Xbox 360 - Won't run 1 game!!!

MelonStrings · 22 Jan 2007 at 22:14

Hi All,

Any ideas on this one?

I got Tiger Woods 2007 recently... but my 360 won't read the disc... now the game was brand new and sealed when I got it... so it wasn't scratched or damaged or anything... It plays PES6, GoW, PGR3 just fine... my old Xbox games just fine... Everything works!!! It's just this 1 game.... To make it worse... I went back and changed it at the store today... so I had another brand new sealed TW2007... and guess what!!!

THIS ONE WON'T READ EITHER!?!?!

This is the first issue I've had with my 360... I didn't know it was so against Tiger... It seemes to like him in 2006... Please... Any ideas lads?

Cheers,
Melon.

Rather bizarre might be dodgy batch i mean if other games work then why is Tiger Woods not.

I tend to think it's the 360 being a little fussy at times.
I've had a similar experience with my 360 (second 360 I've had, the first was artifacting from the moment it loaded it's first game) although my 360 seems to occasionaly not like PGR3 and say it's dirty/not in a 360 console :rolleyes:

I then try other games and they give me the same message, even after a reset of the console. I have to leave it a while, usualy overnight as it's the evening anyway, then it will work fine again. But it always seems to be PGR3 that starts it acting up, and the disc is spotless.

It's happened a few times in the 8 months I've had the 360, I'm just hoping it happens again soon so I can take it back and get a new one (hopefully one thats a bit quieter)

There's nothing wrong with Tiger Woods, apart from being a little too cut down from other versions. It's a very good golf game, you just have to like golf a bit.

TW07 is a great game for a relaxing afternoon.

Don't know why anyone would slate it, even the die hard EA haters admit its allot better than 06.

try the game on a friends 360, see if it works, if not then get a refund and buy elsewhere

JAMAL · 23 Jan 2007 at 15:32

Did you buy the 360 new?

Chipped/flashed 360 hitachis with a certain firmware were known to not boot tiger 2007, a copy of it worked tho strangley enough.

I think its the Tiger Woods game mate.

I remember a problem with Tiger Woods 2005 (I think)
It was released and no matter how many brand new TW 05 you got they didn't work on the PS2.

In the end, the makers of Tiger Woods 2005 bought out a version 2 of the game and all the version 1s were recalled and you got a straight swap.

Coincidently it seems this has happened again, this time, with 07.
It isn't your 360 buddy

Turned out it was the start of a 360 failure... after a while it started to fail reading other games too...

Still... got it replaced now... so it's all good...

Cheers,
