ok. .I can play cd's and dvd's but for some reason, my game console won't play games? odd isnt it? I have not modded it or anything. .just a couple days ago the load time started lagging, then yesterday it just froze mid-load. now I get stuck on the title screen when I put in a game for abot five min. then get a prompt to call the number in the user manual. . .yes I called. . .I was told to send it to Microsoft to have it fixed. .yea. .I'll do that, just let me go rob a bank(sheesh!!) there are no flashing lights and I cannot find my exact problem on the "net"
so I figured I would come here in the game forum( it might be firmware related I think because the hard ware works)
any guesses?

Xbox Owner Sues Over Defective Disk Drives
Thu 28 October, 2004 23:26

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A video game fan upset over a failed disc drive in his Xbox video game console has sued Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O on behalf of all Xbox owners across the United States..

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, seeks to represent anyone who bought an Xbox in the United State since the console's November 2001 launch.

The plaintiff, Sean Burke, said his console stopped reading any and all discs after less than a year of use, whether those discs were games, CDs or DVDs.

"The defective Xboxs stop working after minimal usage, after unreasonably, unconscionably, unusually and unexpectedly short amounts of time," the lawsuit said.

Microsoft said it was reviewing the complaint.

"We've designed and manufactured the Xbox with the highest quality standards and our customer satisfaction is very high," the company said in a statement.

The suit seeks damages, restitution and various other costs and fees.
