Unplugging my Xbox this much just to play every other day is bad for it

It's going to wear out my port if I keep doing this, which I'm sure is the point anyway, considering there isn't much else to do about 90% of the problems I experience on this game. Can't place items? Time to unplug for 10 minutes. Can't get out of the cheat menu? Time to unplug. Game keeps crashing? Time to unplug. I have a lot of packs and kits downloaded, no cc or mods, obviously. But why is there no other way to "repair" the game without unplugging it? If you have a game this big, surely there is something EA can do for console players in this way. It's a few times a week I have to unplug if I play for even an hour every day. I have a brand new Xbox, and this shouldn't be happening as frequently as it does. This game needs better programming if it can't handle being played every day without me having to "repair" the game by unplugging my console.

    Check out the bugs forum for temporary solutions. You should never unplug the console while it's running because that can ruin it. If nothing works just close the game, if it's unresponsive reboot the console.
