I'm putting out a statement right now that says i'm looking into winning a million dollars.lol.. Whats the old saying, wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one fills up first? MS customer service is unreliable as far as this issue goes. They're as much in the dark as we are at this point.

I have downloaded Both discs to my HDD as for ODST so far so good, no DRE,before this I would always be given the DRE during the loading screen directly following the first cut scene. However I am still having problems with the Halo3 Multiplayer disc. I have been able to play a few matches but I still receive The DRE more often than not. This is my second copy of the game. All i hope for is just a patch asap to fix the problem so I can remove the games from my HDD which is practically full now.

Yay News!

The post by the bungie guy hey it's something

  • 09.28.2009 11:55 AM PDT

Sorry meant to say, the code i posted before will not affect your hard drive. If you are concerned about it then disconnect before you try.

YAY just came back from walmart and they gave me my money back :) but know that money has to be put toward a new xbox sense odst has given mine a STD. lol

  • 09.28.2009 12:36 PM PDT

I'm in the UK and got ODST on launch day, put it in and loaded intro to getting in pod then froze, on restarting xbox got red rings-off to microsoft for repair but now worried it'll do the same on its return. Purchased xbox in 2007 - is this classed as one of the "old consoles" I'm reading about?

Thanks for the update urk, still in the dark about what the problem is?

  • 09.28.2009 12:43 PM PDT

I really hope this gets fixed ASAP, My Halo odst multiplayer disc cant play a couple maps. My regular odst disc i cant even play campaign or anything.

  • 09.28.2009 12:46 PM PDT

Thanks for the update. If you could keep us informed that would be amazing. Bungie has to be my favorite games company, inspired me into 3D animation and hopefully game industry (thats another story), haven't lost faith, but the lack of updates on the situation disappointed me but I am starting to think that the problem is with microsoft, who I have always hated, if it wasn't for Halo, wouldn't have a 360. Thanks though

  • 09.28.2009 12:53 PM PDT

Can you count to potato yet little buddy?

So do you guys know?? If I buy a new elite 360 will I still not be able to play?? Is it that my box is to old?? Or are there others having the problem with new boxes??

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring. Launch 360 with two MS RROD repairs. The console has been solid since the second repair though. I have the same problem as most. Disc read error during cut scenes and some loads. Installing to the HDD makes things worse with disc read errors occurring before maps even load (at times even at the menus). I suppose we are a small percentage of the grand total but it is frustrating.

On a side note my copy plays on my roommate's Halo 3 edition xbox and his copy has the same errors in my box ruling out disc issues.

Well more bad news. It seems gamestop caught wind of whats going on and wont return my disc, because there is supposedly a patch coming or something. So the best I could do is a 33$ trade in. So I was like wtf, this sucks. So, Ill wait till friday, and if theres still no fix or response from anyone, then 33$ will be fine for this paperweight. Thanks Bungie.


Same here. This sucks that I can't even get my full refund now. But getting back half my money is still better than having an unplayable game. It just means for me, Bungie has a bigger window of time to get the update up.

Thats me started my "New Xbox Fund" going around the house looking for things to sell, my Birthday is on Saturday, hopefully after that I will have at least £80 and nearly half way there. Going to trade in, Midnight Club, Mass, Fallout, Forza and Fifa, which FYI is -blam!-, and hopefully £20 for that minimum. Take me nearly half way there and possible going halfers with mum and dad for a MW2 'super elite' and Forza 2, solve my issues and give me 250gb to -blam!- with!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO.





Moment OVer

  • 09.28.2009 1:24 PM PDT

Ohh has anyone had any trouble with new game after ODST? Cause until I get the new Xbox I have Fifa and Flashpoint coming out, and MW2 which I bought then decided I wanted the 'Super Elite', love saying that, so going to sell it to a friend cut price.

  • 09.28.2009 1:29 PM PDT

Everyones disc is messed up? Wow, thank God it didn't happened to me. I would of fliped out.

You know, I never actually tried downloading both to my HDD. I have only 20gb, but I guess I can try to clear some space and see if this works.

  • 09.28.2009 1:43 PM PDT

Can anyone answer my question?

Nope, can't answer that. ODST was my newest game.

Well, downloaded both discs to my HDD, didn't work.

Tried that code to reset to factory settings and it just kicked me back to the menu without doing anything. I even tried that other code that was posted in the comments section of the video. Did the same thing.

So I guess this has to be solved from Microsoft's end. That doesn't leave me with alot of confidence.
