So since Halo Reach, and Black Ops both sucked horribly bad, I'm probably going to sell my Xbox. I guess Sony is just a better company.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

WHAT?! Reach and Black Ops are both awsome, I mean what was wrong with either of them?

It worked for me I talked to someone in redmond washington at microsoft and they sent me a repaired box and then i sent mine in and they switched disk out they called once a week to ensure all swaps were working total time was three weeks but i was never without a box. I have some other post on here regarding the process.

I'm on day 4 without my 360 and going into withdrawal.

yes i can also see a darker spot on the disc it's hard to catch though i have to put an angle on the light to see it more clearly

yea i got a problem guys because i have an xbox elite which i even sent to get it fixed at microsoft about two years ago which means it should be up to date or so i thought the same problem is going on with me and when it does read it it reads as a dvd maybe Bungie thought that people wouldn't be playin on the older versions or something ugh how anoying

Mine got worse over time, until it would take 15-20 minutes of ejecting and reading before I could get the game to start. Call the # and if it is still under warranty they should take it back for repair.

Ye well you can get a really soft towel or something and rub over you disc it worked by me and i turned my xbox when i play playing reach

  • 11.19.2010 6:41 AM PDT

That doesn't help if you don't have a reach-compatible xbox 360.

Today it happened to me also, it read the disc as a DVD, but I only opened the tray and closed it back and it worked, and now I can play...

I had the same problem. Randomly days later the disk just began working. There is no explanation to it.

I'm hopeful that the new box back from microsoft will solve the problem. My last box was a refurbished replacement from October 2009. This will be my 5th xbox 360 since launch.

Anybody have recent experience on the turnaround time in Mesquite, TX? My box was received on Thursday 11/18 but they haven't updated it to "Repair in progress" yet.

Appreciate the feedback.
