Subject: Disc Unreadable

Just adding myself as a person with the same issue. I've been following this forum for a while now hoping for a fix but haven't seen anything. If anyone from Bungie actually reads this they can PM me since I live just down the street and would be willing to let them watch ODST hand and then give the "Clean Disk" error.

I have the 20GB HDD that RRODed > 1 year ago, and one interesting note for me is that if I remove the HDD I seem to be able to play campaign thus far. With the HDD on, I can't make it past the opening scene for the first level. Also, the 2nd disc (mutliplayer) runs and plays fine.

Can you count to potato yet little buddy?

Ok so now I am having problems with my rock band and lego games..... I have never had a problem until I put in halo.... By the way the PlayStation I bought instead of a new 360 is AWESOME!! We should flood cnn with emails about this issue. It is not right to leave us hanging for so long... My favorite quote so far is

"Psh, my Nintendo Gameboy still works from launch date. And that is a lot of hours of Tetris."

Its so frickn true!! Damn u microsoft and bungie your being shown up by a frickn gameboy!!

My Nintendo Entertainment System still works. Anyways, I still believe it isn't Bungie's fault. I'm sure if they could say something, they would. Microsoft most likely told 'em to keep the yaps shut until they figured out what was up. I DON'T BLAME YOU BUNGIE...except Stosh.
THAT'S IT. Guys we are blaming the wrong people. It is all because of Stosh.

I agree that Micorosoft scammed us on this game conspiracy or not they probably love the idea that all these old 360's are crashing and hey why the blam would they find a patch for that? If this had been happening to the new Elites this would have been fixed the same blamming day the game was released. I bet they're laughing it up right now because nobody cares about the people that have the old a$$ 360's. As for Bungie this might not be their fault directly (even though this game ruined my 360) but they've been condescending to us and trying to deflect the blame from the beginning. Test Hole Ninja was saying pm me the issue pm me the issue not enough of you guys are telling me your problem. You want to know the problem bud the damn blamming game has a disc read error. Then he says this and i quote
"I'm seeing lots of people claiming they played Halo 3 and it worked great. But when I look at their game history, I've seen only one person who played Halo 3 in the past few days. Some of the posters haven't even played in the past year. I need you guys to let me know if Halo 3 works on your console today. I don't need to know that it worked last month, or last year.
I've been getting a lot of good information on the other 2 questions I asked though, so keep em coming." OH REALLY? O.K. guy are you going to do a background check on us too????? Make sure we're not lying about anything else yea we made this all up you blamming fool. He's supposedly working on the issue but really he's checking people information so he can say they're lying.
Then this genius Marvelous babble says AND I QUOTE copy and paste
urk |
Marvelous Bauble

The first post of the thread has information on how to report this problem. We've heard from 60 people total and yes, we're working on figuring our what's going on. As soon as we have something concrete, you can bet we'll let you know. Until then, gotta sit tight (and yeah, we know that sucks).

OH I SEE ONLY 60 PEOPLE! Making it sound like its a few whiners with the problem just like microsoft always does saying every issue is ten whiny little babies. Microsoft is just hoping they don't get sued again for 360 issues. I really hope you don't work for Bungie URK you Genius that would be blamming sad, i'm hoping you're a volunteer or else we're really doomed. You know what pal you're saying you blammed 60 people out of $60 and in my book thats theft. That's a lot of money you stole right there. It was nice chatting with you guys but i'll probably be banned again for speaking the truth so see ya around!!!!! Actually i'll see ya soon CODMW2 YEA BABY

The sad thing here is lack of information.

We are not alll going to call MS and spend hours on the phone. MS support knows (or at least some of them) what the issue is.

Thier forums are useless and no one replies.

Bungie, why can't you tell us what is going on and if/when there will be a fix.

Or else recall this POS and fix our consoles.

Unbeleiveable lack of responce to an issue this bad.

What is going to be done?

  • 10.13.2009 1:33 PM PDT

I honestly think they DO NOT CARE ABOUT US. They are happy with there money they got from us. What can we do know? Honestly I am so confused on what is happening or is going to happen.

has anyone tried unplugging there xbox from teh router or disconnecting the wireless... odst only works for me when im not plugged into my router... then again it could just be a lucky coincidence that its finally working for me but the 2 times ive been able to play after teh disc read error, was when i was unplugged form my router... not sure if i twill work for all of you but its worth a try i guess

Seriously no fix yet? This kinda pisses me off, especially since i can take my brand new game and play it at my friends house but not my own...

Does anybody know if any other games will have this issue? Forza 3 is also MS published so i wouldn't be surprised if we experience the same issue with that game.


Wow bungie better make a god damn fix otherwise reach will be
-blam-

  • 10.13.2009 4:57 PM PDT

This is getting to be absolutely ridiculous that Bungie or Microsoft hasn't given out any recent information for you guys. I was able to fix my ODST disc by simply installing it to the harddrive but like many others now my multiplayer disc (both mythic and original game) is malfunctioning on me. Although my error isn't nearly as bad as a lot of you its still a detriment to the game and cuts me out of the game when loading up a map on matchmaking and custom games even. This happens randomly to different maps each time. I'd rather not install the multiplayer disc to the harddrive since it slows down load times. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE US SOME INFORMATION!

