Looking at this which someone posted earlier.
To save you time..
We can report that the owners of the new slimmer 4GB Xbox's will have trouble playing certain parts of Halo: Reach. There are also reports of Halo: Reach disc problems.
Sam Jordan of Nukezilla is reporting that when you try and join a co-op campaign mission users are met with an error message. The message reads 'One or more players do not have the hard drive for this game type', 'An Xbox 360 Hard Drive is required to play co-op on Xbox LIVE or system link.'
This means owners of the 4GB Xbox slim will miss out on a huge chunk of the game. The problem is also affecting earlier editions of the game, and to get round it you will have to purchase a 250GB hard drive for $129.99. UK owners will have to wait until the end of this month before being able to buy the £80 hard drive.
In a Statement Microsoft said "We are aware of the issue and are quickly working to resolve it." No time scale has been given to when a solution will be available.
We also have a report of a bad batch of Halo: Reach discs. A gamer has written on a forum that when he visited his local GameStop a load of people were exchanging their copies of the game. Apparently there was a lot of bad copies released which the Xbox won't read, or it says eject tray.
So with that, some people have problems with their xbox's, others with the CD, and unlucky few with both.
Combined with what I thought of yesterday which I just remembered (gather as much info as we can which includes what version your xbox is [arcade, pro, elte, etc], when it was bought, what dashboard version you have [I didn't even know this but someone told me a month ago, may or may not help] which also brings forward, any xbox updates that where installed, and any other info that I'm not aware of) we could narrow it down the problem and give it to Microsoft and make it easier for them, and making them find the solution faster so we can play it.
Whether it be the disc, Xbox or software at fault.
I don't even know if my xbox plays reach as I get my copy on Sunday so yeah, may or may not benefit me but it will help you guysWell thats a step toward a solution. I don't have that particular model of Xbox, so thats not something I should be worrying about. Here's hoping I didn't get a disc from the bad batch.
But a batch is what, a thousand discs? Then again, if this was a much bigger problem, this forum would be exploding.
