Alright, not 100% sure this is where this thread should go, but this sounded about right. Anyway, was trying to watch a movie today in my main room, and I use my x360 to watch movies with on my 42" tv (it's hooked up via component to the TV and optical to my receiver). I've never had any issues with any movie (burnt or not) with my 360, but today it just simply said "Unreadable disk" when I inserted my LEGALLY BOUGHT copy of "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind". This confuses me as the disk has absolutely zero damage (not even the slightest bit of a mark, never mind a scratch), and will play in both of my other computers. I cannot see anything different about this particular disk; no extra copy protection, no strange region code (it is region 1 by the way), just nothing at all out of place. What could be going on here? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Plus it cheeses me off as I had to watch the movie through my computer (also hooked up to my TV) which does not have full 5.1 support or a good inter-connect (just a 3.5mm phono to RCA jack cable). Thanks.
Did you turn if off and on again or have you been using the 360 for any length of time? Is it on or in a dusty area?
Yes, tried a reboot. But before that I tried another DVD, which worked perfectly well. No, it is not in a dusty area (hardwood floor, on an upright stand, obviously standing upright). It's never over-heated, only locked up a few times in games (mostly in known-issue areas, like in lego star-wars 2, on the final super-story). So zero issues with the 360 as far as I can tell.