  • 10.13.2009 4:59 PM PDT

3 weeks Bungie.

3 long and cold weeks.

  • 10.13.2009 5:30 PM PDT

This is retarded, Microsoft told me they would call me back but they dont know when. My friend called and they told him that its the first time they have heard of this and to repair it its going to be 99 dollars. This is straight Bullsh**

Here is the information i have gathered through a supervisor & a support Agent..

- This issue is increasing daily

- When i asked what is Bungies involvement in this, He Replied bungie will give you information on Halo 3 ODST Videos, & Walkthroughs. I Ask the question again he said the resolution for this problem will be solved by microsoft. so i think we should take this blame game of Bungie & pressurize microsoft more.

- I Ask when will this problem be resolved. he stressfully answers me like he is not sopposed to answer the question & answer you will get a call back tomorrow from a Xbx360 supervisor.

Will share more info as it is avaible

Wow... 3 -blam!-ing Weeks you two -blam!- companies 3 WEEKS come the -blam!- on you pile of retards. I don't even buy games that often, and I'm telling you now, my next game wont be -blam!- Reach if this problem pops up again, don't feel like waiting a -blam!- century to get a fix. Jesus.... Least get some communication going -blam!-....

  • 10.13.2009 8:55 PM PDT

I was able to play ODST and beat it on legendary, but the game would freeze alot and loading a level would take like 5-10 minutes long. Now it wouldn't even load campaign or firefight. I waited for 30 minutes and it was still at 0%. Music would always cut off too and would have some kind of lag. I hope an update for xbox or odst will fix these problems for everyone who has this. So we can play odst without getting pissed off like me having freezes each 5 minutes...

i hope none of my games are affected from odst. games i have played after trying odst were skate 2, l4d, halo 3, and assassin's creed. those games worked fine and i hope that other games arent affected. hopefully an update or w.e fixes your problem...

I've been watching this thread since the day it was posted. My friend had the disc read error and could not play with the rest of us.

I never had a problem. I played for two weeks and no problem. My friend exchanged his disc for a new one. Worked for two days. We played campaign together and he would get disc read error. He had to shut down, start up, and rejoin the party. We had to do this for every level. When we were done I noticed that the game saved our first level as completed on normal. We played legendary. The second level didn't record any campaign progress even though we finished the level twice.

Next night I go to play Firefight and frozen screen. After 3 min. of frozen screen I turned the xbox off and on. RROD. Game Over.

I have never had an issue with my xbox. Never. Called MS told them what happened. Support said send it in. My one year warranty is gone but the xbox is covered for 3 years for three red rings. Nice it's free, but no xbox for 3 weeks.

I told her my concern was getting my xbox back and having ODST break it again.

Me: Are you guys close to having a patch or update for the ODST/broken xbox issue?

Support:"We are aware of the issue and are working on it, but this is not why your console is not working."

Me: Maybe. Maybe not. But I don't want to get my xbox back after three weeks just to have it break when I play ODST.

Support: "We are aware of the problem and working on it. Thank you for your request. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

So they acknowledge the issue but obviously aren't anywhere near figuring it out. I don't want to be one of the "I'm leaving xbox for playstation" people, but the prospect of a console that works is very appealing.

Halo CE to ODST. This one of the best titles I've played. I would like for this to be resolved soon. Three weeks is ridiculous.


my friend got super pissed at his xbox. his cd drive somehow broke and got the e 74 and his warrent was done... hes planning on smashing his xbox and switching to ps3... this is his 3rd xbox.

Also, even if you have called MS, add another email support request and reference this post.

BTW MS and Bungie I rethought my holiday spending and good luck getting more of my hard earned money.

Call of Duty comes out early Nov...

I tried to return my game to Best Buy last night, and they would only return for a new copy of the game (apparently that is their policy for software). I think other stores are the same (they don't want people to play the game and beat it and just return it). Has anybody been able to return it to Bungie, is that an option? It is absurd that I have to keep a game that does not work on my system. I have my 3rd copy now and of course that doesn't work either. Bungie / MS won't get my money again I actually need a new computer and am going to get an iMac. This is really bad customer service.

  • 10.14.2009 5:59 AM PDT

i have the same problem but it is with my halo 3 disc and even when i bought odst the multiplayer disc does it as well even when i downloaded it to my hard drive

  • 10.14.2009 6:16 AM PDT

Im just saying that this thread must live on since this is our only way to spread the word about the problem and for people with the same problem to talk about it and ventilate.

So please,stop hating,and just respect our thread.


I banned him. We're not in the business of silencing people.

Really??? you message us just to say you banned someone? Bungie must be looking at this thread if they post that. they just dont wanna do jack -blam!- for us.

im just a lucky one. i had this problem on my first disc. it had like a wierd squggly thing on it with discoloration. i returned the disc for one with no discoloration on it and its has messed up yet. (by the way i have the original xbox pro with 20 gig HDD)

Everyone has rules guys, and I'm sure Bungie is trying not to break them. Microsoft won't tell us anything, so even if Bungie does know, I'm they aren't allowed to tell us.
