New games wont read on original white xbox 360

There are a few possibilities here.

1. Your laser is wearing out due to age and use--quite normal behavior for lasers on game systems--and as a result your optical drive needs servicing.
   
2. Xbox created a new disc format in 2009/2010 that allowed for greater compression resulting in an approximate 1 gigabyte worth of additional data being stored. A lot of games use this format now but a fractionally small percentage of the original SKU systems
   proved to have errors with it. There was a replacement program in effect but it ended years ago. If somehow you have not played a game yet that uses this format then it could be the case which would require the system to be sent in for service.
   

We are having this same issue! First it was his new GTA V game that he received for Christmas and just last night it's doing the same thing to his NBA live that he has played many times before.. Very frustrating!

hi, good day to you. i indeed use original dvd and original purchased xbox 360 disc as well, but it just wont read it anymore,

the best part, i use to play the exact game on my xbox before this and now it just wont load it anymore. example like battlefield bad company which i played and completed the mission previously with the same console, now when i try play the game again ,
it just wont read the disc anymore.

this goes to all my xbox 360 disc which is original and all my movies too.

i purchased original lord of the ring movies dvd set and it doesnt play it too..

Hey again, HereChief931

Thanks for checking out that guide. The console may turn out to need repair, but before we head down that path we recommend testing the non-working discs in another console. Do they work there? If not, those discs are the issue & they should be replaced. If
they do work, we recommend trying them on your console with the hard drive removed. Any change? Next we would try changing the console orientation (while it's off!) from vertical to horizontal or back.

If none of these options work, a repair will get you back to fully functional ASAP. Let us know how it goes, we'll be here for any questions.

Yes all of my discs work on my other console, but still no change with the hard drive removed. I did try the console on its side... It would read but then say that it was un-readable right away. I guess it just needs a repair. Thanks for the help.
