Microsoft play down ODST disc 'issues'

Problems are not widespread

Speaking to UK website Eurogamer.net, Microsoft have this week said that anecdotal complaints regarding disc issues related to new release Halo 3: ODST are not widespread.

"We are aware of a very small number of people who are reporting they can't play the game," the website were told.

"We are looking into it, but at this point it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue."

Apparently, the disc issues in question can render the singleplayer game unplayable, although multiplayer modes are reportedly all fine. There has been some conjecture also that this issue only impacts older model Elite Xbox 360s.
