Looks like its the drive and not the discs. Both 360 discs work fine on my uncles xbox one. He has a few xbox one games that im gonna try on my series x when I get home. Maybe my series x can't read dvd discs?

Looks like replacing the drive isn't that hard, if you're interested:



It looks like drives are around $40.

I have a huge collection of DVDs and Blu-rays. My XSX reads all my Blu-rays, but only most of my DVDs. Some it can’t read. However I still have an Xbox One X hooked up, and it does read all my DVDs.

Yeah I've tried everything. It won't read dvds. It read blu ray discs fine. I'll get it fixed as it's not expensive to get a disc drive fixed or replaced.

If you have one of those fiber clothes for cleaning eye-glasses, try cleaning the disc with it. Maybe the laser on your disc drive is a bit weaker, might as well give it a shot, right?

I've already tried. Thankfully it's not too difficult or costly to fix. I've already called around and it can be fixed for under £50. Might aswell get it done. Better that then buying 360 games digitally because physical 360 games are so cheap. Its well worth it to have the drive working.

Before you spend any money, I've got one more suggestion.
It's a one-in-a-million shot, but it can't hurt to try it.

Xboxes can install disc games from the Store rather than from disc. When I was having some drive trouble with my Xbox One S, I had use that method instead of installing from the disc.
You said you have Blacklist. Without a disc in the drive, go to the Store on your Xbox, search for Blacklist. Click on the Blacklist page and then insert the disc and wait. If it recognizes the authentication code on the disc, it should give you the option to install it online.
I really don't think it will work, but it's worth a shot.

xD Anyone remembers the context of this reaction?

Make sure you are hooked up to the internet as some games may need an update. The Series X can play Xbox disc games all the way back to the OG XBox.

I already tried that but it didn't work. The drive won't read dvd discs. I tried both 360 games and dvd movies. It reads blu ray discs fine. I think the laser that reads dvd discs is dead. I don't even know if it ever worked as this is the first time I've tried playing a physical 360 game on it since i bought it 2 years ago. I have an xbox one that can play 360 discs but I won't get the enhancements, like 4k resolution.
