Hey guys,

I just got hold of a 360 plus Madden 08 - everything seemed fine until I tried to actually play a full game in franchise mode (I'd done lots of the practice bits) After the first play of a game, the thing crashes and says "disk is unreadable"

Both XBox and game are brand new - I've cleaned the disc but no luck.

Is my disk at fault or (i hope not) the console itself ?

Its more then likely your disk. Sometimes brand new games with do that. You'll need to go back and exchange it.
