    Games not reading well?


    I took my xbox 360 elite to a friends house with no problem, brought it back to my housr, plugged it in and now when i put a disc in the xbox it makes some weird scary noises and sometimes will successfully read it. Also when you eject the game, even after
    going to the home menu, it will come out spinning. Which i thought was harming the discs. I put skyrim in and itbdidnt scratch it up but it didnt read it. It has read fallout and modern warfare 3. Im afraid to try other games in fear that i wont be able to
    afford to replace them. The noises when the xbox is reading the diac varies and sometimes sounds worse than other times. Altho Once the xbox has read it and the game has started it will stay perfectly fine. Please help.

    :)

  2. Not reading games

    I got my Xbox One as a Christmas gift in 2016. I've now had it for about 7 months and it had no problems until about last week I tried playing Rainbow Six Siege and an error message popped up asking if I owned the game on disc etc. I thought id try another
    game so I tried Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and it still didn't work. I unplugged everything and waited about 30 minutes then plugged it back in and it turned on and it went to my home screen then just froze. It didn't show any games/apps that it usually shows.
    I did a hard reset on my Xbox and everything was fine for a couple of days except the occasional error message of no disc in. I held the power button for 10 seconds and then turned it back on and it would work again. This morning I turned it on and tried about
    5 different disc games and none worked. There's no scratches on the discs or anything. I did another hard reset and it went to my home screen and showed no games/apps again. I unplugged everything and waited again but my Xbox still wouldn't read any games
    at all. I've figured I should call Microsoft but I wanted to know if there was anything else that would help without me having to send my Xbox in for a few weeks. I've read everything and tried everything but nothing has helped.

    game not reading

    If the disc is unreadable due to scratches then there really isn't a thing you can do to make the console read it. I would suggest you check with your local shops and see if any of them offer a disc resurfacing. Game Stop is one
    such place and it usually runs around $3/disc.

    ok you my friend You, have made a grave mistake. You never let a disk run if it starts making a sound like take that out. Ok if its a white Xbox I assume it's not, take it apart and clean the laser of any dust if you know how or get Microsoft to fix it.
    If it's a black one its most likely one of these, it's the disk never use it again or clean it tell you can't. Then check if it's the actually the disk drive bye testing many games.

    Well after reading forums...

    People only moan about problems in the game because they have liked previous games in the series, I wouldnt be on here saying the game was a laggy mess if I hadn't played and enjoyed cod4,waw,mw2 or blops.

    And I have to say today i've been playing and the lag seems to have actually dissapeared, not sure if it was the update but I had some very good games.
