So for the past say, three of four months my Xbox has been having major difficulty reading games. It's not even a year old, because it's a new one that came back when I sent in my red ringed Xbox not to long ago. Right now, the only game that works is Reach. Everything else I try either won't read at all, or the unreadable message shows up at the main menu. I've constantly tried cleaning off the disc with a wet cloth, but nothing works. Even my brand new Black Ops won't read, which breaks my heart. My warranty ran out, so I don't feel like paying $100 to send it in. But this is where my decision becomes hard. I could get a new Xbox for Christmas, but the stores only carry the Slims nowadays. So since my pro already has enough room on the HDD, I don't want to get a whole new box that only has 4 GB and a completely different HDD. So should I look at amazon, or Gamestop, and buy a used arcade? Or should I send in my Xbox and wait a week or two, when it'll be Christmas time by then and I could be playing with another Xbox that I bought?

I would get a 2010 Holiday Bundle. Even though it has 4GB HDD, you can use USBs and it comes with Alan Wake and Forza 3.

You can use your old harddrive on the new model but you have to break the shell.
edit: Here's a video on how to do it.

On some games, mine will play fine then at random will read "Disk unreadable". I installed the games I play most often onto my xbox and it doesn't have that problem. You just need a lot of memory.
