Subject: Disc Not Reading

Add me to this list aswell, first 2 days i installed it to the harddrive no problems finished campaign on normal all is well.
Then the third day i was noticing that i t started to read from the disc while loading.
No biggy until my sound started to dissapear randomly and i got my first DRE.
Then i got a DRE after each game (gaining no points because it kept doing it just after the game.)
Also no credit for completing some legendary campaign missions wich annoys me even more.
Uninstalled it from the HD and it works okish again had a couple more DRE's but not as frequent.

Call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX. Posting on our forums helps bring it to our attention, and we are in contact with MS, but if you don't call it in they have no way of determining the scope of the problem and it will ultimately take them longer to determine a solution.


Not your problem, eh? That's sad :(

Reach rocks. Period.

wow this is weak. so those of us who have an original xbox are getting it in the poop shoot on this one? so much for loyalty. please fix this.

I've noticed something weird and was wondering if anyone else has. Check your memory for a save game file for Halo:Reach. Because there is no file on my HD.

That is until I DL'd a vid to file share. Then had Halo:Reach save file with that vid but nothing else. WTH!?! WHERE IS IT SAVING DATA?

Yes my Xbox is freezing during the campaign mode, It froze for about 5 seconds, and then came back, and continued to play. So far it has happened 5 times. The biggest incident was during 1/16 on the return to the base with Kat, with the battle of the three C.Corvett & a ghost. My Xbox is a Falcon chipset, with a 120GB hard drive with 70GB free. it is connected via HDMI and duing 720P. The Box is on top of the entertainment center with open air. The exaust from the system is 101 Deg F. The game is installed to the HD.

So its not just the launch consoles, as my falcon box is Freezing up.

Just played Reach on my friends Xbox, and was able to do more in one night than I've been able to do since Tuesday. Bungie, something, anything please!

  • 09.18.2010 7:22 AM PDT

And about the whole "very small number of players" thing, either not enough people have been at least calling, or microsoft is using the red ring of death technique in describing the problem. A patch microsoft, not sending in the console, not pointless troubleshooting, a patch, please

  • 09.18.2010 7:30 AM PDT

Everyone should just start posting at the end of their post

"WE WANT A FIRMWARE PATCH ON LIVE TO PLAY REACH!!!"

Hopefully that way bungie or someone will see the many complaints of ppl wanting a patch instead of waiting 3 weeks to send in your xbox only for 1 game.....

  • 09.18.2010 7:37 AM PDT

Those posting on this thread should also leave a post on xbox.com. There are a couple of forums but not many posts.

I called 18004mycrapbox and was greeted with "If you're calling regarding Halo:Reach please see support at xbox.com" yeah that did alot of good!

Like many others I don't want to send in my xbox to MS for some patch they could put on XBL! Not for ONE GAME!!

Hoping something happy happens soon. :(

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

I'm getting really pissed. I've been talking to microsoft for over an hour now, and the best solution they can give me is to send my 360 in. I asked them about a patch, and they said there is none available...No -blam!- retards. Make one.

I've had my 360 for three years and I've dropped it twice, and it's been fine. I don't know y people complain about their xbox's breaking, it doesn't happen that often.

I warn you guys, posting in the Technical Issues forum on xbox.com is both slow and irritating (you have to be absolutely and perfectly civil, gross!), but I've got a topic over there with many of the details of our issue, so if you'd like to make your own topic or post on mine, please do try it. If in fact they are withholding a patch due to publicity, getting the issue on their official forums may do us some good. And at least this way, any responses we get can be easily linked to...

http://forums.xbox.com/34284502/ShowPost.aspx <--There, sorry for the small font.. the rich text editor over there is EXTREMELY misleading. If you can't read it, paste it in a notepad or something.

Already posted on your topic and the other short thread. Hopefully this issue becomes more public forcing someone to do something. sounds to me like this could amount to a massive recall of certain consoles if it's a hardware issue. A patch would be so much easier.

This is so stupid. I played fine for the first 3 days and now every other game it says my Disc is unreadable.

Is this a problem with the disc or the console? If brought my disc back to the store and they gave me a new one (somehow), would it be possible that the problem would be fixed? Or is it just the console?

Sorry to hear that. But welcome to our not so exclusive club.

I need to go change my Halo emblem to an unhappy face. :(

if u are having problems with single player only, try playing while NOT logged into xbox live. game finally loads up for me after start of game. single player while logged into live doesnt work yet multiplayer works flawlessly? does mean i cant play co-op campaign either tho. teamslayer and firefight works fine, havent tried any other mp styles but it would appear single player while logged into live just doesnt want to let me play.

I've tried this and campaign still doesn't work for me. However, multiplayer seems to work fine. I sometimes play about 10 games and I will get a unreadable disk message, but it usually works.

Ugh...this is so aggravating...

I'm expecting a patch for this bull-blam!-.

Just to note: it is not a heat problem: I worked hard to keep my Xbox in open air so it does not over-heat.

Yes I play with a pink and black controller... Bret the Hitman had black and pink tights... so what? It helps to um.. see it in the dark......
