I've never heard of a 360 console not working until it hits the right temperature. I want to say that it is most likely a laser/dvd drive issue. But I'm not there to mess with it and see if that is what is causing the issue though. Media that you use is fine, so that wouldn't be it.

How long have you had the console (more specifically, how long have you had the laser/drive in your 360)?
