Spartans cry: It’s raining Halo 3 disc errors
Microsoft‘s Xbox division and developer Bungie Studios probably earned lots of greenbacks from the release of Halo 3 alone, but that much comes with countless of complaints on the Internet about defective discs. And we’re not talking about Limited Editions getting scratched here.
Some Xbox 360 units are apparently getting “Cannot Read Disc” errors after some Master Chief moments, while others stop working completely.
There are numerous claims on both official Bungie and Xbox forums about Halo 3 causing plenty of problems, including consoles suffering from the red rings of death. Many others who want to finish the fight encounter disc read errors in specific game modes, keeping them from playing further.
The case doesn’t seem to be about whether it’s the Limited or Standard edition, because both have been reported to cause problems. Some root the issues down to hard disc data being corrupted, as removing the hard disc seem to make the game work fine. Physical scratches on the game are often disregarded, since even those who are running on their replaced copies claim to experience these problems. Others who recently bought a 360 for Halo 3 aren’t any more fortunate.
With all the big threads appearing on popular online forums about Halo troubles, we reckon Microsoft or Bungie won’t be keeping mum for long. Our eyes are peeled for any official statements, so watch this space!
