Subject: Disc Not Reading

tell me about it... i ended up being very sick all week and i thought sweet at least i'll get time to play reach... and guess what happens... grrr no words can describe the hatred i'm feeling right now....

It's very slack on their part to not have replied to anything about this.... all I can suggest is first chance you get, everyone needs to ring microsoft support and tell them about this issue... the more of us who do this, the more likely microsoft will look into this as well

I'm getting so pissed. I've been trying to play this game all freaking day and still nothing. This is absolute horse -blam!-
Same dude. I've been looking forward to this game for a month. It was almost impossible for me to hold back my excitement today. Then all of this happened and I really want to -blam!- kill someone.

do you have a hard drive attached? if so install to hard drive on the arcade unit and tell us if it works better or worse or the same.

Does anybody notice that their disc ends up scrachted?

  • 09.14.2010 6:57 PM PDT

To the people saying original 360 Elite owners aren't affected, you're wrong (unless I'm the only Elite owner having problems with Reach).

I think the problem is closer to what someone said earlier, with the whole dual-layered disc thing.

redguard350.... does your console qualify under any of the conditions we have been talking about??? if yes then you might be out of luck... however if you previously had a launch console then chances are that if they replaced it then it might work.. only way of knowing it to try the game....

EVERYONE... don't ask us whether this will work or that will work. pretty much everything has been covered already, the only way you will know whether it works or not is to try the game out yourself

Yeah, slightly. Now watch, Gamestop won't exchange the disc or something.

anyways how can microsoft fix this? what is the problem? is it how fast the disc spins or if the laser could read the disc? what is it? and how can a simple update fix this problem?

well it is a white 360 n it says replacement unit everytime i sent my rrod 360 in, so i cant tell if if its a launched 360 refurbished or whatnot.

That happened to me and a lot of others when ODST came out. The solution was sending in your xbox... It was free though. I guess that's... Nice...

  • 09.14.2010 7:02 PM PDT

like i said the only way to know for sure is to actually try the game out and post your results

  • 09.14.2010 7:02 PM PDT

Bungie, waiting on a sign that you're listening :P

What happened to quality controll? Is micro$oft simply tryig to save cash by not testing it on a launch model? Or is its hardware (gpu) literaly not able to handle it?

what quality control? when has microsoft been about quality? the only quality hardware they released has been the slim and that took them 5 years to figure out.

you know it's funny that you should say that because when you install to the hard drive, have you noticed that it does take quite some time... like there is sooo much data there, and i know it's like 8gig or something so yes but red dead i thought was huge as well but never took that long...

I picked up reach this morning, and my disc had some sort of "crud" on it right out of the case. I wiped it off, put the disc in my 360 and got a dirty disc error. So I cleaned the disc and restarted the console and it worked fine. BUT it wouldn't load the campaign! I could play everything else, but the campaign wouldn't load. Inspected the disc and noticed that it had these large blotches, looked like air bubbles under a sticker. Exchanged said copy for a new one, and so far everything is working perfectly.

No idea what those blotches are, my new disc has one much smaller one. Anyone else encounter something like this?
