I've recently got 99nights and I'm receiving a mass amount of errors stating that the disc is unreadable during random points of play. I was also getting allot of the same from Dynasty warriors 5. Both games were brand new! And never scratched or dirty.

I've called Xbox tech and after the guy hummed a few times he cut me off! So I’m just wondering if anyone gets the same error "This disc is unreadable" It’s really frustrating as I can't progress in my games or play without the fear of it bombing. :(

Try moving/reorientating the console so it is on an absolutely level surface, and move it so its well ventilated (even if you think that its well ventilated now).

If the problems still persist then it could be a return job.

Yeah gonna give that a go! :)
 
Yeah i've been wishing it would go away but its happening more and more. After doing a tiny bit of googling some people beleive it to be a fault in the samsung drive firmware. I'm ringing support back now and telling them I've tried more games. Oh and that I put the console into PAL 60 lol as they suggested. :p
 
Well looks like its going in for repair now! although he stated it would take up to 3 weeks for it to be returned! Hope not as I've got 3 Pre-orders! :(
 
This will be my third 360! I just hope now its third time lucky, i'm not that bothered but its just a pain having to mess around returning etc. :(

I've had the error come up a few times playing oblivion. My current 360 is only a few weeks old, I hope it's not dying! :(

I'm pretty sure for oblivion some people suggest that clearing the cache (hold A when the game boots?) fix's the problem, worth a shot! Might be best searching though to find out exactly what to do, as I'm not 100% certain mate. :)
 
Got my 360 back today, this one is a refurb i think due to the date 07/12/2005. Everything on it was in mint condition it came in a sealed bag and all the bits had the protective covers etc. Played a fair bit on 99 nights and not had the problem once. :)
 
Hmm doesn't sound good mate. Been reading around and some people suggest it could be down to a certain firmware used with the samsung drive. But then I've seen people get the errors with the Hitachi??! Its not just down to N3 though a lot of games appear to reproduce this error for no apparent reason.
 
On N3 or on another game? And when you say freezes is your xbox crashing or you getting the disc unreadable?
 
Ah sounds like a different problem mate. It could be on its way to the 3 lights of death! Definatly sounds like its on its way out though. I supose you could give a few more local ASDA branches a call? Or exchange it with MS?
