    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.

    Xbox Won't Read Certain Game Discs

    Hey there, just for clarification, did you buy a new dvd drive and install it yourself or a new console altogether?

    If you bought a new DVD drive then I doubt it's an Xbox product, which is most likely why it's having issues.

    If you bought another console from Ebay, is it new or used? What model is it? If it's used then there's a huge chance that it has the same issue as the one you replaced.

    Some DVD drives can not read Microsoft signed disks. Even if it is a Xbox product, it's reader may be damaged or dirty. In the end game you should never open your console, or repair/replace any components inside the console by yourself it should be left
    to the professional technicians at Microsoft.

    Xbox One S is not playing certain DVDs

    I take it Blu-Ray disc movies are working okay? Have you tried many of the ones you own? Games are detected?

    Bear in mind that the Xbox One S, One X and the current Series X actually have two lasers, one for reading DVD discs (including Xbox 360 discs) and one for reading Blu-Ray discs, which also includes Xbox games as they are also on BD-Disc.

    If the DVD laser is giving out, it won't read certain DVD discs, and this is likely the reason for the issues you are experiencing. This is also why Blu-Rays and Xbox One games are not effected. There is nothing wrong with your DVD's, it's the console's optical drive that is faulty.

    Xbox not reading certain discs

    Well you could change the startup choice by choosing to start with the disc in tray option under settings, startup and make your choice from there. This would mean whatever disc is in the tray would boot right into that game when the console is powered on.
    As far as failures while playing the disc, it could be a few things. Make sure the disc is clean and scratch free. Try blowing into the open DVD drive to ensure its not dust collecting on the lens of the laser. Next you could always try to copy the disc onto
    your hdd. Failing that, overall if the fixes don't work it sounds like the disc drive is going out. Which means you can keep trying to copy your games onto your hdd, or start a repair order at www.xbox.com/support. Sounds like since your elite is an earlier
    model your warranty is probably not valid any longer. You can get an out of warranty repair for a fee of $119.99 or just a newer S series starting at MSRP $199.99 + tax for a 4gb model and $299.99 + tax for the 250gb model. Good luck .

    Xbox not reading certain discs

    I guess so, I have tried everything except booting the disc from start, I don't think I'll be continuing playing console games after this, I don't have the time, money or effort to continue. anyhoot, been fun Xbox.

    dvd drive on slim loud?

    It sounds like something is wrong with the disc drive reading certain games. Some games are encoded differently. Try cleaning the disc drive. It may improve the disc reading.

    Skyrim on games on demand?

    The extra gigabyte on the new disc makes it difficult for certain xboxs to read new games. That really sucks.
