Yikes, tried a blu-ray movie just for shits and giggles, thing sounded like it was going to detonate. Ugh.
Shoot, I don't even have cable. I guess they'll be Killer Instinct boxes until they're replaced. Still, it's just disappointing because there's nothing I can do about it until there's stock. Since I bought from Gamestop, I have to wait until they get more units, and god knows when that'll be.
Hardware failures on vita?
Yep,always going to be faulty systems.I stared at this way too long trying to spot the loop. I is tired.
As Ami said, things break, especially when you ship a bunch of a new thing. How many of those things actually broke won't be clear for a while. No reason to think it's wide spread yet.
That sound was nasty, though.
Fixed the same issue on my 360 with the lid of a coke bottle
Why is it a disc slot? Aren't trays cheaper and more reliable?
This prob is worse than PS4 failure rate imo.
You're probably best to use MS warranty for them, they'll have them back probably within 2 weeks max. Maybe less than a week if they expedite the process to keep good standing with customers.
Tried 4 different games, same scenario. Discs are just fine, too - no scratches or anything before or after. Horrific.
I'll see what Gamestop says tomorrow. If there's some preorders not fulfilled within 24 hours I believe they may be able to exchange. Not that it guarantees anything - for all I know, their entire Bone shipment may have been like this. Will find out tomorrow.
It appears as though you're taking this worse than the people experiencing the issue.
Try and breathe, all console launches have some bad units.
Why is this some sort of competition of who's console is shittier or which issue is worse? The end result is that neither work for the end user and will need to be shipped away unless you are lucky enough to live close to a MS service center. How many people is that going to be an easy fix for?
When 2 consoles purchased by one person both have the issue its probably much more widespread. Also how is it any less repairable than the blod? Both are going to require internal components be replaced.
just knew he was gonna get banned for that
The Microsoft support response has been underwhelming so far, with the standard advise of clean the disc.

The fix is as simple as moving a gear. Nothing needs to be replaced. The biggest issue is not playing your console on day one and having it opened up.

Both the PS4 and the Xbone install the entire disk for the most part to the HDD anyway.Sarcasm aside, serious question... Wouldn't hard disk space be very horrible if MS went down that route?
This thread started off rational but we're headed off the rails. :/
If I can do this I will. Any guides or walkthroughs conceptually of what needs to be done? I don't want to void my warranties but...there's no way I'm worse than that dude on Twitch who tried to fix his PS4.
That's one way to encourage people to go all digital.
Do tell.

Yeah any blu ray movie should work
But honestly any disc should work at testing if you have a faulty one or not
What was it again that he foretold?I don't think it's chewing the disc. One of the videos has the disc ejected pretty easily, and it didn't appear to be damaged.
However, I do have to wonder if this is the great shitstorm that CBOAT foretold, or just another Blue Light Of Death overblown minor issue.
I had the same noise earlier today...simply took the disc out and tapped the xbox up and down lightly...works fine now..drive must be slightly out of line
suspect it may of got some rough love in transit
cant believe how quite the actual box is...even after 4 hours of bf you cant hear the fan
I haven't tried the old "bang on it" method but it won't hurt.

best solution at the moment would actually be to tilt the console so the laser cradle is going down hill or vigorously move the console as to get the laser cradle to move inwards. Either way, the problem is the teeth skipping due to poor mesh.
The root problem might very will just be a shipping/handling issue.

EDIT: No luck.
Stuff like this is why I have never bought a console on release and why I never will.
That sucks. I'd just say use your warranty and call MS support or something. I know it's super fun to a part of the launch zeitgeist but there's nothing now day one that you can't wait a week or two to have fun with. I don't think you should open up your console or anything. If anything, knowing MS, they'll probably hit you up with a few free months of Live or some MS points.
Couldn't get that to work, no matter which tilt I did. Bleh :/
