I have Slim ..i dont have this issue.. I, too, own a Slim. It's been said a million times, but let me repeat it just once more, this is not a hardware issue, it's an annoying film grain effect. Understand?

I wish I knew how to get it to go away
sometimes it disappears on it's own and the game looks SO much better without it
but that makes it that much more disappointing when it comes back........and it always does....

I was running the game at 1080P on the 360 on a 1080p Plasma tv. I reduced the 360 resolution down to 720P and it seems to have fixed this problem. I've done 5 levels on my second playthrough with no grain/banding issues and it feels smoother to play. Just something for you to try. There patching the game this week, so hopefully they'll fix this problem but in the meantime, run it at 720P.

I've just taken down the helicopter on the Lab Rat level, started to climb some stairs outside and the grain/banding kicks in. Nasty glitch. I hope this one is at the top of the pile for bug fixes. Still, phenomenal game.

For some odd reason, when I play the game off the disk, and not install, I don't get the line issue. But when I play on an installed game, the lines come and go. I tested the opening level and the power out level and found this was the case. Perhaps this is their way of copy protecting to prevent piracy. Either way, I hope it is fixed. I like to install games to keep my 360 running quiet and less wear and tear on the hardware. It worked for me, try it out and see if you get similar results. See you online!

its impossible to play a installed games without disc on an retail 360 ;) It has nothing to do with piracy.

I also have the "film grain" effect with the diagonal lines all over the show. It comes and goes... can't seem to find a permanent fix.
How the hell didn't they pick this up during testing? Patch please!

I never found any problems with screen tear or game crashes whilst playing through it, I wonder if thats down to having it installed. I've installed every game to the HD since I saw what a big effect it made on Mass Effect 1. Plus the sound from the 360 when running discs is ridiculous. ha ha. It said on GamesRadar that there's gonna be a patch by the end of this week, lets hope it fixes this major problem and not just some minor multiplayer glitches.
