a freind of mine is having alot of problem with his 2nd copy of halo 3. ( he took the first one back and found out thenew one did the same thing ) he gets "Cannnot Read Disk" when trying to load maps. what could be the problem here? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BUDCHOOFER To put it short the people on this thread have been having disk read errors playing Halo 3 with clean and working disks Things they have tried . 1. Ruled out dirty and unreadable disks - people including myself have tried a number of Halo 3 disks and had the problem with all of them .Others have tried ther "unreadable"disks on other 360's and they worked fine. (works on my new system) 2.Dumped memory and tested hard drives -People have tried clearing ther cache also a format for some has worked and for others it didnt help at all .Some people found removing/replacing HDD helped also for others it didnt help its still all worth a shot . 3.We have tried other games to test dvd drives -Most people have no problem playing anything else while ther are a few that cant play them anymore (since the problem with halo 3 )and that number seems to be rising . FACTS Its happend with every version of the game (standard limited and legendary editions) as well as all versions of xbox 360 "one person even commented that they had only owned ther xbox 360 elite 4 weeks" . The problem is on more then one forum and has been on more then one web article "news sites" We have had one response from a moderator who warned us about bumping and confirmed we wont get any help from bungie or microsoft through posting on this thread (this is a community forum not tech support).
