My X1 won't play games or DVDs please help

My new 360 slim downloaded this New dashboard update and since won't play any new games ?!?!? It will play DVDs and older games even Music CDs but not new games like Skyrim and GOW3 Help?!?!?!

Thank you

The xbox 360 i have will read and play any DVD but it will not play any games. I've downloaded the updates and installed them successfully. No games working at all, won't read the game disc and always switches back to play DVD.

Can you help?

[quote user="ngocphi"]buying a ps3 won't help[/quote]It won't help him play 360 games, but the PS3 doesn't beat the crap out of its optical drive like a 360 does to its DVD drive.

its normal wear and tear

There's nothing "normal" about running
games from the 360's DVD drive. There is no other consumer electronics device that runs a DVD drive at 12x for sustained periods of time.



The only way to extend the life of a 360 DVD drive is to install all games to HDD or USB MU prior to playing.

Hi,

You've said you've tried blu-ray discs and Xbox One discs but have you tried DVD discs?

Xbox 360 games are on DVD and my guess is that DVD won't play either.

The reason why they won't play is that DVD diode for reading these discs has failed. Other discs work because that laser diode is still working.

Try a DVD disc. If it does not work you'll need a repair.

Ok just to update you guys.

My uk xbox wont play usa standard def region 1 dvds

It will also not play usa blu ray region A dvds

It will play region free blu rays and region B blu rays and region 2 standard def dvds.

So its basically same as a normal uk blu ray player.

I thought there was a rumour that the x1 was region free blu ray. Unless it means the games are region free and playable on any x1

Either way im happy coz ill only be using it as a games console
