My xbox series X reads xbox 360 games as blurays

DRAMATRON · Sep 18, 2021

I have an XSX and i have a disc for the game The Orange Box for Xbox 360 which should be backwards compatible. When i put this disc into the Xbox series X it immedieately opens the Blu-Ray app and it says that i have to put the disc into an xbox 360.

What should i do?

Why in heaven's name would you stick a blurays disk into a DVD drive ?

Xbox 360 is backwards compatible not forward compatible

Xbox 360 hasn't had any new games in over a decade

You would have to get a xbox series x

You do know that xbox one version gets a dual entitlement for series x and s right ?

Hi,

Do you have any other Xbox 360 discs to try? If you don't, I suggest you check your console can read DVD discs. To test, just try playing any DVD movie disc (not a Blu-ray disc). If the DVD works fine, then the issue isn't with your console, but rather the disc itself is dirty or damaged.

If DVD's play fine, check the disc for finger marks and scratches and try cleaning it with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

If the game is dirty or otherwise damaged, the console won't be able to read the lead track on the disc that tells your console what the disc is, hence why it's opening the Blu-ray/DVD app.

Well first there is no series s with a bluray drive

Xbox one s does and that isn't a series s

Xbox one games are compatible with xbox one games whenever it is one x or s

Series consoles are just xbox series NOT one s or x

They labeled series consoles that way for a reason to differentiate xbox one games from series games

I do know about the gaming part. I was asking the question if the Xbox Series X could have the Dolby Vision added into the BluRay app so, that 4K BluRay movies can enjoy Dolby Vision as well.

Any external drive wouldnt work

One it needs to be the same speed as xbox x series

A dvd usb drive wont read bluray disks

And at the expense of a bluray reader plus the additional hardware you might as well buy an x series

Why would you buy something you dont need if you need to read disks

There is huge difference between x and s

And S ISNT DESIGNED FOR DISKS

And the software would refuse it

3 the s series downloads have lower file sizes since its less capable

And yes the servera detect this

So you dont need 4k files

You do realize you only have a 512gig ssd in the s series right? And thr cpu and gpu arent the same aa the x series because of the limited hardware in the s seriea the downloads are smaller

If you want disks buy the right product
