Series X disc drive question

TylerG5 · Apr 22, 2022

My first time posting here so apologies if this is the wrong forums. Few days ago i gave away 19 blueray dvds and before i made sure each individual disc worked as they are old. Now im mainly a pc player but as the series x is my only blueray player would the constant inserting/ejecting of the 19 bluerays add wear to the drive?

It actually does. I got the Series X this holiday at $349, and the same disc is working perfectly. I have determined that the Xbox One X disc drive is trying to read Cross Gen discs differently than Xbox One discs. The disc drive on the Series X doesn’t have this issue. You might need a new disc or you might need to send your Series X for maintenance.

series x has disc drive and the series s does not

smart delivery is so it downloads the content for the specific console

hence why the game case has series x and xbox one advertised on it. the disc can be used in series x and xbox one consoles, the series s does not have a drive therefore requires digital purchase.

Are you sure? I just figured with that many inserts/ejects something would come loose etc. i dont know much about discdrives i just figured constant use wears the laser/disc loader down.

I'm pretty sure, TylerG5.

As a console gamer, I've inserted and ejected discs hundreds of times across my Xbox consoles (Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and Xbox Series X), and to this day, I've never had any issues with them.

Constantly inserting and ejecting discs is considered normal usage for a console, so it should have no impact on the state of your console's disc drive.

Hi, TylerG5!

Inserting and ejecting your blu-rays should have no impact on the state of your console's disc drive, even if it was done in a short amount of time.
