xbox one marketplace

I notice on the xbox marketplace you can see the description on a game. Sometimes there is more info that doesn't fit to the box, so there is a little arrow to state there is more to read. My question is how to scroll down to read all of the info? It seems
any button I press does not give me the option to read more in the box. Is there something I am doing wrong. Thanks.

 

Disc Read Error has me stumped.

try installing the game directly into your xbox

hover over the icon of the game on dashboard then press view info then install

then launch the game, if still not work reply
