This is ridiculous, once again Bungie doesn't even mention it in the update. I don't care if it's your problem or not, it's your game, take some responsibility in at least acknowledging the problem. This is exactly the kind of thing that gets those stupid lawsuits started for what is essentially false advertisement. So frustrating.

Hey guys. Refunded my ODST game then bought another copy from another retailer, now the open tray error is gone and I have not seen any other errors so far :)

Makes me think it was just a bad disk batch as the first retailer is one that is not visited often but the 2nd one is on the high street and would have sold out of it's bad batch in the 1st day or 2 after release.

Hope this helps

P.S. I had already returned the game twice before I did this.

im just gonna snd in my other xbox which is broken and if it still pops up then its the game cuz as soon as i got the game like as soon as i openedddd it and put it in n then went to play firefight with some friends i started it and then that msg poped up saying cnt not read game im like wtf.... and now its gotten worse now i cnt even play it and i looked at the disc and its all clear no scratches or nything so im guessing if u get ur xbox repaired then it might work but it might just be new and not use to the xbox so i wud try snding ur xbox in for repair. its kinda -blam!- how ppl have waiting for ths to come out for like a yr then wen they get it. their xbox cnt read the game i mean i was pissed.... i been waiting ever since i herd it was coming out and as soon as i get it and put it in it cnt read it like wtf.... so if nyone wants to no if snding ur xbox in works just ask me in bout 2 weeks i snt mine in like 2 days ago so yea. and if nyone wants to play halo some time add me: doctorPWNED k bye

I have lost the little respect I had for Bungie all they care to do is deflect the blame. My friend and i have both had our 360's since day one never an issue till this piece of junk $20 map pack was released for $60. Fortunatley for me i returned this piece of blam game so blam you Bungie will never purchase from you again and I have 9 other people i game with that will no longer be purchasing from you either. We play together and if a couple of us can't play whats the blam point. Can't wait for a true developer INFINITY WARD to release a real game MODERN WARFARE 2 BLAM and I guarantee all ten of us will be gaming without these blam issues. Blamming Bungie blam you

Hye guy's i'm kinda a xbox newb as i only got mine about a week ago. I'm having problems with the multiplayer disk, it worked ok for about 4 days and now it plays the "disk unreadable" message. Can anyone help me out?

  • 10.10.2009 4:36 PM PDT

Two weeks? You got a new one too and it is happening to you too? Anyways I would love to help you cause that would mean there is a solution for all of us, but sorry we have no idea and are still waiting. I have faith and just play different games because luckily my 2 next games are Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Which both do not even have a date, and are made by BioWare lol. I have faith Bungie and Microsoft you guys have actually done a lot for us, except for this issue of course.

That really doesn't sound like the problem the people here are having.

If all you experience is slow load times, consider yourself lucky. Also, make sure the 2nd disc isn't installed. It loads slower that way.

  • 10.10.2009 9:23 PM PDT

im one of those lucky thousand people to get this and i find it so strange that i was playing this and it said unreadable when i started last exit or put in the second disk

so i got mad and played some halo 3 regular for a while and went back to the odst and it magically worked

and after 10 minutes it went bye bye on me

what a shame what a blam shame

  • 10.10.2009 9:53 PM PDT

Loading...

So is it a possible chance that the summer update kinda messed up the hardrive and now can't play new games like odst?

Yeah, I kinda figure an update from the past 3 months must've made certain games unplayable with this stupid error, Halo 3 and ODST included, though it seems it's just those two games.

C'mon Bungie, I want to play some Grifball, but this stupid error is getting in the way of my good time! :(

BTW, has anyone tried a new HDD? I thought about it, but they're so expensive. It's kind of a turn off.

  • 10.11.2009 2:22 AM PDT

Will take this back for a refund Wednesday I think. Pretty obvious this isn't going to be fixed anytime soon...

Next time you blackmail us into buying a full price game just to keep playing another games multiplayer, maybe bug test it?

  • 10.11.2009 4:09 AM PDT

Well what can I say about the new game theory? OF: Dragon Rising is playing fine!! For me it is the update.

  • 10.11.2009 7:24 AM PDT

Send me a PM of your email and I'll get you a lockerz invite. 100% legit Thx CarloMorris for pic.

Screw it. I'm done waiting. I'm just going to return my copy and get Fallout Goty edition or something. Might get it for Christmas if they have it working again.

  • 10.11.2009 8:39 AM PDT

I have waited too long for an update, and a word to fix the issue i am returning my copy today. Sorry bungie but i believe in quality control and for all to get the same quality for the same price. I guess from now on they need to start selling xbox games with system requirements on the back just as they do pc. Would rather spend 45 mins reading system requirements on many games then waiting on one that doesnt work.

Congratulations you have failed the internet. =\

Hopefully reach doesnt have the same issue =\

  • 10.11.2009 10:35 AM PDT

yeah, i just got back from gamestop,exchanged my odst for credit towards modern warfare 2, sucks big time that at of all the games i have the only ones that dont work are halo 3 and odst. sucks even more that we dont hear anything from bungie about this
