Was Fifa the newest game you had at the time? Every time I get a new game it does that error for a while but usually gets better after it finally reads it for the first time, problem is that GTA V would not read after 2+ hours... I think you're right tho about the lens sometimes cleaning itself. If theres just a little bit of dust on it, it can cause that problem, but when the disc is spinning and all that sometimes it will blow the dust off the lens. I think mine is just really really dirty inside because I've never opened it and given it a full cleaning. Nope it was the oldest actually, although I didn't pay it until the start of this year for some reason. |

Damn so I just opened my xbox and cleaned everything, and still the same problem. Called a local repair place and they said once your xbox has trouble reading some games, it will eventually stop reading all games and burn the drive up. So I've gotta get them to replace the lens...

How much does the lens thing cost?

All those problems you are having with your Xbox totally suck Boddah. So it is a common problem? Would it just be cheaper to buy a new Xbox rather than getting the lens fixed?

Thank Kami! I finally fixed my xbox's laser! GTA is booting up with no problems! It would have cost me $45 to have someone else fix it, but I just adjusted the laser a bit with a tutorial I found on youtube and now every game starts up with no problem  Too bad I just ordered a replacement laster.... oh well always good to have a backup. |

Congrats on the fix. Lucky you seem so capable fixing electronics. I can build a PC but don't ask me to fix a console lol.

Great to hear everything is good mate. YouTube can be a life saver sometimes(ex. How to tie a tie). Can't cancel the order? |

The cheapest Xbox I could find was $120 at GameStop, but since I already ordered a new lens, I can just put it in so I don't have to worry about it messing up again.

I can't believe the crap I had to go through last night. My Xbox has trouble reading discs (it will say Unrecognized Disc) and some games take longer than others to fully load, but for some reason I could not get my xbox to read the GTA install disc... Spent 2 hours trying to get it working before I gave up. So now I've gotta get my xbox on the operating table and disassemble it and clean the disc lens. Has anyone else had that problem? I've had it with 3 different xboxs, the other times it eventually fried my disc drive completely  does your xbox have 8 GB of hard drive if not it wont run |

Yep, I cleared everything off my hard drive the day before it came out just for that haha. But this game is so insanely amazing! It is absolutely beautiful, and it's so massive. Plus they gave Flying Lotus his own radio station  |
