same problem with mine but i had it for about 3 months before it did it. gotta send it to MS.linkinSOXechoI called 1-800-4MYXBOX and they told me to return it to the retailer and exchange it. Only problem is Elites are hard to find. WTF.. I knew the RROD problem (I went through 2 xbox 360's in the first two months of launch and didnt buy another one until recently), but after some googling it seems this problem is just as rampant. Im really mad. Today was my day off and I was hoping to finish AC today. I just "finished the fight" last night and was getting ready to start enjoying COD4 and now this.
Yep, Every single person I know is on there 2nd 360 at least, some are on their 4th-5th 360. Just exchange it when you can. The 360's are easily the worst made system to date.SpinbrettActually not true...this kind of things happen when the cargo gets severely damaged in time of transportation, the only reason why 360s get busted so easily is because of electric problems, but this was just a minor transportation damage, the solution is very simple, go to the place were you bought it, and If they dont have an Elite, tell them to call other shops around that may have one, or rain check, you have the right to for such privileges, the customer is always right, if not, there's always the three year warranty. But...it is your choice.

I have had mine one year.
What he said!
Hope you get it fixed soon. :)
Are you connected to Live? If you are disconnect from the internet and play your games offline. Because they are having problems with Live sometimes your XBOX cannot function. Try disconnecting and you should be okay.

I guess you dont know too many people. I only know one person out of 15-20 friends of mine that have 360's that had to replace his.

It's obvious that there is a problem with 360s though. You have to remember that there are people outside your circle of friends. If there wasn't a problem, MS would never had extended their warantee.
I've known enough people who had something happen to their 360 to cause me to get the instore extended warantee
Pretty much exact same thing has happened to me (I'm on my second one).
Called MS and they told me to try detaching and reattaching the HDD. It worked at first and still does but I have to do it all of the time. The DVD drive is the cuplrit but I am not sure why removing the HDD for a second works. They said if it persisted they would fix it under warranty.
Going to finish ME and then send it back. I here ya bro' it gets really annoying. Just remember to save OFTEN!
Happened cuz you're a Michigan fan
Go Bucks!

Apparently Buckeyes arent educated. :) If you looked at my avatar, Im from WVU. the entire picture for some reason is not showing, but it should look like this.
So any way, I returned the elite, got a pro and an extra controller.

Thats not true at all
Don't worry too much about it. It's a Disc Drive problem (I had it about 3 months ago). Just return it to the store where you bought it and your problem will be solvedchoffy31
I did, and got a pro bundle. I can't find the elites anywhere. My pro has a production date of 11-23-07 so I think Im good as far as the RROD goes. *crosses fingers*.
I really wanted an elite though as I like the black and the bigger hard drive.

Must not be looking very hard. If I wanted another Elite, I could walk into a store anywhere around my house and get one
Sams Club I know has them, if you live near one

Not around here at all. I called/went to 3 gamestops, 2 wal marts, 2 circuit city's, 2 toys r us, target, best buy, Sams, Sears. None have elites and some say they havent gotten Elites in 2 months or more.
SOLUTION:
DO NOT POSITION THE 360 VERTICALLY, PUT IT ON SOMETHING ELEVEATED,HORIZONTALLY (THE 360 BOX WORKS) AND ALSO TAKE YOUR POWER-BRICK AND ALSO PUT IT ELEVATED FROM THE GROUND.

What in the world does that have to do with the disc drive not reading? Absolutely nothing.

Yes it does. Some 360's Disc Drives scratch the discs when they are laid Horizontally
But the Power Brick thing... No freakin clue...
