MLG Cheehwawa Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) What's up with this? I just got my Xbox back from Microsoft (they repaired the red rings) and I started playing GTA IV. I got to the clothing store in the beginning, bought some stuff, then the game froze. I restarted my console, and played back to that point again (thanks, auto save) and it froze right when I reached the front door of the clothing store. This happened two more times. Now I tried clearing my cache and deleting about 4 GB worth of demos and game saves (including all GTA IV saves) and the disk won't even get past the beginning photo montage now. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong? EDIT: I should also mention that I have tried loading the game up without being connected to the internet (ethernet unplugged) and tried both of my Harddrives. Now Halo 3 won't load up either. Is it something to do with the disk? The internet? My Xbox?

Wolfah Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 A few questions, i might be able to help you. Did you buy the SPECIAL EDITION? Where did you get the game? What type of XBOX 360 do you have? Please feel free to add one of my messagers.

(Del) Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 If you take a look at the Troubleshooting section, you will see everyone is having problems. It sounds to me like your XBox is broke, if other games arent playing. Time to give Microsoft another shout. We will wait on the fix.

MLG Cheehwawa Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 A few questions, i might be able to help you. Did you buy the SPECIAL EDITION? Where did you get the game? What type of XBOX 360 do you have? Please feel free to add one of my messagers. I got the regular edition. I got it from a store down here called F.Y.E. I have a Premium Xbox 360. I think it's my Xbox actually, but the problem started in GTA. The same thing happened to my second Xbox 360 that's upstairs... I sent in this Xbox to get fixed for the red ring, you don't normally get your exact same Xbox back (I noticed mine being different, the disk drive doesn't get caught on the default faceplate when ejecting, and the power button doesn't click like my old one) so I guess whoever's I got had a failing disk drive. I requested a box, so I'll be sending it into Microsoft for repairs.... Couple more weeks without GTA IV Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/337877-xbox-360-the-disk-is-unreadable/?do=findComment&comment=1057994782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarbo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I had the very same problem with my first copy, I brought it back to the store and they exchanged it for me, and now it works fine. I imagine it is probably your DVD is bad, or the replacement drive in your Xbox 360 is bad.
