Forum:My Xbox Doesn't Read the Fallout Disc..

I don't know how or what i did. every other game works well, except fallout 3. I put it in, close the tray. i hear the xbox working, but then it stops. It says "open tray" but that's everything. i tried putting the xbox on and off, putting another disc in, then put fallout in again. It doesnt work. What can i do ...?

Ooooooooooooooooh fuck. Um...how long have you had your X-box for? -Xandus the Legend

Have you actually looked at the Fallout 3 disc? It's probably been rendered unreadable by the system. If you have a perfect ring going around the bottom of the disk, you're screwed and will need a new disc. You may also want to try playing the disc on another 360 to see if it's a hardware problem, although I doubt it if it can read other discs. --Esscex 21:24, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I have it from my birthday, in September... It doesn't have a ring on the disc.. I don't know people in my neighbourhood who has an xbox. Gta Star 17:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have any friends with a 360? Hell, you may even want to go up to Gamestop and check with them. --Esscex 20:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Try wiping the disk with a fine cloth, even though it seems there's nothing on the disk, it might be worth while to wipe it.ViperXeon 21:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The disk isn't the problem, it's the x-box that's having trouble. Cleaning the disk won't do anything. The problem is the disk reading part of the X-box I had the EXACT same problem two months ago, so I sent in my X-box for repairs and it came back good as new. -Xandus the Legend But EVERY other game works fine, except Fallout.

Unless that sort of shit is covered by the warranty, maybe you should buy a whole new disc; or use a disc cleaner or something. That seems rather implausible for the xbox to not be able to read a single disc that isn't damaged; Unless it's formatting is completely bizarre and you got that disc from China Town, Or you laid that sucker out in the sun for a good few hours. But don't waste money and time giving it back to Microsoft or Play-N-Trade. They're bust. Xdarkdragonx 04:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Dragon

Okay here's what you need to do. You said that the xbox plays other games fine, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem, seriously think that through. Before you say goodbye to your xbox for 1-2 months go and RENT another copy of Fallout 3, then try it. If that disc works, it's your current fallout disc that is messed up, so either buy a new one or hell, just swap the two if the Rental store doesn't put some big ass sticker on their discs. Okay well, that last one was kind of a joke but still...Have you even tried any of this stuff out? Give us feedback so we know how to help. --Esscex 04:44, 8 May 2009 (UTC) I'll Rent a game tomorrow. Gta Star 15:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC) -- It Works Now ^^ This morning, i rented another Fallout Game. That one worked fine. after that, i went to GameMania (something like GameStop) and i told the problem. like 3 hours later, they called to say that there were a few hard to see scars. They repair those things, and now it works fine.

Thanks ! (: Gta Star 16:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! Glad to help. I probably need to do the same to my disc, it will freeze up about once a day, and it has a several light scratches. --Esscex 02:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
