Forums - Gaming - Xbox One Disc Drive Issues are Real

thismeintiel on 22 November 2013

I wonder what exactly would make a crunching noise in the disk drive. Sounds kinda like when you slightly move the 360 when it has a disk in it. I wonder if they skimped on those rubber stabilizers again.

The PS5 Exists.

I come into this thread looking for info on and displays of the XBOne issues and I see links posted about the PS4 .... I feel lied to.

 

Anyway, that's unfortunate, but not unexpected. The price you sometimes pay when you are an early adopter. I'd like to know what % of these consoles has issues when the dust settles.

A couple things about the XB1: it was not designed to be stood on its side like the XB360. Doing so could potentially damage the drive. Second, and there should be a label on the console stating this, but the console should not be moved when a disc is spinning in the drive.

If someone does either of the two, it's not "defective" it's user negligence if a disc gets eaten or the optical drive goes out of alignment.

You are thinking about the 360. There is no reason for the console to not be moved while it is spinning. PS3 have been able to do that without sending the drive out of alignment since day one. The 360 is the only console I have ever heard of with that issue. Should not carry over to the One as it uses similar technology to the PS3/PS4.

The XB1 has a sticker on the front of the unit right below the disc slot:

"Do not move console without first removing any disc inside."

You realize he was pointing out just silly using amazon as the only "metric that matters" as he put it actually is...right...


You realize pokoko was making that point


Than why'd you bother replying to them in the first place champ ;)



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

I won't care unless I read it on Amazon. That's the only metric that matters.

I'll write a review then PM you.  J/k.

I want to see a Xbox One shoot a disc out of the drive.  That'd be more awesome than eating the disc and not reading it.

When you pay $500 plus tax for a system, you shouldn't have to THINK about glitches & bugs.

The excuse that "these are the things you have to put up with on launch consoles" is UNACCEPTABLE.
If the manufacturer can't make a quality product at $500 then what is that manufacturer in the business for?
