Microsoft has confirmed it will replace consoles of customers affected by the switch to an enhanced disc format
Xbox 360 replacements were being offered to a "very small number" of customers affected by the incoming disc format.
"Following a recent update to our system software, we have become aware of an issue that is preventing a very small number of Xbox 360 owners from playing retail game discs," a Microsoft spokesperson told NowGamer.
“Any Xbox 360 owners receiving this error are encouraged to contact us”
"This issue manifests itself a as a unique “disc unreadable” or “disc unsupported” error on the screen. We are also able to detect this issue over Xbox LIVE and are proactively reaching out to customers that may be impacted to replace their console. Any Xbox 360 owners receiving this error are encouraged to contact us at www.xbox.com/support/contact so we can verify if the console has been impacted."
There you have it. A small minority of gamers could be in for a shiny new upgrade very soon indeed - the original email states that the replacement console is a 250GB Xbox 360 S. If you don't get an email from Microsoft, you'll probably have to wait until the discs are widely used for the next wave of 360 games.
A firmware update to support the new format begins rolling out tomorrow.
