Ive not said anything about the frustration that xbl has been lately. I understand there are issues that sometimes arise with these types of services. Well today I was playing AC and about to assasinate my 5th victim when the game paused and I get a can not read disc error. I take the game out, clean it off with the proper type cloth and put it back in. NOTHING. Unplayable disc. I look at the disc, not a scratch or anything. Its brand new, gotten for Christmas. So I put in COD4. Same freaking thing. Halo 3. (which I played last night) same damn thing. All my games are coming up unplayable. This is a brand new 360 that wasnt even opened until Christmas eve. It was bought about 1 week before that. I seriously am po'ed right now. Anyone else get this problem, and know a fix? Will a cd lens cleaner work? Although after only 5 days there shouldnt be dust in the 360, I mean Im not that kid who had 10 pounds of dust on his ps3.

I had the same problem there is no way to fix it unless you want to void your warranty but if you got warranty from the store then use it.

problem is finding an elite. I can find arcade, pros, and Halo editions everywhere, but the elites are hard to find.

I 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.

Actually 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 bought this one on December 16th and gave it to my kids on Christmas Eve. I have called 9 different stores in my area, all have the arcades, premiums or arcades, but no elites.

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.

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!

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.

It's either a DVD-drive problem or a HDD problem. If taking your HDD proves to make your system work, DO NOT use it again. You'll end up corrupting internal memory inside your console. (Disc read errors apply to the HDD too).

Either way, once you know, phone Microsoft and get an appropriate replacement if you can't get an exchange at your retailer.

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 solved

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

What gets me is that because my previous 360(s) broke, I can't play my arcade games or access DLC while XBL is down so I get screwed out of what I purchased because MS doesn't get the concept of "fair use" or "ownership".

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.

Lol, true. I dont understand the point of the Halo edition. Why pay $50 more for the sku? It offers the same as the pro. Unless your a halo fanboy.

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.

Yes it does. Some 360's Disc Drives scratch the discs when they are laid Horizontally

But the Power Brick thing... No freakin clue...

problem is finding an elite. I can find arcade, pros, and Halo editions everywhere, but the elites are hard to find.

i got mine at the release date
