    lol.  Looks like your issue is here:
    1. cannonballs = new GameObject[maxCannonBalls];
    2.             for (int i = 0; i < maxCannonBalls; i++)
    3.             {
    4.                 cannonballs[i] = new GameObject(Content.Load<Texture2D>(
    5.                     "Sprites\\cannon"));
    6.             }
    Note how you're assigning the texture "Sprites/cannon" to the cannonballs.  You probably just want to add a cannonball sprite and use that for the canonballs gameobjects

    Lol, I hope you get this fixed, the above post sounds like it makes sense. The image in my head of this makes me laugh, I'd love to see a screen shot.

    Start your 360 game in Debug mode, launch the XNA Game Studio Device Center from VS, right click on the 360 and select Take Screen Capture.

    If people spent a minute searching the forums and reading the FAQs before posting I'd be out of a job.
