February 7th, 2006 I tried Call of Duty 2, and the same error message, “Disc unreadable” was displayed.
I phoned the support line on 0800 587 1102 and they took my phone number as said they’d get back to me.
\me twiddles thumbs
Update @ 2100: I phoned the support line again and got through to a proper engineer. We ran through his script as usual and came to conclusion that I had to send it back for repair again.
You know, it’s getting to the point where I don’t really care any more. I’ve never really had any quality time playing anything yet, and while I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen so far, I’m not holding my breath about the console (with a different serial number again, I suppose) I’ll be getting back.
Never had it, never missed it.
Also I saw on the support forums, that people were getting pissed off because they had chosen the gold level XBox Live! membership which carries a monthly subscription and they were losing days during the time their console was away getting fixed/reconditioned/replaced.
I’m not sure if they were getting that time back on their accounts.
It’s scary, my mate had problems with his when he got it but was didn’t want to send it for repair incase he never got it back for donkeys so he soldiered on with a flakey machine. It’s sorted now though, the HD was just not connected right (yet the HD still worked throughout which was strange).
With all the reports of dodgy machines and overheating powerpacks, I was scared to leave mine plugged in at the wall at first but am beginning to trust it (also, I got peed off trying to work out my last save in a game as the battery backed-up clock would run down by the next night and so all the saves I made the previous night had apparently been made on the 22/11/2005!
)
I know your’s is a different and much more serious problem than my friends, but hang in there matey, you know it will be worth it, and hopefully when “Saints Row” comes out you’ll be saying “Grand Theft what?”!
