Cradles don't slide to well due to base gravity due to grease and such.

Try shocking the console in the correct direction.

Ah I see what you mean. I'll do it tomorrow, I'm already a moron for being awake so late when I gotta work. gnight folks.

The last video was funny lol.

 

[GavinGT]

It could be this:

The white plastic bit is supposed to move along with the spinning metal bar.

But that doesn't make sense in the Xbox One's case unless the laser doesn't do its normal dance back and force (looking for a disc) at power-on.

 

[aygomyownroad]

That sucks. Glad I got a WiiU!
But seriously worried about my mate, he is a mega xbox fanboy and has pumped his whole wage in to getting a new set up and an xbone, I hope his works he will be crushed!

 

[Turbowaffles]

I'm actually really concerned I might get one of these "disc eaters" since I won't have any disc based games for some time. I have a surplus of MS points that come out to about $350 so I'll be going all digital for a while. But I would hate to get my first disc game 3 months down the road and find out I have a dud drive and be screwed.

GUYS GUYS

The best thing about the Xbox launch is how cute this guy's sons are:

I wonder what they're trying to say?

So cute

Doesnt the XB1 play audio CDs and Blurays? You could always try one of those formats if you have one.

Good luck.

If it doesn't work, definitely take it back.

Audio CD playback is an app that you have to download from what I've heard.

So put in a CD/DVD and see what happens.

Even if it won't play the disk, it will at least try to read it, which is about the point the drive grinds to a halt. So just stick in any disk (CD, DVD, BD)

 

[level44]

It's been 8 years and they still can't fix their drives. What.

 

[Izuna]

So cute

I hope his Xbox One actually works though!

Try a music CD.

edit, covered

 

[Chobel]

Not a blu-ray drive problem but this one got a broken Xbox One, Freezes on startup

[fastballspecial]

Sounds like it can keep a decent blast beat going.

 

[gogosox8]

Yikes, that does not sound good.

 

[Biker19]

Like before on the PS4 problems, if true, we must wait to see as it develops how wide spread it is. Launch issues will always occur on some units, and it's a shame... so concern is for immediate expedited replacements and for it to be relatively isolated.

Agreed, though I have a feeling that it's gonna be way worse than PS4's...& possibly much more than the drives failing.

 

[iamaustrian]

possibly the drive overheated due the small console size.
make it bigger next time

 

[Bundy]

Just arrived at work and my buddy called me.
His Xbone (disc drive) is faulty, too. He called it "the scratchbox of death" (made me chuckle).
I told him to make a video. So maybe he will have a video later on.

 

[Tsundere]

Games sites already reporting the faulty disc drive issues:

[OdysseusVA]

Xboned, amirite?

 

[scsa]

Waiting for someone on a random forum to claim its all sony's doing since blu ray is sony.

Lol

 

[SkullHydra]

Console failures are terrible, but all electronics have a percentage of failure rates. Hopefully this specific problem gets sorted out quickly.

Sorry to everyone affected. That's got to be terrible... =/

Lol

Tin foil: Sony and the blu-ray consortium got together to sell MS bunk blu-ray drives.

Sarcasm but still

lol

its not as tall as the original xbox but damn...this thing has a wide ass

Someone in the comments said it's a Lite-on unit.

There's your problem

 

[Weenerz]

Shoot, I don't even have cable. I guess they'll be Killer Instinct boxes until they're replaced. Still, it's just disappointing because there's nothing I can do about it until there's stock. Since I bought from Gamestop, I have to wait until they get more units, and god knows when that'll be.

I'm sure MS has stock available for warranty replacements. If GameStop is sold out, give MS a call

 

[Acrylic7]

This is worse than coal Christmas morning.

 

[RyudBoy]

I'm going all digital.

/swag

Would suck if I try to watch a bluray one day and hear that lol.

 

[Toki767]

At least kids aren't opening these Christmas morning. Yet.

 

[maquiladora]

Would suck if you waited till after the warranty goes away to try that ^^

 

[lemonade]

this makes me wanna get the game warranty. and here I was scoffing at the retail associate for offering it, lol

 

[cchum]

Still a waste of money.

Both probably have a year warranty for hardware/manufacturing defects.

 

[dejay]

Sounds like it's giving a drumroll.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Now whyyyy would you make a sliding disc slot when you have no experience in hardware. Use a disc tray next time!

Redesign incoming in 2-3 years. Quote me on it.

 

[Madness]

Jesus Christ, what happened to consoles that just worked?

Yeah no kidding. Feels like a great big beta test for consoles and games. Or it could just be that with the prevalence of social media and forums, those with problems tell about it and it seems bigger than it is.

Could just be poor shipping, might have dislodged the drives or something. Could be anything.

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

If you're buying first console run def get a warranty, you know it's gonna break down in 2-3 years.

 

[Phil-NeoGAF]

No! I'm afraid to hook mine up.

*sets up Xbox One*

*inserts Dead Rising 3*

Spoiler

Phew!

Pretty sure MS don't manufacture the drives.

 

[KAP151]

That sounds fucking horrible.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Microsoft's plan to convert people to digital.

 

[dreamfall]

Yipes.

I hope this doesn't become a thing.

 

[system11]

Probably worth updating the thread title - that sounds like load mechanism overrun for whatever reason. Nobody has reported a damaged disc that I can see.

I give it 7 hours before social media sites have turned this into 40% failure rate articles/posts.

 

[dark10x]

They're just trying to push people to buy digitally.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Jesus Christ, what happened to consoles that just worked?

Nintendo has a pretty good track record in this regard.

 

[RyudBoy]

Oh I don't even know why I said that. I'm putting in a disc to test it out as soon as I get the console lol.
