well I opened the disc tray on one of many rrod boxes I have sent back...low and behold they have left one of thier test discs inside.

check it out

its runs 1 level of PGR race all NSX cars going very fast, infact it makes the system lag seems to push it beyond its capabilites.

most of the time the test hangs the machine ive tried it on 3 seperate systems the only one it did 4 laps on was a system connected to a lan cable must be doing some sort of network test.

If it's pushing the hardware as tough as you say it is, you could inadvertantly break other people's consoles which don't cool the GPU effectively. Posting it up could do more harm than good.

It would however be interesting to see what's on the disc itself tho .....

i want a test disc. no fair. i wonder... while playing, did your fans go from 5-12v? record a clip and youtube it!

[Chancer]

Whilst this interesting and quite amusing that they left it in the box. the disc is confidential material.
It is not your fault that you have it but do not attempt to offer to distribute copies via XS in any way.

[ILLusions0fGrander]

that is pretty cool.

i would be scared to toss it in my 360 though for fear of some kind of meltdown.

[DaShiZNiT]

very, very interesting.....

just WoW

  lol... i just started working for microsoft about a month ago.....that's one of our media/network test discs... used for media test after media repair, also used for network checks... also after repair...

and yes it will run your systen to the further most of it's capabilities... long story short the disk is designed to run a media and network test while making the consol run extra fast in order to properly simulate the constant and consistant use of the xbox 360...

they were testing if your media and network connects would work under the conditions and heat of an xbox 360 that was being used for about 4-6 hours straight...

just to make sure it wouldn't crap out on you again after a few hours of play time... makes sense...

Judging by your previous posts -- one begging for tutorials with pictures on how to solder LEDs and fans to your 360, while in another you claim you're an Electrician (and those posts being in the past 2-3 months) -- it sounds more than a little suspect that you work in the repair division. Which repair center branch is it that you believe you work at? That's something you can answer without compromising any anonymity, and can help validate your claim.

In any case, for some real information that isn't just surmised from the disc's title, this particular Ping disc contains a special build of PGR, similar to that which appears on the XStress retail media disc. This one, however, uploads minidumps to an internal Microsoft ticket tracking system, which not only records service and diagnostic information, but also obviously timestamp and IP address. As such, anyone that may come across such a disc would be well advised to disable internet connectivity to the 360 prior to launching the disc.

In all honesty, I should hold myself back from replying to this and not play into your bid for attention, but I can't help chuckling that this is spot-on the exact kind of response I expected.

I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that the skillsets and experience level required by MS for employees of the repair facilities are far beyond what you've described of yourself. There's university grads fighting for some of those positions. They simply would not hire someone without at least 2-3 years experience in electronics and repair, and most definitely do not "train-as-you-go" as you appear to be saying.

You couldn't provide any real details concerning the disc aside from what every other person would naturally surmise from its title, so I think you've made it more than clear as to what you're not. I'd like if we could re-focus and make this thread less about you, and more about the original topic. If you have additional info about the disc beyond what I explained, I'm sure everyone would love to hear it.

Nothing to prove, or in truth, proof of nothing?

LOL
If Microsoft would actually employ people like him this would at least explain why the 360 is such a piece of crap
