I have almost had it with odst, I got the game, put it in. I finish tayari plaza, it's loading the next part and i get disk unreadable. I try it many more times having the same problem. So I install it to my hard drive. after i do that i put it in again, and this time immediately after putting the disk in i get disk unreadable. wtf. so i uninstall it, try it again. same spot i get disk unreadable ( after tayari plaza) so i return the game and get a new one. it gets past the next level, and then i get disk unreadable. so i reinstall in onto my hard drive, this time i get pretty far, i finish kizingo bvd. then go back to the rookie. i got to the oni alpha site, watch the video before it, it starts loading, then guess what. disk unreadable. return it. get another one. same spot. disk unreadable. this is the disk i have now. Im in Michigan, i have halo 3. it plays perfectly, never had any problems with it. i havent tried it with out the hard drive, but i relly dont want to, because ill ave to go all the way to the same point, which will take forever. but im almost certain it wont make a difference.

At least you got to play the campaign. I can't get into the first mission, firefight, or most multiplayer maps. :(

I'm really hoping for a fix this week sometime. I doubt anything will happen over the weekend. Although if it was my company, i would have people on it all weekend.

Well I think if it was that, xbox would allow us to send our consoles in to be replaced/ repaired. They would have to have a recall. They could'nt just say buy a new 360. Or it could be fixed with an update.

I find it funny how 360 owners consistently have problems with their systems yet we still are "loyal" customers. I love my Xbox but I want an easy time playing videogames, not having to worry about something going wrong and having to buy a new system that I can not afford.

Theres also 3 times as many xbox owners out there. If ps3 had the sales of the 360, they would have way higher failure rates.

I wonder how far spread this DRE issue is, since game retailers also can't even play it on the machines they have at the store.

  • 09.26.2009 2:49 PM PDT

lol I wonder if I ever get to join the millions that have beat and enjoyed this great videogame.

Well I Tried All The Above and More and Nothing Fixed It.
NO HD, Does Not Work
Memory Card, Does Not Work
After Each Time I Clear The Caches, Does Not Work

WTF!!! Come On I guess they did not learn from the Halo 3 Disk Issues.

I Have A NEW HDMI XBOX 360, Cant blame the hardware.

$60.00 down the hole, Thanks Bungie
