Has GTA IV killed my 360?... or vice versa perhaps?
Bought the game ystdy. Played for around 40 mins before being called out to work. Today played an hour and a quarter online and got a message that the disc has an error. How so, i just bought it brand new yesterday for £45! I opened the tray and examined the disc. To my horror there was a white ring along the outside which went right around the disc. I used a cloth to give the disc a wipe. A portion of the residue cleared but there was still an imprint. The game starts. Just before the menu it returns the same message and crashes. This has never happened before! I tested fight night round 3 and pro evo 2007. No problems at all. Nothing appears to be wrong with the 360. I've read quite abit about this being a common error.
I'm happy to return this for another copy but what happens when i'm out of warranty. Bought it from Game. They say they'll replace it with another copy, frankly i dont want the game anymore if it carries a risk that it'll be damaged after 28 days! They wont give me a refund. I understand they'll only accept a sealed unopened copy. I guess the only way to deal is then return back with the unopened replacement copy and get my money back!!!!
Anyone else had this issue? Sure i'm not alone.
Getting fed up of the 360. Its frozen a few times last year on me and is louder than my wife's diesel car. It's always a relief when you switch the machine off and enjoy the silence. If i could sue Microsoft, i would!!!!
