I recently went through 3 Xbox 360's in 3 months. THREE!. All ending with the same problem. It wont read the game! (as well as other games when tried) I insert the disc, I hear it trying to read the disc by the sound of spinning, but then it goes quiet with the "Open Tray" title appearing where the game title would be. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing? And if they are suspicious of Black Ops being the culprit. (I have only played Black Ops since release)
NOW, I know what you'll say "DONT BLAME THE GAME!", "YOU PROBABLY JUST SUCK AT BLACK OPS!", "STOP BASHING THE GAME!" and so on and so on.
But, As a fan of the series and game, and considering this is a forum to discuss things involving the game, I do have a suspicion. Just a suspicion.
Also, 2 other notes:
1) When booting up my current Xbox (which is a Slim 250GB) from not playing it for a few hours to a day, It will sometimes read the game fine with a "CalI of Duty: Black Ops" title, But after playing for maybe 2, or 3 online matches, a message will pop up saying "The disc is scratched or dirty" and will take me to the dashboard where an "Open Tray" title appears instead of the game title. Now when this happens, I notice the Slim is really warm, I would even say hot to the touch. Could this be a heat problem? and..
2) When trying to install the game on my Xbox, it goes to about 65% and proceeds with a "Can't read disc, It is scratched or dirty" and stops installation completely. The game is in great condition and upon close inspection there are NO scratches or smudges.
I've went through 2 Xboxs' that dont work now, and the problem just popped up today on my current system since Black Ops' release! Also, the Xbox system I had (which was a 60 GB white one) worked perfectly fine for 1 and a half years before playing Black Ops. Strange? Coincidence? Odd?..
Please share your thoughts..
