5% discount? That's kinda cheap of them....well, I guess it's better than nothing though. Maybe they've had enough people complain to them about bad business policies.
Hopefully they'll have their bugs worked out by next year, by then I ought to be getting a 360.

I had this happen to me once but it was only because my cat pulled the power cable halfway out of the wall. I hope that I never get it for a system crash though, that would suck.

I've had my 360 for nearly two years now and I've yet to see this on mine. I have however had few problems (only minor) with dirty disc read errors but the worst was with GRAW2 in which case I had to return the game and get a refund as it was totally unplayable. Hopefully when I get a PS3, I'll buy it for that and see it works if GRAW2 still doesn't play on a Elite 360.

Well....Elite works fine so far......actually the only thing I am worried is that the dust is going in through the top...wish I could find some decend cover for it while it is turned off...

I have no clue why it happens, but I am sure it has nothing to do with Halo 3. It more sounds to me like this thing happens due to some kind of short circut in the machine itself...and people do have a tendecy of overdoing it when they play.

Yeah, from what I've read, it's not down to the game as I've heard it happen with lots of other games. I guess it's all down to many factors such as placement of machine, how long you use it etc. Luckily, I've never had that problem and my 360 is standing right next to my Wii and my Alien head collection box. I do think that it's due to over playing as I remember that the PS1 had major problems with the lens overheating and melting with the first lot of machines.

Yeah, what Val says sounds like it....and what I said above
A technical failure like that, major one, cannot have anything to do with a game disc,.......no matter what game you put in the machine if it is bound to happen it will happen...
