this happens to me, and it reads games as dvds and every so often it will tell me to open tray. the on ly thing you can do is attempt to clean the laser yourself, or replace it, other then that, send it in.

Try a different game. Does it do the same? If it does, it is most likely a laser problem. Call Xbox Support! 18004MYXBOX.

you think that's weird. sometimes my 360 tries to read a game disc and instead of playing it or giving my a Unreadable Disc message it goes to a white screen with a message in about 11 diffrent languages telling me that the disc is a Xbox 360 disc and i need to put it into a 360.

so by that logic can i put a 360 game into a ps3 and i'll get the same message screen? same on a a PS2 or regular DVD player? the message must be on the actual disc because if it's somewhere on the 360 that's just stupid.

mine does that too sometimes, but I just eject it and put it back in and it's fine

if it gives u the language white screen something is definitely wrong

either the disc is bad or ur console is acting up

in most cases itll be the disc, if it's the only one doing that then go have it changed and see if it keeps doing the same thing

a 6 month old xbox should not have a weak laser already so it should be the disc
