Forums - Microsoft Discussion - My 360 started acting up earlier today...

I just got home for the Holidays and I brought my 360 with me, and I popped in Gears 2 to play co-op with my little brother. After about 3 minutes of playing, my 360 stopped the game and said the disk was unreadable. I'm playing the game from my harddrive to begin with (I downloaded it) so it's not even running from the disk. I take the disk out, it looks perfectly fine, so I put it back in and try to play again. About 5 minutes later the same thing happens, and this goes on for about 4 more tries. I took a half hour break, went back to playing Gears, and everything worked fine.

 

Well, besides this one time. After beating the last part of the first act, about 15 seconds into the movie cutscene, the cutscene stops and I get a game over screen, and the game promptly puts me back at the last checkpoint. Rofl????

 

Anyway, no problems from there on for the next 6 hours, but I'm still a bit weary over what happened. Am I doomed?

delete and re install. if you still have problems...try playing from the disk.

i think thats unnecessary.  its not like he is sitting here whining about how he has rrod.  a thread, like the one you suggest, would be full of people like that...meaning most people would avoid it(including myself) and then i wouldnt be able to give helpful advice to the ones with actual solveable problems.

 what advice would he be able to give? Don't use it improperly? Be nice to it? Treat it well? imo this is an unnecessary thread...but thats just me...
