That's been my problem on my first XB 360 with every game... I could read DVD videos, but any game I had that screen that tells you that you should put the DVD in a 360 (wtf with that??? what a hell am I doing right now ????) solution to fix the problem, tap on the DVD drive while reading kind of the same approach my friends had with the PS2 when ever a game wasn't going through.... that worked fine until now where I can spend more than hour trying to make any game or DVD work on the old XB if it works at all... result I bought a second XB....
OH BTW I tried to make it RRoD so I can use the warranty.... but nothing works... I have a room that can get warmer than 115F let the XB run during weeks non stop in a enclosed area with other electronic component running hot next to it.... the bitch never died....
