So my xbox 360 red ringed and I sent it to microsoft. They immediately sent me another 360, but every time I put in a game disc the dashboard recognizes it as a dvd. I can eventually get the console to recognize the game after restarting the 360 3-5 times, but it's a real pain. I also noticed that my games play slower now and lag out more often. When I was playing Red Dead, the draw distance was significantly reduced to the point where you could see it filling in textures just a short distance away, and the menus took 5-10 seconds longer to load. I wanted to send the 360 back to microsoft, but I couldn't find this error anywhere on their website and I'm not sure if they'll fix it for free. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas? Do you think MS will fix this crappy console? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
its the disc tray/drive. nothing you can really do unless you send it to microsoft. mine had the same problem right before the disc drive stoped working alltogether.
as for your games, you can try to install red dead and see if works better after that (Which it should)
Thank you! I'll pack it up and send it back to MS. I guess I shouldn't really be suprised that the refurbished console they sent me didn't work--just frustrated that I love my 360 enough to put up with it.
