    Have I bought a counterfeit game disc?


    With both my boys packed off to University, the house was suddenly devoid of any gaming kit, so I picked up an Xbox One for peanuts for the occasional blast of COD, FIFA etc. Needed a deep clean but works fine, playing a couple of downloaded games with
    no issues. However the copy of Destiny I bought on eBay will not load. Bluray & DVD movies play ok. The disc has no scratches or marks & seems to have all the relevant holograms etc. On closer inspection, though, the hologram of ‘XBOX ONE’ that’s repeated
    four times around the inner ring of the disc has an oddity - the letter ‘N’ in the word ‘ONE’ is back to front. Is this normal, or have I been sold a dud? Bit of a moot point, as I only paid a couple of quid, but I’m just curious why someone would go to all
    the trouble of printing discs with holograms with a deliberate typo!! Cheers

    :)

    Rockstar Threatens GTAV:O Cheaters With Penalties and Bans

    No, I did. I just think it's funny that they're banning people who got 'counterfeit' money in GTAV O. It's like all the money in the game is counterfeit!

    DVD Playback glitch

    Discs are discs...whether or not they're pirated is irrelevant. Test the DVD in another DVD playback device, such as a PC or a laptop. If the issuer persists, then it could be the DVD that's faulty. Generally counterfeit DVDs don't have holographic branding
    on them. It could also be a problem with the DVD itself. Nothing on the Xbox's end, if your games are reading properly.

    How to recognize an original disc?

    OK, can we at least get the rumors out of the way. Lets say I observe for signs and I still get duped and I put a counterfeit disc in the box. It wont work, obviously, but what other consequences can I have?

    San Andreas issues.

    I had tried downloading this game on about 2 different hard drives one external 120gb on a Xbox 360 arcade and on 320gb on the Xbox 360 slim. Both were bought at best buy. Though I have heard about counterfeit HDDs I don't believe I have one.

    Fable download on xbl problem. (Original xbox games Disc/Downloads)

    Unfortunately those counterfeit drives look almost identical to the real thing. The easiest way to tell would be to try a friend's store-bought drive on your console, to see if the game works then. I suggest contacting the vendor for a refund.
