XBOX 360 Elite crapping out

[Taso]

So, was having a blast playing this system - just bought it a week ago, I don't think I've been to class since. About a week after I get it, it stops being able to read any games. It says, "the disc is unreadable"

From what I've read, this is a common problem with 360's, and you have to send them in to microsoft to get it fixed.

LAME.

I have this sick Samsung 50" DLP HDTV, and the whole set up was like perfect - I mean, I had the original xbox for what, 20 years (I got it when it first came out, not really 20 years, I was kidding) and it STILL works, 360 elite, dunzo in a week.

Poor performance Mr. Gates. (haha)

33 percent failure rate and microsoft is ok with that. thats why i havent gotten a 360 yet, almost everyone i know is on their 2nd or 3rd 360(not elite, just normal 360) one is even on his 5th

5th? That's really sick.

Tough break man, I've gotten lucky so far, Original worked fine and my elite has worked fine (thus far).
