    As the title suggests, my 360 won't read any of the games I have, and I don't know why. A few hours ago when I turned it on, it had AC3 in it, and was reading it just fine. I wanted to play some CoD: Bo2 so I removed the AC3 disk and put the CoD disk in but it refused to read it. So then I tried out the rest of my games (RDR, GTA4, Halo4) but it couldn't read any of them. I then put AC3 back in it, but it couldn't read it either. Help please!

    The DVD drive is shot. Plain and simple. It's around $100 thru MS, and it most generally happens when the 360 gets left on for hrs with a game or movie being read by the drive. You may be able to find someone online or locally but if you are still covered by the RROD warranty, you will lose that coverage unless you send it in.

    Wow dude that really sucks...

    I don't think it can be fixed, and I think you're going to have to either send it in or buy a new one. I think it's strange how it stopped playing games when you put in COD.

    Happened to my very first slim, it was the disc drive that packed up. There's no fixing that. It needs a repair or a replace, sorry dude.
