HD DVD Won't Load on my Xbox 360 HD DVD Player?

[game_fanatic]

Hey guys, I tried to load up The Bourne Ultimatum over the weekend in my HD DVD player and it wouldn't start the movie. The screen would fade as if trying to play it, then revert back to the dashboard. It was quite a shame since I was hoping to send it off on Goozex, but I clearly couldn't send a game that wouldn't load. Interestingly enough, the DVD portion of the disc played just fine. (It's one of those hybrid DVD/HD DVD discs.) Any thoughts?

I've had a HD DVD do that before and I think I just tried it a few more times and it finally worked. Did you ever get it to play for you?

I tried it maybe 5 times, and never got it working. Since the HD DVD player is at home and I'm at school, I can't keep trying, but here's hoping I can get it working once I go home again.

Don't those Xbox HD-DVD drives work on a PC? Maybe you can plug it into a computer and try.

AFAIK, the Xbox 360 HD DVD drives only work in Vista computers...hmmm, I believe my roommate has an Acer vista laptop, maybe I'll plug'r in and see if I can get it working. Thanks for the tips!

Nope, it does work on XP.
