    Xbox One not reading 360 discs , potential gaslighting?


    Tried to play Fallout NV, loaded up the disc and nothing happened, tried to open the game manually from the library, said I needed to purchase the game, it's downloaded and I play it again every year, deleted the game, attempted to reinstall but the console wouldn't load the disc, so I tried another 360 game I know is backwards compatible, not a buzz from the console, so I threw in an Xbox one game, and it worked so I switched back to Fallout and nothing, tried a DVD and nothing, reset the 360 cache while typing and now it loads, posting anyway cuz I was low-key getting gaslit at 2am by a 13 year old console

    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.

    Xbox One Discs Sometimes Won't Read - Repeatable scenario!

    I'm having this problem too, but only with Xbox 360 discs, Xbox One discs are read instantly, but I have to keep ejecting the 360 discs and reinserting them about 20 times before they read, it's getting very annoying now

    Xbox 360 Slim won't read two specific games

    It may potentially being the console causing the problem. My brother who owns an original Xbox 360 recently lent me Resident Evil 6 and I played it with no problems, but when I gave it back to him (and it was in mint condition still) his console would not
    read the disc, and when I tried to play it on mine again, it wouldn't read the disc.

    Backwards compatibility

    Nope, nothing. It just sits there and does absolutely nothing at all. Every xbox one disc reads absolutely fine, but every single 360 disc will not read, or even attempt to read.........
