HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Tragedy last night my mom knocked over my 360. Went to play it today said it couldnt read halo 3, took the game out to see the dreaded ring the 360 has been known to leave on the cd's :'( I was thinking return the game but there assholes at the gamestop i bought it from and i doubt theyd accept it back. any ideas? or am i gonna have to go spend another 60$

Thats happened to me once, when I first got my 360. U have to bring the disk back to the store and ask for another one.

Just tell em my xbox scratched it? Im worried there not gonna take the game back, these dudes are by far the worst employees ive ever seen at a video game store, there all the "salesman" type and they try to con u out of every penny. If i can come up with a reasonable excuse it might work but i ono.

Well find out... whats the worst theyre gonna do..? say no

If you still have the receipt, take it back and get a new copy. They have no reason to deny you a new copy, as long as you have the receipt. It doesn't matter how the game was ruined, either.

The same damn thing happened to me, except my dog is the one that knocked it over. Damn animals...lol. I just took it back to Game Crazy told them I did'nt know what happened, it worked perfectly one day and the next day the 360 said it couldnt read it....lol, it worked though. Try that

sadly, :'( i cant find meh reciept

What kind did you get? If you got the LE, then you can take it back and say it was scratched when you got it. It may work even if you got the normal edition. Just tell them it was scratched when you got it.

That happened to me too. see when u tilt your 360 while your machine is running (with the game in it), the lens in the 360 will totally make that ring scratch. I got it replaced and they game stop ppl accepted it back. ur unlucky :/ sry dude.

is it so hard to just lay the 360 on its side =\

edit: hey AModderPerson, you joined 1 day after me

Heres what I say. "Hey, uhmm I bought this and put it in my xbox, and then I suddenly heard a grinding sound. When I tried to play it, it wouldn't load and kept giving me a message. I have no clue what happened, are you guys able to fix it or do I just trade it in for a new one?"

No... It stays reasonably cooler standing it upright like its meant.

Anyway, i went to a local video game store that has a machine that resurfaces cds and gots it fixed for 2$ ^_^ but i ended up selling my live card when i couldnt play, anyone got some free 2-day cards they dont want?

Call microsoft, just say that, when you got it it was already scratched, and just send it

thats y i always keep my 360 laying down

my disc says unreadable disc sometimes too man I really dont know what to say. Tell them the xbox did it. Try to make it sound like you did not do anything to it at all.

TOOTHPASTE, Dont laugh it works. Put toothpaste on it and wipe it off with a wet towel and it fixed my friends GoW

I would not recommend that... It would depend on the kind of toothpaste and the kind of towel you used.

To the last 5 or so ppl that posted after meh....

READ!! I stated I got it fixed >_> fer 2$
Anyway if anyone has any of the spare 48 hour trial cards i could really use one(or more), They sometimes came with Halo 3, somehow everyone i know got one in it, but me that is >_>

my buddy amtrack did the same thing JUST last night.

I know you had it fixed, I was trying to help retards from messing up their disks by putting FREAKING TOOTHPASTE (!!!) on them! "oh noaz mi disk r br0kn i triyed 2 fix it w/ tuuthpast but it blu up and cut mi hand off "

One more thing:
Step 1: Get a job.
Step 2: Do it well, and get payed.
Step 3: Take your money and go buy a one year XBL gold card.

The minimum wage is $6.55. By my calculation, that would be 7.633 Hours of work to get $50. It works for the rest of us, it will work for you...
