I received a call from XBOX support to tell me that the situation is still ongoing and that they're trying to get a solution soon. So hopefully that means a firmware update this week. Who knows?

Probably means that they are trying to get a solution to what exactly is happening, not just a solution to the overall problem.

For all we know though, MS might already have the update to fix it, but they are not giving it to us. Or they may be working on the update to fix it, which may not come out until another year.

But if I had to guess, it would probably be something in the middle of the two.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? A year?

I wish I was still legendary.

New problem:

Installed to HDD. Worked fine until a few hours ago, and now sound cuts out and the game frequently freezes. I hope MS are near releasing a patch - they're going to be even more unpopular very fast if they don't. This is, from what I've seen, effecting more than just ODST and H3.

I was just saying that it could take from tomorrow to a whole year for it to come out. In another words, I was saying when the update might arrive.

I hope "Soon" means "time travel back to September 22 and get a fully functional ODST that doesn't get the stupid error", because its October 4 for crying out loud. :(

In war, it doesn't matter who's right, it matters who's left.

Yea, me too. I was stuck at the very end of Uplift Reserve where the music kind of loops, no sound, and right when I make the jump the game has a disc unreadable sign pop up. But when I removed my harddrive it was working past that level.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Hi,Im new here and Ive been reading here since my Halo3 ODST disc is also screwed-up and im getting the same error msg as you guys.
And yeah my xbox been behaving strange ever since odst came out and i tried it,the need for speed shift demo frozed and then crashed.It has never happened before.

But one strange thing is that my ordinary halo3 disc shows the exact same error msg as the odst disc,even before odst came out.
The last time i tried my halo3 disc before now was before the system update,so it must be connected to that.Somekind of bull-blam!- with the firmware or something.

Anyway just wrote to let you guys know that theres another unhappy customer...
I want a goddamn update and I want microsoft to aknowledge the problem.Dont try to hide it.

  • 10.05.2009 7:52 AM PDT

Don't complain about what Bungie creates, play it.

Why is this thread still circulating?

It's bigger than just "that guy". He's merely another victim of the scam. If only people would just pay attention to the details. If people would look at the actual URL for that linked site, they would see that xbox.com is not the true address.
