Yes and no

Im pleased with the game, although I was expecting more "extra" stuff to do.

Though so

My xbox was made in 2006 so I doubt it has all the new gadgets to fix it so maybe its a good thing to buy a new one anyway.

If im correct, if your warranty is dead I believe you can call xbox and send your xbox in with $140 check or cash and they will fix it or replace it.

If not, there is no harm in trying to fix it yourself, but make sure its your last resort.

Since its preowned I doubt warranty will cover it.

Give it a few days and if it doesn't go back you may have to buy a new xbox.

Or if your warranty is dead and you don't have the money for a brand new one, you can be like me and crack it open and try and fix it. Look online, there plenty of things about fix it yourself mods and stuff. Since its overheating I would try the x-clamp repair mod, search it up and give it a shot if you please. Might wanna throw a new fan in it too.

Double check to see if a warranty is still present for the 360, opening your 360 will void an existing warranty, beware.

If your warranty is still good then call xbox and they will send you a box to place your xbox in and send it to them. You should receive a refurbished xbox or a brand new one, depends on the damage and if its repairable.

Every time I play GTA4 I get the Disc unreadable, clean it with a cloth message after 10 - 15 minutes of play. I looked at the disc, there isnt a scratch on it. Is this a currupt disc or is my drive about to go? When I listen it sounds as if the disc stops spinning a few seconds before I get the error. I have been playing for about 3 weeks and it just started monday. Started with once the whole day then I couldn't play it at all.

The reason im asking if its a hardware issue is I had a previous problem with NHL08 awhile back but then my friend cleaned it with a disc cleaner for games and it worked good as new. Planning on trying that tomorrow.

I repair xbox's (RROD) and mod them for friends and I have a large knowledge on the famous "X-clamp" mod, just nothing about the disc drive. Although my suspects is if its a hardware issue the laser might be dieing. Also I was told it might not be the drive but a sign of the RROD ready to come, if so im ready for it with the x-clamp mod. Could this be a sign of RROD?

So does this sound like a hardware or software issue?

Sign of RROD?

Causes?
