I'm a PC gamer who hasn't really played Xbox360 for any long period of time. Today I decided to pick up an Arcade (ordered the 20gb HD too) with Gears of War II and Fable II, two games that really caught my eye and aren't available on PC. So I set everything up; Xbox horizontal in a wide uncluttered area, setup XBL, d/l XNE, system updates, the whole nine.
I decide to play GoWII and not ten minutes into the game I get a "The Disc is Unreadable, please remove the disc and clean with a soft cloth" error message. I literally just bought a brand new Xbox360 and a brand new copy of GoWII taken directly out of its case and into the Xbox360 and I get this message. I end up getting these errors about once every 15 to 30 minutes during the game, making it really unplayable...
I got frustrated with GoWII and then proceeded to play Fable II and was happy to see that there was a patch update for it as well. Now... the game freezes on loading screens. I have read that Fable II does have long loading screens, but does it really take 10 minutes to load? The last freeze drove me to write this post, and even as I write all of this, it's either still loading or it froze.
Is this normal behavior for an Xbox 360 and I just need to get used to it? Or is there something possibly wrong with it and I should just return it to Best Buy for another one?
If it makes any difference my lot number was 831 and Mfr date was 8/10/2008 or something close to that.
Cliffs:
-Pick up an Xbox 360 Arcade earlier today
-Get a "unreadable disc" error playing a brand new copy of GoWII on a brand new Xbox360 10 minutes into the game
-Freezing during Fable II loading screens
-Is this the nature of Xbox 360's or should I return for a new one?
