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.
