I hear one out of every four games has a disc read error. Return it and demand a refund.

CursedSeishi 2007-09-30 18:27:39

wow that does suck. I dont have an xbox 360, so obviously i didnt get the game. But, my friend went monday night at almost 12 to pick up his reserved copy, and he hasn't had any problems like that. o.o;

Poor Bungie, they just cant get a break on their halo sequels, two had a shitty ending, and now 3 has cursed disks lol.

I know exactly what the problem is.what basically is going on is that u might leave ur xbox on alot and it "melts" some important parts away a little.this game and bioshock are having alot of problembeacasue there big games.Solution?send ur xbox in for repair, i didnt want too but it made it work again.If u really dont wanna do this you'll have to formaat your menmory and run the inital set up and it might work.im not 100% on if that will work,becasue i had alot of oblivoion and madden saves on and i didnt want to erase that stuff. but i am sure if u send it in to the xbox team it will work. i had the EXACT same problem,i sent it in and it worked like it never even had a problem.if u want to make sure its uxbox's problem,(take your hardrive out, the little thing on the side),and switch it out with someone elses' xbox.

My xbox showed the 3 rings he day after i bought halo 3, so now i have to wait until late late october to get my xbox repaired and back

balto-boy 2007-09-30 18:46:00

If you get a red ring, try unplugging the Xbox and taking out the harddrive. I used to get the ring quite a lot of times. After I unplugged everything, then it started working again.
And in case it matters, I do have one of those coolers that you can plug into the back of the Xbox, so that might help too.

PlatinumX9 2007-09-30 18:48:33

yeah when i bought mine, the disc was alredy scratched. luckily it still works.

Dazmi 2007-09-30 19:03:45

One on every 4 discs has an error.
Return it, get a refund, and get another disc.

Ether that or you got a shitty 360

FluxCapacitorClock 2007-09-30 19:08:27

The forge is the only fun aspect of the game anyway.

The rest of multiplayer is the same old stuff, and single player is absolute shit. It's difficult to get into the story, Cortana appears in flashback form to interrupt you and say something emo every 5 minutes, and there aren't any cutscenes until the really long ass ones in the second half of the game.

robattle 2007-09-30 19:46:09

I heard this on the news, they're saying that halo 3 is having a lot of bugs.

So I'm not getting halo 3 for about 30 days.

Back-From-Purgatory 2007-09-30 20:07:48

This is why you don't buy into the most overrated game series in the history of gaming.

Fieron 2007-09-30 21:04:15

and this is the game you people overhyped way way too much, enjoy your crap

Zack 2007-09-30 21:25:37

The collectors edition, if that is what you bought.. got fucked up during shipping if thats what you have mircosoft is doing a recall on all of them and giving you guys new Cd's. I have no idea who you would talk to about this the store you bought it from is your best bet.

GenArmegeddon 2007-09-30 22:24:56

Wow, that sucks hard... i don't have a 360 but a lot of my freinds do and a lot of them say they've been having the same thing, id just return it and get another one.

And i agree with Back-From-Purgatory.. its a great game but Halo is waaay overrated...

escalade63 2007-09-30 22:26:37

yea my cuzin just went and picked up his legendary edition and it works fine (and it came wit a cool ass helmet) so like every else said already i would go and get a refund

WorkingClassHero 2007-09-30 22:27:48

i cant say much...except that this if anything is UNDERHYPED. yeah. ive played it.... its fucking great.

yoshi3d 2007-09-30 22:40:04

well u bought the shitty ass halo3 game disk that u probably overhyped about anyway,so therefore u deserve a broken 360 asshole !

Ramrod452 2007-09-30 22:56:37

well fieron, i'm sorry you are a selfish bastard who can't come to the reality that people by the halo games because they are fun and you don't like seeing people have a good time. So go back into your little cave and enjoy your non existant social life.

OOGIDIBA 2007-09-30 23:16:31

mines still good to go and ive played it for the last 4-5 days straight pretty much

john49 2007-10-01 00:40:03

ps3 has yet to encounter the severe system problems that the 360 suffers. too bad americans are too patriotic and thick headed to accept a foreign product as superior.

WilliWowza 2007-10-01 03:03:23

To John49, you know that Nintendo had dominated the market for quite some time, you know where they're from?
