I finally got my xbox 360 back, and picked up my new 42" LCD today. To celebrate I loaded up gears of ware in 1080i. BAM! disk unreadable! f***ing microsoft didn't fix my xbox!

lol badluck

hey guys, don't lend games to people at work. The disc is now actually scratched. Gave it a good clean and started a fresh game ... so far so good.

pictures of my new TV - LG 42" LCD, thanks to the kids at Computer Alliance ... they also gave me two cartons of beer and two bottles of wine... Although Will did tell me I had to share them ... YEAH RIGHT! :)

Oh is running GOW at 1080i

just out of curiosity, out of the people here who have had their xbox die. How many had them standing vertical as opposed to horizontal?

Mine is standing vertically because microsoft told me that was best. It was horizontal when it broke.

I've had mine horizontal all this time, no issues....yet

mine sits horizontal always has, ive had a number of issues, but ive flashed it now and its all good, and ive obtain enough games to have paid off my xbox if it does every break again

lawl, drunk on the interweb.

That is a f***ing sweet screen. God bless CA and their bringing of beer.

I have screen envy :(

mine is diagonal

horizontal, no dramas

Is that so you cant tip it by accident jim? :P

get drunk and go xbox tipping lulz

is your xbox hosting those f***ing slow images

motherf***ing piece of s***. I went out and bought Raibow 6 - Vegas today and it gives me the exact same disc unreadable errors. After a few reboots I start getting graphics glitches in the dashboard, and now It won't even display a picture.

Call Microsoft and all they can do is 'send it back and we'll repair it'. Another 4 weeks without an xbox. Not to mention the support rep outright lied to me, said there was no way to check what was 'fixed' last time, and then later said 'i'll watch your repair updates and make sure it's repaired this time' kinda suggests to me that the f***er knew it wasn't fixed.

Can't get a retailler to advance replace it, can't mail out an advance replacement, can't do s*** for me. great f***ing customer service mr microsoft!

Mines Horizontal no probs so far, but wasn't there a link to a pretty big thread about people getting this same problem and it supposedly being related to the actual drive wearing on the disc scrathing them or some thing like that. Stinky is your particular xbox360 'loud' at or like does it make a racket when accessing the disc ect? Quite a few people with Gears of War get the ' this disc is unreadable' error every now and then but your issues sounds horrendous. I feel for you buddy, I reckon you should just spit chips, tell MS that this is the second time you have had to return it, its f***en Christmas FFS and to send you a brand spanking new one asap.

had zero prob with my 360. I guess you only ever get to read the bad things about them cause noone posts the good

Stinnky, i'll give you $70, cash, all in 20's and 10's, for your x360, plus gears of war.

I'll give you 24 hours to accept my offer otherwise no deal.

Stinky, maybe you could try and borrow one from somewhere that has a few of them?

That really sucks dude, brand new TV and everything :(

yeah sucks big time ... I asked the dude if I could put the kids on the phone so he could explain to them why they cant play the xbox this xmas.

I asked if they could send an advance replacement, or authorise a retailer to swap a new one, or even promise me a refund and Id go out and buy a new one ... he just kept repeating that all I could do is send it back. Im gonna call back after xmas and demand a brand new one is shipped as soon as they get mine back.

At work they send an advance replacement box within a few days of lodging a fault ( dev kits that is ). Wish I could get the same for my retail box :(

i got myself gears of war today...

just gotta wait till tommorrow to get the xbox

lol, and then the next day ship that xbox to microsoft after gears of war destroys it!!

lol i just started playing gears of war and it requires a 60 hz tv hahahah im f***ed... oh well ill just be an lcd monitor soon
