    So this new problem is plaguing some 360 owners, and sadly I was afflicted tonight in the middle of a massive LAN party. It made me deeply sad. Microsoft fails to cover this issue in their extended three year warranty, even though it is an internal hardware problem like the RRoD (something video chip related and it gives an Error 74), and that makes me very mad. Here's some info on it:

    Has anyone else experienced this demon of an affliction yet?

    nah my xbox doesn't have that problem but recently a week ago i turned my xbox on to play some halo but i received a message that it was unplayable. i then put in all my 360 games and some movies and the same thing happened. it had something to do with that thing in the 360 that reads the games/videos. i know this because this same problem happened to me 2 times before. the first time i waited 3 weeks for the repair and when i got it it worked....for about 2 weeks then i sent it in again and here i am again. just sent it in friday. :(
