Just bought a one today for $399 without kinect and when I insert the disk I hear a terrible grinding noise and the xbox doesn’t recognize the game what do I do?

Well like I said before, the beta software is causing the issue

I’m more interested in hearing when we get that 8% gpu bump after off loading or optimizing the kinect…

In reply to Rockyrob. Im having the same issues. Its so annoying having to hard reset after every game change. Its even closed down killer instinct a few times whilst mid battle.

If it’s software all of us in the preview BETA would be affected or most. There are many others in the forums with your same issues but there are
More who don’t or haven’t had this issue.

If it’s software related the issue would affect almost all in the preview correct?

I’ve had the same issue, it’s clearly not hardware, if the only people affected are the ones that have participated in the ‘Update Previews’, I really hope this issue is resolved soon, as it’s already messed up one of my game saves, it booted me out while I was playing Tomb Raider and now the local game save and the one on the server are both corrupted. I think BB was on the right track by opting out of future previews, I might just do the same.

Personally I’m glad that it’s not hardware, I didn’t want to have to return my day one box.

I’m have the exact same issues. To change games I have to do a hard restart. Only way to read the disk. Also get the noise mentioned.

If a disc is not being read that would identify a hardware issue.
If the game was working and then during gampeplay (not after suspending and coming back) the system asked you to put back in the disc it’s still a hardware malfunction

DRM would be an issue if one user was playing, left but allowed another user to continue on the owners home console and the system revoked access asking if you own the game.

The DRM for discs game is on the disc which is why the original direction was to allow disc owners to enter a code that would give them ownership regardless if the disc was in or not or regardless if they wanted to take the disc to another console and play under their profile. It saves download times and eliminates any possible DRM issues because you purchased two forms of DRM.

I’m still upset that this was changed and sorry about your experiences but I believe this is a hardware related issue from what’s described.

In reply to Dex. I experienced all the above issues and opted out of beta testing for the next update. the discs are not dirty and it is a software issue. I would think it is a DRM conflict as well.
