Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite Console Logo

360 cannot read Resident Evil 5 games...two different ones!

Hello, we bought an Xbox 360 today along with the game Resident Evil 5. Problem was, the 360 said the game was unreadable. So we went to another town and bought the same game and decided to try it again. It STILL could not read it. We believe it's the console having problems...could it be? We bought the 360 from Walmart, and both RE5 games are from Walmart but one is from a different Walmart out of town. Help please? And thank you!

    Well, we were thinking about just exchanging the one we bought for a new 360 Elite. We believe it's the console having problems, not the game.

    Yes, the xbox is brand new from walmart. We have no idea how to mod it and whatnot. It's straight fresh out of the box from Walmart.

It's more than likely the DVD drive. Try a different game or 2 to be certain. If you are still getting that issue try running a CD based cleaner a few times. If that doesn't solve your issues contact Microsoft as a recently purchased console should be fully under warranty.

I downloaded resident evil 5 for xbox 360 trough xbox live but i cant play it with my other accounts

That is correct, what you download on one Xbox live account is only available on that live account. You cannot swap downloaded content between accounts. That is the whole point of them to stop people game sharing across different accounts.

Sorry but that's just how Microsoft want it.

Resident Evil 5 won't recognize my account

Try logging fully onto XBL it might need tor recover your account. If not hopefully you will not need to rebeat the game. Try restarting your xbox reloading the game, etc. Any memory cards? is the game disk still alright? please get back to me with more info. GL

Resident Evil 5 for XBox 360 NOT WORKING!!!

Good afternoon!

With most mass production games, there is always a chance you will have a defective game. I would take it back to the store, explain the problem, and exchange it for a new one.

BTW: Game is pretty good.

Hope this helps!

Resident Evil 5 freezing on loading screen

I don't know if the disks have a flaw but if you tried two brand new games both with freezes is sounds like it's your 360.
