Yes,my 360 has no problem playing any other game, but with COD4,it doesn't even recognize that it's a game.It just says that's a CD on the dashboard.

Did you get both copies of the game from the same place?

That's really strange. That's the error you get when you put a non-360/DVD/audio disc in the tray. If the game just couldn't read, it would say just that "cannot read disc"...

That's usually what it is.I thought with the first disc, it might just be because the game was in bad condition.Now I'm thinking that my 360 just can't read the game.I wonder if anybody else has this problem?Hope xbox support can help me out cause I've been wanting to play this game for a long time.I'll contact xbox support and hopefully they can help me out.

Sounds like your xbox is spazzing out a bit. Mine started to do that and it was the beginning of the end for that console:(. Is your xbox an older model? I'm on my 7th xbox as of yesterday. I know some people who are nearly into double figures!

I don't think there's any right or wrong way to get COD 4 to work. Just the other day on my now dead 6th xbox it wouldn't play dead rising even though it had played it plenty of times in the last year. I'm hoping the new one i got will be better built than the older models i seemed to have been cursed with. Good look Ed and i hope unlike me that your xbox doesn't have a life span of a mayfly!

Get a strong piece of card, slide it in the disc tray while shut with the disc inside then slide the card side to side. Pull it out, open and shut the disc tray and it should work, if your disc is fine then that means there is a problem with your laser.

Ya, i actually i'm having the same problem W/ COD 4. except for it will start to read it then keeps making a noise that sounds like its hitting something. only once did it say "Play DVD" and then it said to play it putt it in a xbox 360. other than that it wont read at all. it will say after a little bit " Open tray" like theres nothing in there.

Can you plz explain how and why this works, i really don't want to f*** up my xbox, and shove something into it if i don't even know what it is doing. Ty
