360 just kept constantly freezing. Before it froze each time though, it would make a wierd noise in the disc-tray and the fan just turned off with the game still working. After a minute or so after that it just froze. I sent it out twice for the same problem. Still waiting to get it back right now.

Mine was very odd. Everything worked fine, but it just wouldn't read any disks I put in. It started up fine and when it happened I was playing before I went to bed, went to sleep, and woke up and it wouldn't read any disks.

Well not totally broken but very annoying. My second USB port is loose so the second controller won't stay connected unless I "jimmy" the cable in a certain way. Very annoying!! Only found this out when I bought a second guitar. And I know there is another USB port in the back of the unit but still, there should be no reason for this port to already be broken on the second time I use it.

I had the first die with one red light in the 4th quadrant. The second had the disk drive die, it stopped reading games and said they were not 360 games. And my 3rd died of the RROD finally.

From what I have heard, if your console is over a year old and you get an error OTHER than the RRoD your best bet is to wrap it in towels and let it burn itself up until you get it. Otherwise, say you get a problem with the disk drive and replace it yourself... then a few months later get RRoD? M$ will tell you your console has been tampered with because it's been disassembled and won't honor the warranty.

i bet everyone that is having these "Disk read errors" did what i made the mistake of doing.....

first i wouldnt recommend this on a system that isnt coming up on the end of the 3yr RROD warranty, if you burn your lens and get disc read errors, i would force a RROD with the towel trick and send the system back to M$. (my system was a launch console and hasnt given the RROD yet. and i did this because it was cheaper than sending it to M$ and my warranty for RROD would be up this year.

when i first got my 360 i figured it was like the ps2 and original xbox. i moved it from vertical to horizontal while the disc was spinning, i totally destroyed my oblivion disc with a perfect circular scratch from the cd laser lens. it apparently scorched, scratched the lens.

it played fine mostly for a couple months, then i started getting "to play this disc, put it into an xbox 360 console" white screen in 20 different languages.

i figured i could go back on the warranty, but by the time i got around to it i was a month late on the factory warranty. so i held off and figured i could suffer with the occasional white screen. about a year goes by and it got worse. and microsoft changes the warranty to 3 years....i tried to send it back but the new 3 year warranty only covers RROD, so they were going to charge me 150 to fix my box. i decided to fix it myself, so i bought a new dvd drive (bought wrong kind i had in my system, but me and bud disected the laser out of the drive and replaced my old laser with it.) my system now works perfectly with a new transparent blue case with new fan all decked out in blue LEDS.

one of my buds did the same thing...tripped over the wires going to the tv from the 360, knocked the 360 over, scratched (destroyed his GOW disc) and now hes getting the disc read errors.

fixed my 360 for 60 dollars (instead of 150 M$ was goin to charge)

I turned on my 360 last night and on the boot up at the logo it just keeps freezing and then it eventually turns blue and goes wonky and eventually I get a solid red light in the 4 quadrant and a dim red light in the 3 and 1 quadrant, I don't think this is the "RROD" But it is something and I am having a box sent out to me right now.

BTW if you haven't got RROD and your console is over a year old I would recommend you try to rap it in a bag or something to intentionally get RROD so you can send it in now before GTA4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 come out, plus the warranty ends in August, and I dont know if they will renew it or not.
