GTA IV Problems Plague Xbox 360 Too PDF Print E-mail

After I clocked in quite a few hours on GTA IV, I started having problems with disc unreadable errors coming up. I tried clearing the cache and starting the game without the hard drive attached and still kept getting the same problem. At first I was skeptical, given the failure rate of 360s, but after looking around I came across a huge thread on the Xbox forums where it seems like this is a bigger problem than I originally thought.

 I totally agree. I played this game once for no less that 2 hours and had problems. I personally despise GTA games of the new gen. :angry:

 I had the exact same problems after playing for only three days. I logged three missions and saved then shutdown my console for the day. The next day the load screen came up and flashed through the normal startup screens and then "Unreadable Disk Error" came up on the screen. I replaced my GTA IV disks twice and sent my console back once. Finally after getting my console back I am able to play the game. Though, I am seeing artifacts after a while and some minor glitches with game play.

 It's not gta 4 thats giving you problems. It's the fact that xbox 360's are pieces of s**t! Games don't give you the rings of death, excessive dust and heat cause this problem.

 Although I must say my favorite boneheaded console move came from Sony: they informed fans that excessive dust may get into the PS2 and cause problems leading to the ultimate junking of the system. When asked how to fix the problem (a simple dust problem usually involves screwing off the cover and using high pressure air canisters to clean it out) Sony said people had to send back the PS2. Someone said: Why can't we do this ourself? but any PS2 owner knows of the foreboding silver warantee sticker they placed on their machine...Remove it and all hope of official repairs are lost. It really sucked.

This was of course referring to the original honking PS2 that was like a big black brick. The PS2 Slim never had this problem...at least they learned...I guess.

 I used a vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust in my PS2. That's always fixed my dreaded 'disc read errors.'
