Halo 3 disc read error

I am with the same problem here. I bought my Xbox Eltite and Halo 3 today, both are brand new.

Only Halo 3 beeteween 6 other games I bought today is showing theese random reading errors.

I got Halo 3 Collectors Edition on launch day. I never had any problems with the disc until just recently. Everytime I play for about 5-10 minutes, the disc is unreadable. Last night my frind brought Halo 3 over to play, and the same thing happened with his disc. His disc works fine at his house. This also doesn't make since to me because all of my games work fine except for Halo. Should I trade the disc in and get a new one, or call up Microsoft and see what's going on? Thanks.zobo93

the exact thing happened to me. although i havent tried another halo yet and mine doesnt work at all anymore. also when ever i put it in the xbox makes a starange pulsing noise

This is driving me insane!!! This morning, I played for about two hours without any problem. Tonight, it was giving read error even during the initial loading...

It´s very frustraiting!

Both my system and my halo 3 disc are brand new. I believe it´s a software related issue. It can´t be anything else, because every other game runs just fine.

send in your xbox. i did that and now the problem isa fixed! haha. phoneing 1-800-4MY-XBOX is the best number to phone. they will tell you everything you need to know :DRoxas12934

I telephoned to the Microsoft´s technical assistance today and the attendant told me that it was an issue involving a bug between reading data from the HDD and copying it from the game dvd. He told to me to try play the game without the HDD.

To my surprise, it worked. I played almost all day without any error, but I can´t save... Crap! I will buy one of these Memory Cards. I live outside USA and it´s cheaper to use a palliative solution than send my entire system to MS.

Ok not to be mean to you man but your a moron for just saying o ok. The whole purpose of you know buying a system with a HDD is to use the HDD on "ALL" games not 90% of them call them back and get them to fix this problem dont spend anymore money on a memory card thats just plain idoitic if you do.

I live at Brazil, bought my 360 at Spain and My Halo3 copy at UK... I believe it will be very complicate to call them back and get them to fix this problem.

I will try to call brazilian MS support, but I don´t know if they will honor my guarantee (besides the fact that my system is brand new). I´m a lawyer and I´m already thinking about sue MS if they don´t.

Your dvd drive is going . This happened to my 2nd 360 . I could play all my games except Viva Pinata. Sometimes i could play Viva for a couple hours , other times disc read error right away . The 360 gradually started to do this with the rest of the games until it took an hour just to get a game to load without an error . I'd just send the 360 in before it totally goes , and happens at a time where you really want to play something .

So, my system is not even a week old and is already with a faulty drive? I´m really starting to regret buying this...
