Hello All,

First I would like to say welcome to my xbox blog. I created this blog for a computer science project so I decided to pick a topic I know a lot about. The Xbox! My Xbox addiction started in Nov 2001 when they released the original xbox. Unfortunately the first generation version sucked. I had to take it back because of disk read errors after only 2 weeks. Somehow I was able to get a replacement xbox from ToysRUS even though they were sold out everywhere.

Apparently Microsoft also sucks at making gaming consoles. Don’t get me wrong the xbox & xbox 360 are more fun than any other gaming system that I own. However, every xbox I have owned has had its share of problems. My 2 original xboxs both had disk read errors. My xbox 360 I bought worked good for about a year until it also started having disk read errors.

You would think after 5 or 6 years they would have the problems straightened out. NOPE. Remember this is Microsoft we are dealing with here. It seems that these problems are common yet they still haven’t done anything about it.

No blame on the hardware

At first I thought it was a hardware problem - maybe my dvd drive was broken or my game disks were messed up. However, after buying a brand new game I determined it wasn’t the game that was causing the problem. With further research I also discovered that in fact the issue had nothing to do with the console hardware at all. It was due to an operating system error that corrupts the hard drive over time whenever the game saves. Eventually the hard drive gets so corrupt that the system cant operate.
