One of my oxm demo's mess's up alot. One time i put it in. I seen a completely new start up sequence, then it said something like this in at least four different languages: "This is a xbox game disc, please insert a disc" WTF?
ALso i'm not sure if i'm going to resubcribe to OXM. Is there anyother maginzine with demo discs?

Nope - not for Xbox, anyway. That is a pretty bizarre error. They should have a phone number or website you can go to and tell them that there's a problem with your disk, and they'll send you a good one. I'm pretty sure it's free.

That is weird. Im not sure I will re-subscribe either because im on my last issue now and they have been sending me things saying you better hurry for like 8 months now lol. I hate how they are graphic freaks and give ****ty scores to the games they dont like also.

Umm, the reason that is happening to you is perhaps because you're putting the disc in a DVD player? To use the demo discs ya gotta use your Xbox, sorry ;)
I just tried the new demo dics in my DVD player, same thing happened :P

Was it complete with a unique xbox starting?
No it wasn't in my DVD player. I think it only happened twice. Very much unlike the dirty disk error:mad: :mad:

yeah the OXM disks have alot of problems. Many times the xbox has a hard time reading them and it freezes briefly during games. The same thing happens with PC Gamer demo disks which are owned by the same company.

Do you think it should have multiple opions like in nintendo power? (i miss getting that)
I've actually never had any problems with my demo disks....yet...heh but I don't play them half the time. Heh I've never heard of your error Shnag, that is kind of weird.
