My 360 is having trouble reading the games I got for Christmas.
It was working fine on Christmas Eve when I played Alan Wake, Dead Rising 2 and Tekken 6 no problem.
This morning inserted COD:Black Ops and I get the disc is unreadable message. The disc is not scratched, is clean and it also will has trouble reading my Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Disc that I got as well.
Occaiosnally 9very ocassionally) I can play these two games. I insert them , it starts to load up for and then I get the message without being able to play the game.
I tried playing Tekken 6 and that worked no problem even playing online.
My 360 is 366 days old. (Got it last year for Christmas) so and is the 120gb elite , a newer model.
I don't expect something I paid so much for to break after one year's use (and I defintely don't play it that much. I don't take it to uni, so only play it on Xmas, easter and Summer hols and when I come home for a weekend)

Did they charge you for it?
I was in warranty so no
How long was the turnaround till you got new one? Sorry for all the questions, just think MIcrosoft are so disgustingly cheeky sending out faulty products.
If its lasted a year its not really faulty, disc drives can go funny... it took them about a week, they pick it up then they deliver it back.
Tried all my games and it wouldn't read any of them
Cured it myself by re-formatting HDD
Think it was caused when I shut Xbox down whilst it was writing to HDD
Of course it wiped out all my game saves and I had to start over but at least it was back up and running normally
or..................................
When I play games wth no hdd in, it works.
Interestingly since COD and AC and all the old games are now working ..... unless I install them.
When installed to the hdd i get the disc read error.
But if I then delete it and just play it by the disc it works ok
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Sorted, and cheaply ;-)
