    I have a fresh new copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. All the into movie stuff works fine. But I hit the title screen, press the start button and get a "This disc is unreadable." I've tried everything on Microsoft's support page (original 360). 
    I'm stumped. The disc is in better condition than most of my others, and they're having no problems. 
    Anyone?

    Did you try cleaning the drive lens?

    I had this problem before. It turned out my 360s disc drive was dying.

    I hope your drive isn't failing. My old 360 acted up like that and I eventually had to send it in because it got to the point where it wouldn't even recognize that a disc was inserted.

    Me too. Then the disc drive decided to completely shred one of my games. :(

    Your face is unreadable 
     
    But really, do you have a slim? How old is the xbox? Those problems are usually disc drive related, or maybe something is wrong with the lens.

    @JJWeatherman:
    This console is a referbished replacement sent by Microsoft like 4 months ago! I've had so many problems with these damn things... 
    @xyzygy:  
    It's an original 360, and it's having no trouble reading any other discs. This one seems to be in good shape, too.
