Hi. This is already my 2nd Xbox One after the 1st one would stop reading blu ray disk. The 1st xbox started off working as it should but then got slow to reading the disk and having to eject it and put it back in again sevral times. then the grinding noise of death started so took it back to shop for a replacement. Now after a couple of month this is starting to do the same taking a long time to read blu ray games and movies. The Grinding noise not started yet but the slow down as. I have forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 and does it more on Forza 5. does any one else still have issues with there?. Is this another way of MS saying by games online as when games are playing there fine from free games with gold store.?.
Blu Ray Drive slow to read disk?.
If you're having problems call Microsoft and they will replace your xbox. To be honest once you install the game the bluray drive isn't used but to check if you have the game in the drive. X1 isn't designed to run games off the disk directly. Their whole plan was to install the game and never need the disk again, but the whole 24/7 Internet fiasco killed that and they backed tracked on that.

Installs on Xbone are the slowest installs I think I've ever dealt with in my life. They really need to improve that if they can.
Indeed they are!!! It literally took 4 hours to install titanfall on my xbox, but for some reason it only took 20 minutes to install destiny!
@adders99: I have both a ps4 and xbox one, without a doubt it takes far longer to install and play a game on the xbox one then ps4. I believe they both have a blu ray read speed of 6x. The difference is how the games are coded, they both have a install a portion of the game then you can play as the game finishes installing.
I find the ps4 to be far quicker from inserting a new game to playing. I've had some games take almost a hour to install on the X1. It seems this feature is far better utilize on the ps4. You would think blu ray has been out for some time now, they would have drives far faster then 6x at reasonable prices. I suppose these systems weren't design with running games directly off disc so they didn't care to include faster bd drives. It's insane, makes me think of my old PC days when I had to install 4 cd roms a hour in to play a game. Now days you can buy a game day one, have to wait a hour to install the game. Once you install the game you find out there's a 4gig dayone patch to download to before you can play the game. There have been more then a few times I wanted to play a quick game only to find out there was some multi gig patch I had to download before I could play, effectively killing my urge to get a quick game play session in "cod ghost, bf4, KI, DR3" to name a few. My long ramble and rant.
You can solve all these update issues in the power savings settings, your xbox will download updates in the background while it's off. But it also hogs you data and bandwidth so I keep those setting off.
I think it takes so long to install some games because it downloads updates as you are installing it... I know with Dead Rising 3, which I bought recently, it installed like 85% from the disk then downloaded the rest as an update. So it seems like it's taking ages to install from the disk but it is actually downloading a portion of the game, so that's why it takes so long sometimes.
Slow drives. These two consoles are slow. I don't get it. Loading up a bluray film takes forever. It is giving me flashbacks to 1.44 meg floppy disks.

Although they both have slow drives, the PS4 is way faster at installs for whatever reason. There is comparisons on Youtube if that ever fancies you using exclusives and multiplatform games to give you an idea. It's insane.

Yeah, I noticed the installs were much slower on Xbone in-comparison to the PS4 with the same multiplatform games like COD:Ghosts.

Yeah but I don't turn my console on every day. I really doubt Xbox has as many updates as ps4. It is ridiculous.

I'm not sure what turning consoles on every day have to do with the first time experience of installing a new game?
That's a different subject completely tbh. We were talking about slow drives and installs. It doesn't sound like you own both based on your doubt about Xbox updates, but they have had quite a few updates since launch. I own both (and a Wii U), but I have them both on standby so the updates are fairly easy to deal with as they install while I'm sleeping. Updates haven't been a big issue for me as they've been easy to deal with on standby mode.
I was never talking about updates though, just installs of games/slow blu-ray drives. In fact, that's the thread's title, the blu-ray slow drive which isn't related to online updates. My least favorite online update experience this generation was strangely the Wii U launch day updates...but that's neither here nor there since we are talking installs/slow blu-ray drives.

Well I was just bringing that into the inconvenience. I don't own an xboxone. I believe you that the drive is slower, but the amount of updates for ps4 is more aggravating I'd imagine. So if I leave the ps4 in standby it automatically downloads and installs? If thats the case then i'd probably leave it in that mode but like I said I don't use it every day, sometimes go weeks without touching a videogame. I'm brining up the situation where you may have people over and want to play a game or watch a movie. When that update screen pops up I'm thinking, "grrreeeeeaaaaaat."

Yes, if you leave it in standby, it will automatically download the installs.
You will authorize the installs later that downloaded in your sleep when ever you next turn the machine on. When you turn it on, it will ask if you are okay with the update, but the update itself is downloaded and ready to be finalized making the process very quick. It's like pre-loading an install.
At any rate, I hope they fix the Xbone's initial incredibly slow install times in an update.
