To play this disk, put it in a Xbox 360 console
Update – Sunday 22 April 2007
Since this post is up, i have so many incoming searches to it. So many people are having the same problem – To play this disk, put it into a .
The truth is, that this can only be fixed by Microsoft ….( or by someone who has experience in replacing players or other components on 360).
You can keep pushing that game in and out for a while, but eventually, you’ll have enough of it and the player won’t play your disks at all.
There’s nothing you can do about your xbox; there’s no fix for that, except sending it to Microsoft and have the player of your 360 replaced.
Update :
I tried absolutely everything to make my Xbox 360 work, but no result. Only pushing the game in and out for about 30 times could make it go, but that’s not what i want for the money i paid.
The only ones that can fix it, are the people from Microsoft and yesterday the UPS came and picked up my Xbox 360.
I tracked it down and it is already in Germany but it can take up to two weeks till i will have it back.
Grrrr!
This is what i get for a while now on my Xbox 360 when trying to play my games.
I am going to have a blackout because of it. You know why? Because this is my THIRD damn Xbox 360 that breaks since April 2006.
First one broke down after 3 weeks from the date i bought it. Then Microsoft sent me another one…older version of course (2005 series) and it broke down 2 weeks after i received it.
Both were freezing.
Now, when i got the third one and i saw how smooth was working, i was so happy and hopped that it will last.
It did last for about half a year and now the dvd drive won’t recognize the games i put in.
To play this disk, put it into a Xbox 360 console.
It is on the damn Xbox console!
I tried all the games and i can’t play any of them.
I even checked the clock settings, cleared the cache, changed the pal settings. Nothing!
One broken shouldn’t be a problem, and it shouldn’t be a problem at all if it costs 10 euro, but it costs 399 euro and for some people it’s lot of money…. and that’s what we get for some much money; a Xbox 360 with freaking bad hardware.
The nasty part is that i can’t bring it back to the shop, because Microsoft ordered them not to take back the consoles and instead the customer has to deal directly with Microsoft itself.
What kind of crap is that?
Last time we had to deal with Microsoft Belgium it was a mess. Speaking with few different people from the tech support …they got the details wrong, they didn’t pay attention and it took few phone calls until we got them to send someone and pick the beast out.
No! I am not a happy customer and when i buy a product that costs so much, i want it to work as it it supposed to and to be able to fix my problems with the shop from where i got it.
Crap!!!

I had the same exact problem, so heres what i did. I opened up my old (rrod) Xbox 360 extracted the disk drive player, put it in my Xbox with the problem, and it gives me another error… after tinkering for many minutes, I took out the ATA cable, replaced it with the one from my dead Xbox….. IT WORKED! It was beautiful. such a big thing could have such easy stupid, shoot-yourself-fix. Stupid M$

Then you'll have to ship it back to Microsoft.
Call their support line and they will guide you through the process.

MY XBOX360 STIIL DONT WORK
July 18, 2009 - 11:42 AM
So, I’ve had my 360 elite for a year and half, receiving it as a xmas present on 07′s xmas, I recently had the 3 red rings a couple weeks ago, but I managed to take it apart and fix it, replacing the paste under the heat sink, tonight, I have the same problem, so I undergo the same solution. I turn the console on, it works, I go to the kitchen to grab a drink, and it reads “please insert game disc into an xbox 360″ … well where the hell did I just insert the disc? a $300 DVD player!? I am not going to call Microsoft to send me another refurbished corpse, instead I’d rather buy some dynamite, shove it down the disc player and blow it to hell! Now, if anyone can direct me to an Microsoft Xbox 360 – Complain here! site, I would be very appreciated. Because this crap is pissing me off.

After reading much of all of this, and experiencing my roomate deal with the EXACT same problem. Some things about Microsoft and the Xbox become OBVIOUS.
-The unit was pushed without sufficient testing.
-Microsoft would like to keep this as quiet as possible.
-Microsoft assumes innocence in their neglegent and purposeful denial of systemic, reoccurring problems with the said unit.
-Microsoft itself will not stand by its product under its expected lifespan.
The following are POSSIBLE, and NEED to be investigated.
-To minimize monetary damage in repairing xbox’s, they are using they use ‘rebuilt’ drives from the very damaged xbox’s they recieve. (check and log your drives serial numbers, I don’t know if you can get it without opening the system..)
-Customer service representatives under Microsoft have been explicitly instructed to lie to customers in attempts to mitigate damage. A form of service known as fraud.(Anyone have that job? Let your closest lawyer and us know.)
I personally feel that it’s really about time the tech world has has a real good class action lawsuit. There are plenty of people. Xbox itself is a offshoot of microsoft. The company itself needs to determine whether to stand by its customers or destroy this blacksheep child. Customers expect of the largest and most powerful information processing company to be able to provide a product that is equal to whats paid; 300, 400, 500? Of course its difficult to assess worth and lifespan of the product. But, then again, in situations like these, a Judge is very useful. Any lawyers out there? We should all try to figure something out. If we dont slap them back for slapping us, they’ll just come out with another shitty product. Playing the people like idiots.

Well the edge trick will work if its an issue.. but what most people are seeing is recognizes it as DVD but then sees a game after it goes into its DVD program.
That trick also will not work if the game is brand new… no dust or film… so if it works it works but usually and more often then not.. it will not
The reason is the laser is weak and can not get through the multiple layers of code to descipher. Thats why i recommend the laser pot adjustment. All these other little tricks will only work someitmes and for a short time… Read the how to and try it out… if you dont feel compfortbale then look only for people who do it for small prices. There are plenty of adds in EBAY as well… people fixing DVD drive errors for 30 bucks or less and others.
