Microsoft appears to have made an epic stuff-up in the implementation of some new security measures earlier this week. Through a silent Xbox LIVE update that required no interaction on the part of the user, Microsoft updated the security challenge tables that catch out pirated discs. While this is good in the fight against piracy, once again legitimate users are experiencing issues.Over on the official Xbox forums, there have been numerous reports of unsupported disc or dirty disc issues (specifically with Modern Warfare 3) due to this silent update, even with legitimate store-bought copies of the game:DCxKILLINSPREEx: Xbox had a hidden update on Wednesday to help combat pirates or something. This is affecting my legitimate Modern Warfare 3 though because it can't read it. Something needs to be done.EBomb360: Just picked up my 4th copy, and this time, my Machine won't even recognize the disc. Meanwhile, I slide Gears of War 3 in and it works just fine. Somebody screwed up here, fix it.Digitaljim: My Xbox DO NOT RUN ONLY MW3, my other games run with no problem (tested 20 until today), when try to read the disc some times says Error Reading Disc Code: 03-80-00 or Disc Not Recoignized. My copy of MW3 was exchanged on the store and again my Xbox can´t read the game, tested the disc on a friend Xbox and it run with no problems, tried the copy of my friend on my Xbox and the same errors again. Tried 3 discs and my Xbox can´t read them. What's going on Microsoft????!!!!!!According to Xbox hacker C4eva, this is due to a file called “dae.bin” being silently updated across all Xbox LIVE connected consoles. The file, which is stored in the NAND and inaccessible to end-users, contains a set of anti-piracy verification challenges that check a certain security sector on the Xbox game disc.

Looks like who ever booted MW3 will be getting console banned + 1600 MSP + 3 Moths XBL + Unban? GG M$.

[Doctor Doom]

I think M$ would be stupid to pull the trigger on BANS right now with legit xbox consoles having the same problem. Question is can they fix what they messed up?

[drackwolven]

This will give the non legit people some time...

Well your obviously not affected then.

Mine runs fine also.

[Splinter Twin]

I work at gamestop, we've had about 15-25 people swapping their discs out over and over, and eventually giving up because it would not play. Out of the 2800 copies we sold release night, that's a lot of people to be coming back with issues. Meaning a large percentage of the people on live are experiencing it.

[Godless]

Wow. Mines seems to work just fine as well. But, this is MS for you. They always **** up.

[killerman12]
