Subject: My Xbox is -blam!- help!

So yeah, I've just gone from Halo 3 to Red Dead Redemption. But I've put the disc in and the game loads, and then it comes up and stays on the Xbox 360 logo. My Xbox hasn't frozen because I'm able to pull up the menu. And when I pull up my menu, the Xbox is reading Red Dead as a DVD!!!

Guys what the hell do I do now? Nothing is happening! Is it broke?

Buy a new one, the disc reading thing is probably broken.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Means you done -blam!- up your RDR.

Should I actually give it a clean? It is collecting dust, that might be the problem.

I am not joking with you, put toothpaste on the disk, wait ten minutes before you wash it away, then put it back in.

Nobody's going to give you a straight answer on your thread because of responses like these. Just a heads up.

OT: You're screwed. Time for a new console.
