Ok, I've had my xobx for about 2 in a half months now and never had no problems about a week or so ago though when I'd put G.R.A.W in itd go to a screen saying "To play this disc, put it in an Xbox 360 console" heres a pic of the screen

Now normally I could just try again a few times and then G.R.A.W would work. Today I go to play Tomb Raider which Ive never had problems with and I get the same screen, I try waiting then trying again and again etc and still same thing. I then tried Oblivion and same screen and never had problems with that game before either. I've heard of it being a problem with corrupted gamesaves but I've deleted everything and even taken the whole harddrive off. Anyone please help me! Thank you.

Sounds like a DVD drive issue to me.

call 18004myxbox and send it back

i had that same erroe when i first got my 360 back when it lauched. I mailed it back to MS and everything was good, got a brand new 360, never had another issue (knock on wood). It would happen after i started using those D-skins to protect the media. Once i got the new system, i stopped using them, this way i wouldn't fuck it up

hmm alright so I guess just call em tell em my problem and they should send me a box to ship my pos xbox 360 back and then sometime later I should get a new one or whatever?

DVD drive isnt functioning properly, send it back for a new one

Yeah. It's where it isn't reading the media correctly and assuming that it is a Video DVD and therefore playing what you would see if you put the disc in a DVD player.

Yup. That's what you do... they even pay for shipping .
Just give them a call, make sure they know it's doingit with more than one disc. It's still within 90 days, even if it wasn't they still might replace it.
They've been pretty understanding and "nice" with all this stuff.

I had this problem once, just rebooted and it worked. But if that doesnt work send it back. you shouldnt have to deal with that kind of stuff

Ive had this problem before, but only game it does it for is The Outfit, it takes about 4 trys before outfit works

yea it does it with all of my games now. The only way I got it to work is to try it about litterally 15 times and then it might work, and then if i do get it to work when Im playing the game it'll say "Please clean the disc check if it has any smudges or scratches" or something like that. This game has absolutley zero smudges or scratches of any kind so yeah I guess its the dvd drive. Looks like Ill be giving them a call.

I have recently started to get the same DVD message too, but after a reboot is fine. If I decide to send it to MS do i have to send my hdd as well?

yeah I just called em and their sending off a box and I asked the dude if I should send off the hard drive too and he said yes. How unfortuante now that Ill have to start my obvion character all over.

I would call them back and say something to them about it... they might be able to work something out for you.
They ARE there to serve you: the consumer.

Ditto.

I put one of my 360 games (it was PGR 3) into my PC's DVD drive & I can tell you that there is a stanard DVD-Video on the 360 games, if played in a system which isn't a 360 or a 360 with a problem, the disk will load up the video which says:


To Play This Disc, Put It In An Xbox 360 (in English & other foreign languages)

when i had this problem with my 360, they didn't have me send the in the HD.
I called the 1st time and they said i had to and then i called back and they said keep the Hd, and so i did (i was told to keep it after the fact that i bought a memory unit. See if u can maybe borrow a MU off someone.
I would be willing to let u borrow it if u would agree to work out some type of paypal deposit that would be refunded once the MU was returned (in working order that is) PM me if u are interested.

is it as cool as the original xbox games?

before i startd modding, i had a dvd playback kit in

well me and my friend had been smoking the ganja and when i put in halo it read it as a DVD and WE FREAKED OUT

we thought we had unlocked some secret menu, so funny

I think this error message has something new to do with the new dashboard update, because my 360 was working perfectly until I updated it. All of a sudden, I'm getting the same error message on occasion. A simple reboot resolves the problem but it's still an inconvenience.

I have the same problem with my hitachi.
Although, using Fujifilm and Memorex from best buy
both worked for Oblivion, Niether worked for COD2
I get the same white screen , This disc must be put in a 360

if you have your console horizontally try moving it so its vertical, mine hates being on its side lol - gives me that message whenever i use it on its side! fussy thing... just make sure you turn it off before you move it! hope it helps some of you its a pain i know that much never mind since i always use it vertically now i have no problems
