"Yeah, i'm having the problem. After the first mission ends, you reach a loading screen where disc read error pops up. It's so annoying and my console is pretty new too. I refuse to spend money on a new one just to play one game. All my other titles works flawless."

"I had this problem myself. I went to Gamestop to change disc for 3 different times and none of those work. Always the same spot it freezes and instantly Disc Is Unreadable error. Usually that happened on loading screens sometimes even firefight wouldn't work. Only map that worked was Crater day version. Thank you for making a news of this. Been waiting to be heard because Microsoft only says to change the game disc and that doesn't help. Thank you guys for making us heard."

"I actually got this message when I first put the ODST disc in my 360. I assumed my cousin had just put the disc in wrong or backwards, as I re-inserted the disc and it's worked fine ever since. Hmm. Will keep an eye out."

"it's doing the same thing as above it work on my friend but not my xbox. i've took it back to Best Buy to get another one and it dose the same thing. xbox support said there should be an updata soon for it."

"... Why are people playing their games off the disc anyway? Install to hard drive for christs sake! ... couple of noobs"

"Yep, I've replaced it once now and I get the same errors in the same places, on the multiplayer discs too. I'm really pissed about it, but thanks for making this an actual news item. Installing to the drive doesn't help, which suggests there is an actual error in the manufacturing."

"After the second cut scene, it loads super slow and then gives me the inable to read message. Returned it to Best Buy and got a new one. Identical thing happens. I tried everything, even clearing the cache. Nothing works."

"I think it has more to do with ODST having 2 million copies sold. that many copies you're bound to have problems with some people. "

"I got a disc read error too but i was playing the game from the hard drive happened only once so far"

"I have the same problem with Gears of War2."

"same problem but mine is a bit different me and a buddy beat the game on normal mode yesterday but i woke up this morning and tried the multiplayer disk and it wont even acknowledge it as an x-box DVD i get the big white screen with all he Japanese lettering.but didn't have a single problem with the campaign disk.my x-box is a 98 model "

"I'm on my third copy of the game so far, with no positive results. Which at this point both the ODST campaign, firefight are unplayable. Further it seems like whatever is generating this error has managed to leak over to Halo 3, compromising both campaign play and multi. Additionally and since it was suggested, installing the game on my consoles' Hard drive actually increases the speed in which the failure occurs. "

"This is complete crap. I have exchanged the game twice, at two seperate retailers, and still, utterly nothing. I have an old 20GB 360 that runs all my other games fine. Gee, what a pleasure it is to be a long-time 360 gamer, huh? Being rewarded with the inability to play one of the year's biggest releases. "

"When i got ODST it constitly froze while loading, then i had it switched with another new disc and it worked for maybe an hour and froze, then i started saving at every check point and it doesnt freeze bearly as much"

"Pre ordered ODST when it arrived campaign disc would not load. Sent it back as faulty. Second one arrived took ages to load on first play and now will not load again! I have 2008 Xbox 360 Elite."

"You gotta be kidding me. I just spent ¿200 on a new Elite console to find that my problem was widespread... Ah well. My old console was on it's way out."

"My halo 3 odst disc skips non stop during the beginning credits and i cannot skip that screan it does not let me and sometimes when i turn the game on it reads it as a dvd and instead of saying play halo 3 odst it reads play dvd."

"I exchanged this game once already and still it cannot be read. Always at the same point in the game and in firefight every now and then. No other games of mine do this"

"i am just going to wxchange in fact no i will demand my money back. my son is really dissapointed as it is the second copy to have a fault. our console was manufactured in 2006 but all other games play fine. all except this! why aren't the general public being told about this as it appears to be widespread!"

"i have a halo odst yesterday and i play the level on "the rookie" and is comes up this disk is unreadable and it has gone on my fucking nerves !!!! :( bungie better fix this otherwise im getting a refund ! waaaaaa ! p.s. the xbox scratches loads of disks so watch out !! TIP : DONT PUT UR XBOX VERTICALLY BECAUSE IT FUCKS UP THE DISKS SO PUT IT HORIZONTALLY "

"same thing happens to me after the drop and then after the first flash back bit but firefight works fine i bought the limited edition so i expect bungie to either give me a refund or fix this problem pronto"

"It works on my friends new 360 perfectly, but not on my old one (from 2006) it won't even let me view the first cutscence"

"Same issue here. Game freezes regularly and I lose saved game data. The 360 now locks up on the dashboard as well as does the Halo 3 disc. If you talk to XBox support, make sure you mention "disc read error" or they will claim they can't find the issue in the database. We need as many people as possible to call in to xbox support and log the issue."

"having problems with the game freezing when i play firefight with other people happend many times usually after about the 2nd set"

"I unfortunately have experienced similar problems. What i found out, after a series of some frustrating troubleshooting, that the cause of the problem was indeed my hard drive. I also tried it with a different profile to check for the remote possibility of corrupted files, which turned out to be a failure. So, I borrowed my friends memory card(MU) and loaded my main profile on it. Voilaa!! it works. Despite finding out a solution I'm still boody pissed as I'm not able to play ODST online with friends without a hard drive. PS. My hard drive is fine as I was able to play other games without any problems. AND ODST worked just fine without my HDD attached."

"My ODST freezes usually every cutscene.EX.(When Buck opens Dare's pod and when a Chieftain wounds Romeo)I posted it on the Bungie ODST forums and everyone says it works fine and they call me a noob. I can't finish the friggin game on Easy because of this crap. Hurry up Bungie! :( "

"When I had first brought the game home I had insert it in to play...Nothing Happen. All I got was open the tray. So I had open it and close it then it played. (Note)I have the first Gen 360. I had to open the tray again every time when I play ever since. Now It will not read it. That goes for the Multi Disc as well. All my other games works fine. I had a buddy bring his odst over and it did the same on mines. I had took my copy back to GameStop and got another copy. It still did the same thing. I am fed up with all the 360 crap. 2 rrod on the same box and now this???"

"I downloaded it to my hard drive and i cant play it cos you have to use the disc also.. whats the point of downloading it if you still need the disc.. how stupid is that "
