Whenever I insert a game disc in my xbox(not the 360) it makes a strange grunting/screeching noise before the game starts....is this normal?? has anyone else experienced this? Its almost as if my console is possessed >_<. My games do play fine 99.99999998% of the time since i got the laser replaced a while back. I have examined the discs afterward and they don't look damaged and they do play fine.
Sounds like what mine starting doing that just before it started freezing after 1-3 hours of playing (depending on the game).

If it does die, tell me where you went looking for a new one. My Xbox overheated and *something* must have melted cause it is now dead.

Advice: Get it checked out by an expert. If it gets worse, stop playing IMMEDIATELY.

That's what went wrong with the RROD. It wasn't meant to happen until well into the next gen but they fucked up the timers.

It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Not really.
