrong with it! It clearly says in their store that if you are within 30 days and have a receipt that you can `cheerfully` have a refund or replacement. I even wrote to head office and they didn`t reply either. So I decided to collect the bundle from them yesterday and when I got it home the machine was all scratched and there were game saves on the memory card from games that I don`t even have. They must have had a lot of fun on my console! The whole bundle cost me £279. Toys r us are a real disgrace and I will never buy anything from them again.

Maybe the mention of Trading Standards and the local press may have you somewhere.

You should refer to previous threads about Toys-r-us.
Their customer service is a joke and I too will never ever shop there again.I even made my wife take back her Babys-r-us gold card and cancel it because I was so disgusted.
Testing stuff is nonsense.The very nature of erratic faults is that they are difficult to spot.
Watchdog would have a field day with collective complaints about them.
