Oh my god. I try to play Halo 3, Gears of War and Over G Fighters, and I get a combination of the following:

A random, all white screen with text telling me "please insert this disc into an Xbox 360 console"

A disc read error

An error booting me from the game and sending me back to the dashboard telling me that my text and voice communications have been disabled (yet they haven't).

And simply being booted from the game back to the dashboard for no apparent reason with no error message or explanation.

I love the 360 and I love it's games, but this is just frustrating, random and stupid as hell. If the system wants to crap out, give me 3 red rings and crap out already. Jesus Christ this is ridiculous.

You don't need the 3 red rings to send it to repairs. I've just send in my console for the fourth time (yep, I'm real lucky apparently) and twice because of disc-read errors. EVERY 360 is FULLY covered for EVERYTHING that happens with it. Not just the 3 red lights. Don't take Peter Moores words literally. Just call MS and ask them.

you'll need an old technician and a young technician. they will need a C++ GUI programming guide, holy anti-static wrist bands, andmagic air duster cans. sounds weird. i would say fix it yourself but that would void the warranty. Looks like you better charge your phone handset andgive 1-800-4-MY-XBOX a ring.

i guess im lucky. i have had like no problems with my 360 except everyonceinawhile when i played fable on it or if i played oblivion too long it would get a disk read error or freeze up but it wasnt often. so maybe you jsut got a crappy one. but i got a good one.woo.
