Sounds like the 3 red lights of doom are imminent  I hope not !! It very strange that about 2wk ago, just before it started playing up, you rang me and said, "hows ur xbox goin, it shud be due to go faulty now" or somet like that, and now its going faulty !! Have you put a curse on it ?
cheers... Pit

| thats exactly why i traded mine in for an Elite, just handed it it in at Gamestation and they didn't even turn it on, good job, it was barely reading discs at that stage. sorry Duke, but it won't get any better, as it happens with brand new discs...
who says you can't polish a turd... |

| | I've had the disc reading problems for ages now, maybe 6 months. For me to get discs to actually read I had to turn the Disc Autostart feature on, to get the disc drive to spin up when I turn the Xbox on. Instead of booting straight to the dashboard. If I want to swap a game I have to eject the current game, insert the different disc then reboot it . And as Flan Said it doesnt get any better, sometimes I have to reboot 3-4 times to get a game to start .

| Sounds like the begining of the end!!!
Mine started like that and lasted around 1 month until the 3 red lights.
Should be covered by the warranty but its the 2-3 weeks without it that hurts most.
Good luck.
