"This issue manifests itself a as a unique 'disc unreadable' or 'disc unsupported' error on the screen and is unrelated to our recent public beta (alteration from original Eurogamer statement).

RussianVodkaxXiiNFiiNiiTY ok 1. Is this update out yet? if not when?
2. Would 2009 Arcade qualify? (prolly not)
3. Would a 2007 xbox qualify?
For Answer #1: In the US, it will be out on the 18th or 19th
For Answer #2 & 3: Microsoft reported that some of the older 360's will be likely to not be able to support the new dvd drive update, so I guess the 2009 would probably be compatible, don't know about the 2007 version (Pro Version)
WTF!!! I have a 2007 arcade edition this better not effect me!!!! I've taken great care of my xbox 360 :(

Your a **** dumbass, just leave till you know how to read. It says NOTHING about what xboxs this happens to, it said MS will replace your Xbox with a 260GB Slim Model :)

If our Xbox is fine and we call them up and tell them that our xbox is not reading the disc, can we get in trouble?
