Dead Rising is crashing

Wow, what a drag. I’ve managed to change my play style to suit the Dead Rising savegame system, I’ve killed almost 8000 mindless zombies (and about 15 psychopaths), and when I get to the end of the game, my Xbox 360 hangs. That’s not a good sign. It looks like a heat-related issue, there’s visual corruption over the entire screen, and I have to hit the power button to restart the console. Weak sauce.

I’m especially pissed since I stayed up late to finish the game, and we’ve got to get the dog to the kennel by 8AM tomorrow morning.
