after much procrastinating I finally go out and buy Capcom vs. SNK 2 for XBox. last copy of it at the store (odd, but irrelevant to the story). i'm finally all excited and ready to play it, come home, stick the CD in the Xbox, and watch nothing happen. black XBOX logo screen comes on. and sits there. nothing. happens. i check the CD. no cuts, smears, dirt, discolorations, scratches, nothing. perfectly fine. rub it on a tissue just to make sure. put it back in - same thing. CD won't load/read. i try my other games to see if its my Xbox..nope. halo, midnight club 2, etc. etc ALL work. so it's not the Xbox. what the HELL could be wrong with a CD that's in mint condition. no holes in it. NOTHING. argh, now i have to go through the hassle of returning it and HOPING they exchange it with another copy. ok i felt like whining. but this is retarded.

That happened to my brother, only with a Dreamcast game, brand new and didn''t work. The store exchanged it without any problems and it worked fine, just kind of a pain.

... how new is your Xbox? Some of the older Xbox consoles have problems with the newer games. Mine is one of them. I am constantly getting dirty disk errors and the error that you described. I''m probably going to have to send it in and get it fixed. Though I do think it''s pretty messed up that I''m going to have to pay around $100 for something that''s Microsoft''s fault.

And people laughed when I said to beware of a console made by Microsoft. But who is laughing now, huh?
Hahahahaha! Your soul belongs to the evil monopoly now!

Oh well. It''s worth it. Xbox has had some pretty good games.

Can''t wait for Halo 2 and Fable. Too bad their official release dates are "never."
