Subject: Disc Not Reading

The first xbox's that came out im guessing because I have one of them and my reach made the same error. Can't read disk -.- So what i did was instead of laying my xbox flat, I stood it up, and now reach works perfectly. Idk why but eh oh well atleast it works everytime now.

what about mine elite 120 gigs bought 2 years ago since i got reach i get that stupid open tray on the dashboard, have the time the disc tray wont even open, and wehn it does it doesnt close all the way<~~ this stared to happen 4 days afer i got reach

I bought the reach package (i got the special xbox the controllers and everything) and it worked fine for the first month. Then i bought dead rising 2 and it either just gives me a blank screen or tries to play it as a dvd. This is really pissing me off, i paid 400 dollars and can only play one game? I hope microsoft tells us how to fix this because i dont have 8 weeks to wait for repairs

Jack of all trades, master of none.

i know somebody with a normal 360 premium (silver disk tray) and it works fine for them as far as i am aware so don't know. Although it is only a year old.

my disc wasnt reading.. and i thought it was my game..

come to find out my $400 reach xbox was crapping out on me already...

thank god it was under 30 days and gamestop just swapped me out...

i really thought Microsoft had their stuff together on the new consoles... but me and one friend have already replaced ours...

* called 1800-4my xbox and they suggested to "clear system cache"(did not work)

* i deleted my xbl account and "recovered it"(did not work)

then i got a little drastic...yesterday i bought the *250gb xbox "s"....wasted about $350...and waddaya know?..the game still DID NOT load the maps!!...

at this point i didint know what to do..i just dished out $350 for nothing?!!..finally my last resort was to actally buy a brand new copy of HALO REACH...and u know what?.....


IT WORKED!! apparently it wasnt my "launch xbox" or a "curropt accunt"

all i had to do was waste another $60 for a new copy of reach!


Still watching this thread for a solution..

^^^^^ To person above and all still wanting a solution.


CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!!!!!!!

It's the only way you are getting this taken care of for free. Sure M$ donesn't have any answers for you about the problem, but I'd rather not know and have a working xbox over not knowing and being screwed over with a copy of reach I can't play on a faulty system.

  • 10.27.2010 10:28 AM PDT

It doesn't seem like a BBB complaint is required. There have been several people who were able to swap out the disc or the 360 for free. I'm just not ready to accept the hassle. Also, I'm in Greenland now and the shipping costs would be rather high.

I still have my old HDD from my Xbox which I got in 07 but my Xbox is an Arcade which I got a year ago. The game worked perfectly for about a week and now I can't run anything in the Campaign or Firefight, I can still do Matchmaking but I want to get all the Achievements which is now impossible. Sigh...

Looking for more info on slims not working. I've had 3 different ones that it has not worked on. First two had the same mfr. date I believe or very close, July 9 2010 lot # 1031x. Newest one mfr. date Sept. 2, 2010 lot# 1036x. I'd appreciate it if people post their slim's info and if the game is working on it.

Currently have a Puerto Rico disc if that still has any relevance, I'll be exchanging the disc today for hopefully a Mexico one, if that doesn't work I'll be exchanging the console at Best Buy until I get one that works, it's still within their 30 days.

edit: already called microsoft, also. said they're aware and working on it.

looks like i was lucky when my mom used her brian and bought an arcade version instead of the normal xbox 360 at the time *the early one* saved my mum some money aswell as i kept the hard drive first thing i did when i bought reach was install so i new nothing would happen to the disc

wow... do you have an internet connection because if you do then you should still get something if your connected to live if not the reason is this...

xbox has a set time at 12:00pm
so the daily credit will never get reset so you can't earn anymore and commendations can't be earnt making it harder
to "help* fix this you would have to go to system settings on the xbox dashboard
open up time/date i think it is
change the settings to what ever time it is and date but you would have to do this every day and you only get 60cr per game even if a campaign mission on legendary :/

Yeah at certain loading point in missions such as Night of Solace and Oni Sword Base it gives me a disc unreadable screen. Gives Me rage so I broke my Xbox headset. Sent My xbox to get fixed.
