If it makes you feel any better, they haven't fixed the issue with Xbox 360 where, if you shut down or freeze (My typical case. I always properly exit but it'll freeze on exiting.) or whatever without properly exiting POL, you are unable to load the game anymore.

Other than the workaround involving an MP3 player. I find it oddly hilarious that I'm plugging my Apple iPod into my Microsoft Xbox 360 to play a game originally built for the PS2.
