I'm having the same problems. White xbox with no HDMI, returned my disc for a new one and still having the same problems. Every other game works perfect.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

It's probably your Xbox. My copy works fine and I was even able to install it. OP What year is your Xbox?

so would that be the responsibility of microsoft or bungie to make sure they work on all types of xbox consoles....

You would think bungie because they made the game but then you'd think microsoft because they'd have some kind of quality control department to look over these things but now it appears as though it's overlooked

hey modz.... LOOK HERE!!!!!

Lois My Darling!!!

I've tried everything. I even opened up my xbox and cleaned the lens voiding the warranty. I figure i'm just gonna have to spring for a more recent xbox because the launch console is having major problems. I have found out that I can play one game of firefight in matchmaking and once it goes to save the data it shows the disk unreadable error. Then three straight green screens before it works again, for one game.

I think microsoft should spring all of us affected with new xbox consoles... merry christmas ya filthy animals

Every game I have reads fine but Reach will not load. No scratches and it won't even get to the point where I can install it to the HDD. It even came up as a DVD a few times...


I didn't even READ your post, but as soon as I saw your name was Skwisgaar I immidiantly jizzed myself.

well we basically can narrow it down to 2 things- disk drive, or gpu problem. obviously micro$oft has updated the disk drive quite frequently- disk drive models include- lite-on, benq, Hitachi, samsung, etc.

< Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The internet is a privilege not a right >

My disk reads somewhat decently. I've had a few freezes, but here comes the most frustrating part... I am on "The Pillar of Autumn" and my Xbox keeps freezing up. I've got the game installed on my harddrive. I'm running one of the earlier Premium edition consoles (white, silver tray) and haven't had issues with other games (that I couldn't solve).

The game doesn't seem to freeze in the same spot on the level, but I can't make it to the first save point. When it freezes, I am able to eject the game manually (button on the console) and the dashboard loads. However, with the game frozen, I am unable to use the software/controller to exit to dashboard.

No clue why it's doing this. It only did this for one other level, but after starting again it didn't freeze.

This happens in both single player and coop gameplay. I've tried changing difficulty in hopes of perhaps lowering the strain on the Xbox, but have had no success.

Disc is clean, laser is clean (as far as I know, used a store bought laser cleaner disc.

Any suggestions (aside from the expected "Get a new Xbox" or "Something something noob something something").

I'd have started a new thread, but I think this falls in line with the discussion and just made this account so I can't start a new thread...

In any case, I'm pretty irate about the whole thing. No impressed at all.

as soon as i eat lunch i'm goin down to the post office and sending my console away... it could have been worse i spose.. it could have been when black ops was coming out

  • 09.14.2010 7:56 PM PDT

sorry but stuff you bungie and microsoft

  • 09.14.2010 8:00 PM PDT

Did u test other discs?

  • 09.14.2010 8:02 PM PDT

This is ridiculous. How can you launch a game that does not play on the console. I have a white xbox 360 with gray tray, but it is one that was sent to me when I sent in my original xbox 360 to be repaired. They sent me a new white one with a gray tray. All other games work. BUNGIE - you guys are idiots. Microsoft - worthless. I'm buying a PS3. No more halos after this anyway.
