Why won't Halo 3 play on my XBOX 360?

[?ãub?ey?]

Ok my b/f just bought an Xbox 360 (the standard console the white one,NOt the 360 arcade or black super geeked out one) He went to blockbuster and rented Halo 3 he puts it in right and the game system says "this game must be played on an xbox 360 console" so he thinks its just the game so he goes back to blckbuster and gets a new Halo 3 CD and its saying the same thing WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
He is not trying to play online and other games will work just not Halo3

If you can try asking on Xbox.com it has more info. I wouldent know because it hasnt happened to me. Maybe youre putting the disc in wrong? Im kind of confused..

Well Microsoft has released many versions of the 360. What I think the problem is, is that your BoyFriend bought a 360 CORE Edition which has no HardDrive. To play Halo 3 you must have a hard drive to save game variants and maps so I think thats the problem. (If he does'nt has a HDD device on the top of the console than thats a core) If its a core see if you can exchange it under warranty.

Hope this helps

Hmmm...We have a regular x box 360, the white one and my husband and I play Halo 3 all the time..actually he is on it right now. If he can play other games I am not sure other than is he trying to play on line without a membership or just play it regularly? I would maybe call the # given to you in the manual of the 360 and ask them. I have never heard of this before. Good luck.

it might not recognize the game.. sometimes it will do that i think
