Disk drive broken: any way to play games I've already downloaded?

EG 3000 · Feb 4, 2017

My Xbox one disk drive just stopped working and I can no longer play any of the games that I've purchased on disk and downloaded. I don't want to pay to repair the drive, since I'd rather wait for the new console. Is there anyway to get permission to play
games I've already purchased?

:)

How do I know my game is running from my flash drive?

I've formatted my flash drive and installed my game to it. When I insert the disk and select to play that game I don't seem to see any significant decrease in load time. If I remove the disk during the game I gert a message to insert the disk. Does the
game disk need to stay in the drive while playing from the flash drive?

Thanks for any advice!

The only way would be to purchase them as digital copies.

I've installed the installation disk to my Xbox 360 HDD and running the game from the disk. It's very noisy and apparently the performance is much better if you install the "Play" disk to a USB Flash Drive.

I've just bought a compatible 8GB USB Flash drive and followed the instructions through www.xbox.com/storage. The Xbox 360 says it's compatible with no issues.

Where do I get the option to install the "Play" disk to the USB Flash Drive?

I've tried deleting everything off the HDD and installing again from scratch with no luck. Has anybody already done this and had any luck with it that they could share?

Rent the same game download it to your xbox and you may play the broken disk as long as it's still a disk, such as a perfect circle.

Um Its not my disks that won't read. Its my downloaded games that won't play, and any game that is installed. My downloaded games and installed games register as unreadable disk. Aren't they supposed to read off of the hard drive.

I've never heard of jtagged consoles breaking non jtagged consoles disk drives. I have heard of disk drives breaking from wear and tear.....
