  1. Why can’t I get to game (disc) without purchasing Xbox Live


    my son got over watch … game is loaded but when you “press a to play” it asks if you want to purchase Xbox Live … when “no thanks” is selected it starts the chain all over again.

    Do I have to buy Xbox Live to play a game he owns on disc?

    Any ideas?

    We’ve tried cleaning the disc … we’ve restarted the machine.

    Thanks in advance from a very non gamer Mom

    :)

    Unreadable disc half way through startup

    Hey there G3n3ral219! I can't promise that there's going to be a way to get it behaving for free, but our best bet will be here: Xbox 360 Can’t Read Disc | Xbox
    Can’t Read Disc
    . If there's a way to get it behaving without requiring a repair, it'll be in that guide. Please let us know how it goes!

    I can’t log onto Xbox Live when I try to play MW2 on my Xbox One. I have bought and downloaded the game from the Store. I get error code 80151904.

    Overwatch is an online only game. Gold is required to play online so he would need a gold susbcription in order to play.

    Hi!

    Yes, Overwatch requires a Gold subscription to play, as the

    page
    says: "Requires Xbox Live Gold Sold Separately."

    XBox1 playing discs, not online

    Don’t need to sign in anymore but still can’t play Reach without having to go to the xbox store. Why? It’s on my MCC disc.

    Hi, no you do not have to download the game again. Just pay for the game, and you should be able to play it without the disc.
