So i had always thought my 360 was a solid machine, never freezing and never screwing up on me, until after a couple months since i had purchased it it began reading games as DVDs and sometimes it would not even be able to translate the disc at all (claiming it was dirty or scratched) i assumed dirty optics....so i cleaned the lens and after a while, no problems...but its starting up again and i just wanted to know if any of you guys who have expereinced this before can tell me the best possible solutions

I never lag unless your Host is some crap.

I vaguely remember hearing something about this, I will try and track the source down, but it will however take a while :D

same thing happened to me, with the disc reading as a dvd. but it wasn't like that, it knew it was a 360 game, but my 360 thought it was a dvd player :lol: , i know it sounds like i'm crazy but it would say "to play this disc, place in an xbox 360 console."

anyway, i got a lens cleaner disc from gamestop for my 360 disc reader lens, i can't remeber if it worked, yet my problam hasn'toccured for months :D

So after me and my dad called ms support and after speaking to a supervisor, they offered to do repairs for 50% off the original price of repairs, i think this is a pretty decent offer considering that they could just entirely replace my 360 and im basiclly only paying 70 bucks for a new one
