These was a bad bach of xboxes, i had one as well. Also got a new one from the shop and haven`t had any problems with it.
 
My roommate had the same problem with his constantly freezing in games 3 days after buying it. The replacement has been running for a month now and has only freezed once in Tiger Woods.
 
First one I bought I got with the collectors editions G.o.W, after finishing the game in casual, I wanted to start over on Insane. Got to act 1 chapter 4 got the unreadable disc error. Removed the disc and there was a neatly scratched circle. After the paranoia set in I got the system replaced only to get the red circles on my new unit so got that replaced and all seems o.k. for now. Still have a collectors edition g.o.w that I can use for a coaster BT games don’t want to replace it.
 
Haha, neatly scratched circle. Don't know if you had read this but if you have a disc in and move the xbox 360, 99% chance there is a little bit that will scratch the **** out of the disc and render is useless...
 
Yeah i am aware of all the issues i def. wasnt moved and the console is horizontol. It really sucked

This happened to me too. There is a guy in pta that can 100% fix your disk for you. He removed all the scraches and its been working ever since.

Let me know if you want his number.
 
A lot of warnings not to change the orientation from vertical to horizontal or vice versa.

Yup. There is a video shop in Centurion that have machines that polish discs as well. I believe most video shops will have such a contact.
 
Im pretty sure any video store will remove those scratches, happened to my GoW as well. Got it repaired for R20 at Mr Video in Ballito.
