The loading times are terrible, but having never played it on the PS2 I don't have a frame of reference. Is there anywhere it tells my class schedule other than a bell icon that only shows up when I'm already supposed to be in class?
So far I'm glad it's a rental, trying to get to class and do the missions is a pain I've restarted from my save spot so many times I wanted to kill Algie not save him.

Rockstar "Horrified" By Xbox 360 Bully: Scholarship Edition Issues
We wrote earlier today of the issues surrounding the Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, hoping to get a statement from Rockstar Games on the status of either a fix or a replacement plan for those affected. For those not up to speed, the 360 port is reportedly plagued with freezing issues and audio glitches in addition to a less than solid frame rate. Rockstar issued a statement tonight, saying the staff was "devastated" to learn of the issues surrounding the Bully port, something they say didn't come up in the QA process.
Their full statement follows.
We have just become aware of the issues people are having with Bully Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems. You have our word that we never experienced any of this in QA - in any of our offices or at Microsoft. I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation. Thanks to Neo-Gaf for bringing this matter to our attention. We love our games and put a huge amount of energy and care into making them all that they can be. We would never shove anything out the door - we never have and never will. We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience. Respectfully, Sam Houser
We'll let you know of any future developments on the Xbox 360 edition of Bully: Scholarship Edition and hope that Rockstar Games and Microsoft will do their best to address fan concerns swiftly.

Or sending out booklets explaining why you're doing it wrong.

Where does the patch go on a system without a hard drive?

I haven't opened mine yet, I have Lost Oddessy and MLB 2k8 to play. I am a little concerned about the freezing issue, though. That and after playing 2k8 today I got the RRoD but it started up normally again after I powered it down, so I am getting a a bit nervous here

Just goes to show, you should never buy ANY electronic device (PC, operating system, video game system, etc...) on launch date.

I picked it up the other day but I haven't tried it yet. I blind bought it because of all of the great things I heard about the PS2 versions and the great review it has received, but I wanted to try to finish some rentals before I started playing it. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend.

I rented the game last night. I played for about an hour and it froze on me. I immediately took it back to blockbuster and exchanged it for Tomb Raider Anniversary. The guy wasn't going to let me trade at first, but I talked him into it. The game was ok, I didn't really have fun with it though. Everything seemed to rushed, the clock runs way to fast. You are just rushing around the entire time, and don't get time to take a more leisurely pace.

Yup. You take the classes until you pass them.
Once you totally finish a subject, you no longer have to take that class so you can skip it and spend that time exploring. Time still matters but not as much later in the game and more of the surrounding town opens up, giving you new missions. There's also a carnival that has mini games and an arcade.

I spent ~8 hours in episode 1. And it says that I've completed 10% of the game. Will it be a 80 hours game for me? 
Oh and I'm really bad in Music and Biology, I think in both of them I'm still in the second class.
