Re: 360 problem

check that the disc isnt cracked in the centre

The scrathing of disks was a big problem when they first came out wasn't it?

Not sure!

I have already taken one back, got another one with a different copy of gears of war and the same thing is happening...'error unreadable disk, rub with clean cloth' or some shit like that...

my mates havent had problems with their copies of gears of war

is it the 360 or the fucking disk??? starting to piss me off like

theyve been out for ages, the 260, might just be a bad batch of disks, unless theres too much tension on the disc from the stabilizer

If you mov the console from flat to upright or vice versa with a disk in, it ruins the disks completely apparently- has been known to nearly snap some in half when the console first came out. If not, then you've got a faulty drive and need to replace the console

Got to send mine back to microsoft :evil:

Got through to a call centre and she is adamant that the only way the disc could be scratching is if i am moving the console while playing games WTF.

Why would i be moving the console while playing a fucking game FFS

There going to repair it, but its gonna be 15 working days before i get it back

And its tough shit about the 3 games thats been ruined by scratches

Its my fault for moving the console while playing games

im sending my box off for repair for the second bloody time now, shames it's taken them 5 weeks to email the shipping label to me...

looks like MS have made a hash of this release

Sony will do the same with the ps3. Nintendo wii is the future

so much hate for sony and playstation on here... it's not even been released yet!

Don't want to fuel the PS3v360 debate but aren't there a few problems arising with the 360.

THere were a lot of problems with 360 initially but they all seemed to get sorted in the first few months of release. the one with the console scratchingcracking games was meant to be fixed after the first batch. I've had mine since february and I've had no bother at all with it. did the roiginal xbox not have a similar issue as well when it first launched in japan?

all products, whether it's software, cars, toasters, plasma tellies all have initial release problems - no matter how much beta testing you do - things slip thru the net - after all they're made by humans which are inherantly flawed

I love plasystation but past experience suggests they'll hash up the release. I'll be getting a ps3 aswell as my 360
