Halo 3: ODST - Image 1Reports of "Unreadable Disc" came out last week for Bungie's blockbuster hit, Halo 3: ODST. Today, Microsoft has responded to these reports, saying that it's just a "very small number" of cases.

The disc-read errors were said to occur particularly on the campaign mode, which in effect freezes the game, therefore becoming unplayable from that point on. Other complaints say that after the error, the Xbox 360 unit itself crashes.

Said MS via a spokesperson, "We are aware of a very small number of people who are reporting they can't play the game. We are looking into it, but at this point it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue."

For their part, Bungie is currently gathering data from those who experienced the said glitch in order to find the real problem and hopefully get it fixed quick.

It's not the system but the game itself that's causing the problem.

» Small percentage

From previous definitions (RROD), we know that means about 55% of the discs are bad.

Just like perfectly clean DVD movies can get choppy at the same point every time, games can freeze at the same point ever time. Happens on all the systems



Reminds me of the kids screaming about Dead Rising making their 360 RROD. So dumb
