Well it may also be the firmware of the DVD drive, along with the board inside it, the UNK model with BenQ (not sure what firmware my drive is) has no issue, I suppose all we can do is round up the MFR dates, and send them to bungie and have them work with MS on what the issue could be.
if it's only a DVD drive (or firmware) issue, why won't mine play from the HDD? does it install corrupted?
BTW, I think we deserve something for our pain. This is a complete cluster-blam!-. An overpriced game, which was supposed to be done months ago, that we can't even play...
Yes the install would be corrupted, if the Drive cannot read it properly, then it wont properly read the disc to install it to the Hard Drive.
Wait! So theoretically you could take your HDD and disc to a friends house (someone without this problem) and install it on your HDD and it would work fine? Someone should try this.[/quote
Would work in theory yes... but.. you still need the disc in the console to run the game, a portion of the game is read off the disc (you can hear the sound of the drives lens reading the disc) so I assume you would still encounter a disc unread error (especially if you cant read the game to boot it up) but that may be a temporary fix for those who can start the game and play portions of it. If someone could try that and post results... fantastic!
