So, after not playing ODST (that I got pre-ordered at release) since a few weeks after launch, I decided to fire it up today, just to make sure everything was working, and to watch the preview. Lo' and behold, DRE. Let's start from the beginning, though.
I have an original 20GB 360 from launch day. It has RRoD several times, always repaired by MS.
I put my MP disc into the system, and it booted up to the copyright screen, then DRE. So I tried installing the disc to the HDD. Launching the game from HDD allowed me to get to the Microsoft Game Studios screen, then it promptly DRE.
I then went and cleared the system cache on the HDD, to no avail. I uninstalled the MP disc, and rebooted the 360. Success! I was able to get to the menu, and everything worked fine.
I then put in the Campaign disc. DRE as 'BUN' appeared from behind the clouds. So I went and cleared the system cache again, and rebooted the system. No dice, still DRE at 'BUN'.
The next thing I did was remove my HDD. Campaign disc loaded up just fine, and I was in the menu. But that really isn't very useful, considering I need 1.5GB and my profile in order to play Reach.
So I plugged the HDD back in, which caused the system to reboot. Fire up the game, and once again, DRE at 'BUN'. This tells me that there is something on the HDD causing this problem.
So, I go and delete my ODST save game. Tried to fire up the game, but DRE at 'BUN' again. There was only one thing left on the HDD related to ODST, and that was the Sgt Johnson DLC. Once I deleted that, everything worked fine.
I hope this account helps somebody else. I also hope it helps Bungie & MS to fix the problem.
