But I did just notice something while looking at mygamercard.net profile thing. I'm listed as #1 in the world in Galaga. This can not be right.
Yeah, I've heard all the stories of launch systems dropping like flies. I was hoping I was one of the lucky ones and got a system that would prove that theory wrong...I guess not. Now both of my warranty's have expired (store and Microsoft) and Microsoft customer service wants me to pay $140 to fix it. Which really means "we will send you a refurbished unit that will break in four months and you will have to pay again to get another refurbished one". Screw that.
If I can I'll probably just pick up a new one on payday and if that one dies Microsoft loses a customer.![]()

My 360 crapped out about 2 weeks ago, like I mentioned in the other 360 thread. Turns out it works fine if I make it stand vertically for a couple of minutes. Discs that just before were read as "unplayable" are suddenly working fine, even after I put it back horizontal.
Anyone have any idea why that would happen?
Laser might be having some trouble reading the boot-up sequence. I don't know too much about how they encode that sector into videogame discs so that's just a random guess, but I would imagine your laser is slightly off. With my modded PS2 it eventually had the same issue (could rarely boot games but once one started up there was no problem) until I took it apart and adjusted the laser. Not that I recommend doing that with a 360, mind you.
lol
That makes much more sense.
