    Xbox 360 wont play games (Says play DVD instead)

    So I had an xbox with a broken disc drive. I decided to buy one that was red ringed and try to put that disc drive into mine. The one I bought I am sure the Disc drive works, it is only 2 red rings so it starts up, plays the game then overheats. So i took
    this disc drive and put it in mine with the bad disc drive. It recognizes the drive but all it says is "Play DVD" even though it is a game.. The game is real, the xbox is not modded, what could be wrong?? Ive tried other games and no hope. It is a bare bones
    xbox no hard drive. Any ideas?

    xbox optical drive works inconsistently

    Sometimes when I put in a new game or movie it wont recognize the disc. I usually have to do a full restart of the system sometimes several times to get it to work. Would this be a hardware issue or a software issue? Once it does recognize the disc it
    will always recognize the disc as long as I dont take it out of the xbox even if I turn it off then back on. How long is the warranty on the xbox one? I got it on day one.

  5. I most definitely have done everything short of factory reset.

    Its only new games and its not just this disc, its ANY new to the console game

    Ive asked many users with similar issues if theyve seen this happen to them but none of them have had this

    particular issue, NO ERROR NO NOISE NO RECOGNITION OF DISC

    Even the internet seems to have had similar, but not exactly the same symptoms.

    Ive had CODBO3 since very early on and I play it everyday and no issue with the other 2 games ive had since day one. The disc works on another console as ive tested this.

    Im wondering if xbox will cover a repair but its an early edition console, Day one I believe.

    Hey there NecroSaint420,

    Sorry to hear about the disc drive troubles. It looks like M3tal Daz3 gave you some good starting steps. I see you said you have not attempted to factory restore your Xbox One Console yet. At this point, that is the next best step to try in the troubleshooting
    process. You can find exact steps on how to do that in our
    Factory Restore your Xbox One
    page. Please note that there are two options: 'Reset and remove everything' and 'Reset and keep my games & apps'. If keeping your games and apps does not work, please try a full reset.

    If neither of those solutions help, your Xbox One console might be in need of repairs. That process can be initiated through the
    Online Service Center.

    Keep us posted and let us know if you have any other questions.

    Unrecognized Disc

    For it to play an installed game it must recognize the disc in the drive and the problem is it doesn't even do that.

    A disc polish repair is my only hope... :S

    Getting this game in weeks some questions

    The install disc must be installed. The play disc can be played from disc, installed to a USB drive, or installed to hard drive as well. If you install it to the hard drive, you'll notice a lot of texture and small object pop-in which doesn't make the game
    unplayable but it may make it less enjoyable.

    I installed the play disc to a Sansa Cruzer Fit 16GB USB drive, the read speed isn't the greatest but it's better than installing the disc to hard drive and this USB drive hasn't failed to recognize for me, with every other USB drive I've tried in the 360
    S it will occasionally fail to recognize and I'll have to reconfigure the drive and reinstall the data to it. The 360's dvd drive isn't the best and you should take every opportunity you can to avoid putting heavy use on it.
