    New games wont read on original white xbox 360


    New games such as COD: Ghosts and GTA V wont read on my Xbox, but everything else can. It is about 6 years old. I have checked the disks but none of them have any scratches or dirt. I have been able to read Ghosts before, but it takes about 30 minutes to
    read. Is it because the system is to old, or is there is to much data to read on the disk for it to handle?

    :)

    My xbox...

    Hey!

    I'm extremely confused. My xbox refuses to read ANY GAME Discs, yet I tried DVD discs and they work fine...

    So? why won't my xbox read my game discs, I recently bought COD: GHOSTS and it won't even read that and it's brand new!!

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    EDIT : i'm using the white original Xbox 360.

  5. 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.

    Xbox 360 (Original, White) Disc Read Problems

    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.

    Xbox 360 (Original, White) Disc Read Problems

    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. :)
