I was playing Fifa 08 last night when the disc stopped spinning. About 5 mins later it came up saying disc unreadable. I reset the console and after a while it came up with the error again. :(

I've had this problem with Fifa 07 about 2 months ago and Fifa 06 RTWC a year ago when I first bought the console.
I haven't had any problems with other games just Fifa. I have kept the xbox in the same position and haven't moved it.

From looking at the discs they don't look scratched and they work fine in my mates 360. :confused:
Is there anything that can be done to fix this or will I have to buy a new console?

Thanks.

I had the same problem with FIFA, went back and exchanged it for a different version, same thing happened :( Its very intermittent but blooming annoying.

The same thing happened with Gears with my girlfriends 360 and loads of people had the problem with DiRT.

Not sure where the problem lies, must be some hardware issue conflicting with certain CD's??

Good old Microsoft!

By the way, when my girlfriend did have the problem with Gears she got her 360 changed and the same problem occured!

Click to expand...

mine does this sometimes, the disk stops spinning, and you can hear a little "click" every few seconds as the 360 tries to read/pickup the disc again, and eventually you get the error. Mine is not in warranty anymore, but I have been thinking of sticking in one of those DVD lens cleaners (mines on loan so ain't tried it yet). It can;t do any harm if you have one knocking around. Having said that if it is under warranty get it swapped.

I think I have a DVD cleaner laying around somewhere, will try that.

Unfortunately my 360 lost it's warranty last month.
 
only for 3 red lights issues,

so of course if this keeps happening just let them know it has 3 red lights on the console...
 
Just went to try and use a dvd lens cleaner to now find that the disc tray will not open up at all and it's still got my fifa disc in it. :mad:

Looks like i'm going to have to buy a new one. Will probably be buying an elite or PS3 next week if it doesn't fix itself.
