I get this error on my Xbox from time to time, but it's always been due to the actual game, not the Xbox. The first time it happened was over a year ago - still no RROD (knocking on wood).

For a 2 day period.  Extrapolate it to 30 days and 30 out of 30 xbox 360s will have failed which is a 100% failure rate for a single month!

Sure, that's silly.  As silly as your statement. Why be an apologist for the lowest quality hardware ever released into the home console market and one of the lowest quality pieces of electronics ever?

PS3 sales increase 10% due to Blu-ray victory

360 sales drop 20% over GDC console failures.

The disc is unreadable error doesn't necessarily mean the console was exhibiting a failure. The disc might actually be bad.

I've had this problem with my Oblivion disc on occasion, but my other 19 360 games don't seem to have the issue. I wonder what might cause one disc (that isn't scratched by the way) to sometimes fail, but the others seem fine. Weird.



PooperScooper on 20 February 2008

Yes because these developers dont know how to take care of their discs. They also didn't catch it when they first put the disc in and just left it saying that. Im sure. More like the DVD drive scratched the disc to hell.
