    Xbox wont install any game from disc or from demand anymore


    Ok, i have tried looking very hard for anything to explain this online with no results...and tbh its worrying me now.

    It started with trying to redownlod Dirt 3 from demand, just to see if it would play properly, as i had no reply for my issue with that game last time on here. It would basically say "cant download Dirt 3" then the xbox would turn off if i tried playing
    anything else with a single red dot on the power button (360 slim 4gig model with 120gig HDD). So there is a game i paid for, cant play, cant sell and cant get a refund for...which is fairly fustrating, to put it mildly.

    Then i got Thief 2014, which only gets to 1% install, then stays there for a bit then tells me my disc might be dirty and may need a wipe...this is a brand new game btw, the disc was flawless, but like fool i wiped and tried again many times with only more
    failure. I got rid of that game now.

    Now i have been getting exactly the same results with Far cry 3 and Just Cause 2 and any other disc i try. It isnt the discs or lack of memory. I have tried cache clearing, freeing up more space, unplugging everything, removing and putting back HDD...but
    still it does the same thing. I really have no idea what to do anymore. Is my xbox just dying or something? I cant understand why i cant find anything about this online at all.

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

    :)

    Fallout 3 Games On Demand version and Point Lookout/Broken Steel disc.

    If you have Fallout 3, whether it be from a disc or if you purchased it from games on demand, disc 2 from the GOTY edition with all the addons or the Broken Steel/Point Lookout disc will install onto your xbox 360 hard drive and be playable upon starting
    the game.

    Forgot to mention...apart from Dirt 3 (which isnt a disc), the other games play normally from the disc drive. So it cant be that. My guess is some memory or hardware malfunction at mo.

  6. Official Microsoft hard drive for the slim come in 250gb and 320gb sizes. Since there is no official 120gb hard drives available for the slim, one must assume that you either modified an old Xbox 360 hard drive or you purchased a 3rd party drive. Whichever
    it is, it sounds like your hard drive may be failing. 3rd party or modified hard drive means there is nothing we can really do here in the forums to help. If you have another hard drive you could always give that a try.

    Suggest you buy offical a hds as they would have less issues

    Yes we cannot help you make your unofficial hd to work

    And there could be a possible console ban as it is considered moving

    Couple of xbox one questions.

    [quote user="UnbakedBug6621"]Will games on demand release games the day they come out in retail?[/quote]Yes.
    And if I buy a physical copy, will I be able to download the game and play from the hard drive?
    All Xbox One games must be
    installed to the hard drive to be played, either from a digital download (games on demand) or from the Blu-ray disc they ship on.



    Games that are downloaded from the Marketplace can be played without any disc in the console, same as today. Games that are installed from Blu-ray require the Blu-ray disc in the drive to be played, same as today. Games that are installed from disc are not
    downloadable from the Marketplace in lieu of the disc, if that's what you're wondering. That went away when they removed the offline timer.



    The major difference between the 360 and Xbox One is that disc-based games must be installed. There's no running from disc any longer.
