Also, I just checked my Dad's 360 and he has the BENQ one. Is ODSt bound to work on either mine or his?

I don't actually have the game yet, but I have an older 360 that's been refurbished twice. I have a feeling that it won't work on mine so I checked the disc drive.

I have the Samsung TS one so should ODST work for it?


My xbox is a few months old with the newest hardware yet it still gives error... so it really depends on some unknown factor.

Since the launch of xbox 360 in 2005, there have been 4 revisions to the console's motherboard.

Xenon - no hdmi
Zephyr - first hdmi models
Falcon - 2nd hdmi models
Jasper - latest hdmi models

With later revisions they have cooler running GPU or CPUs to help prevent RROD. The console suffers mostly because MS is cheap. They use solder free solder, but I think thats a FCC required thing, they use X-clamps to hold down the heatsinks and the motherboard cradle itself causes the motherboard to flex and bend in ways it shouldnt. RROD is caused by a poor design that MS rushed to get out and yet to improve.

Oh, well i had my console repaired in oct of '08. So I may have the liteon or the benq. Is there different color wires visible if you take the faceplate off for liteon vs. benq? Or would you have to open up the console to tell the difference for sure?

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

It's probably the dvd drive for most people, after all, before i sent in my 08 360 in june 09 for E74, it was having issues reading my copy of Halo 2.
And also, Super Smash Bros Brawl and the wii had a similar issue.

And this also sounds unrelated to E74 or Rrod.

And i either have a liteon (probably do) or BenQ (old one did)

We need numbers. If we could tally up the number of people who are having the errors on this site it would give a clearer understanding of the severity this problem.

I mean there are 19 pages of post!! thats big enough to draw some attention.

Yeah 19 pages. Imagine how many people don't know about this site and are having this problem. It has been over a day with no announcement, are we going to work on this damn problem or not?

  • 09.24.2009 12:35 PM PDT

Today the first game sites reported a news that ODST has severe disc problems. This will get attention and hopefully solution also. Bungie is aware of situation but i don't know about MS. Personally i think they don't give a *beep*. Apology would be nice though from them. But i don't wanna play the blame game. I just want to play ODST, that's it. And i think a hell of a lot of people want also.

I really do think this a HD issue, because if the game works fine ( well it does for me ) without the HD then im certain it must be

I agree with the post above i just want to play the game i've been waiting to play. Some of you are lucky to at least play 1 level before it shows the error. All i can see is the first cut scene and bam. This issue needs to get fixed ASAP because this is ridicules isnt there something called game testing? Who ever job it was is an Epic Failure...

This is crazy i can play multiplayer but now no campaign on odst or halo 3. Please fix this......

I had to make my account here just to contribute to this since this seems to be such a big issue.
I just bought the game an hour ago. I started it up ran perfectly...up until I pulled the helmet out of the tv screen. I got the disc read error. Now when I start it up I dont even make it to the menu before I get the error. The multiplayer disc works right up until the game I join is about to start and then I get the disc error

Hey i just want to ask everyone whos reading this one thing
how actually are bungie going to fix this will a patch do it. or are they going to have to make a new batch of odst's ?????

  • 09.24.2009 12:45 PM PDT

I like BETAz.

I've been monkeying with Halo3 per the request, and i've been running into the "disc cannot be read" error. Prior to ODST I've never had this happen with my copy of H3.

is anyone else encountering this?

I don't think its a hardware issue because all other games work apparently except for this one game. So um going to say once again EPIC FAIL on the game test division. I love how bungie hasn't even posted anything about the issue or anything fantastic you guys are awesome...

  • 09.24.2009 12:45 PM PDT

Ehm Green Horn21 go to page nine...now apologise

  • 09.24.2009 12:46 PM PDT

Everyone experiencing a problem with ODST, PLEASE check out your Halo 3 disc. If this is a widespread incident, it will help Bungie out a whole lot more if they can find some commonalities among the problem. Play the campaign and try the multiplayer. Chances are, the multiplayer will work, but the campaign won't. Post back here when you have your results
