  1. Xbox one s wont read xbox 360 discs


    In my house we have 2 xboxs the exact same, an xbox one s. But mine has read every game i put in except left 4 dead 2, the deadpool game, black ops 1, and marvels ultimate alliance. And on the other one, my younger brothers, they all work as if they are brand new. The left 4 dead 2 disc has a couple scratches on it but one reads it and the other doesnt. Any ideas?

    Xbox one Horrible customer service experience

    5 xbox ones & about 11 xbox 360's over the years.

    Xbox ones were all disc reading issues,xbox 360's were different things.Only ever got the red ring once though.

    Xbox next generation console no disk drive

    That is correct! The next generation of Xbox One S wont feature a disc drive. While other Xbox One S with disc drives will be available.

    Xbox won't read 360 games??

    Here are a few troubleshooters you may want to look through. the most common reason and Xbox 360 won't read a disc is if the optical lens inside the disc tray area that actually reads the discs is dirty. But these should help any ways.

    The best way to get that fixed if that is the issue, would be to either clean the disc itself with a soft cloth to make it easier to read or to take the console to a local electronics hobby store like a GameStop to get it cleaned up. Microsoft doesn't do
    servicing for Xbox 360's anymore and its really advised to not try and repair/clean up a console yourself.

    HELP ME PLEASE! XBOX ONE BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY NOT WORKING AT ALL?!?!?!!?!?!?

    Hi,

    It's not the discs it's your console. If your console can not read DVD movies then it won't read Xbox 360 games either. DVD movie discs use the same type of discs that 360 games use (DVD-9).

    The Xbox One has two lasers to read discs. One for Blu-rays - which Xbox One discs games are made of - and one for reading DVD's and Xbox 360 games.

    Can't install red dead redemption 1

    Hi,

    Do other BC Xbox 360 game discs work on your Xbox One? For the Xbox One to recognise the game and download it from Live it must:

    • Be able to read the disc. Check if the disc is dirty or damaged
    • Have a working Optical drive capable of reading Xbox 360 discs. Try other BC discs or test a DVD movie.

    The Xbox One has two diodes for reading discs in the optical Blu-ray Drive. A red laser is used to read Xbox 360 and DVD movies and a blue laser to read Xbox One games and Blu-ray movies. If the diode for reading DVD's is faulty, BC Xbox 360 discs won't
    work.
