Suddenly, when you put the game disc one day it gave you the error message "to play this disc, put it in an Xbox 360 console" and you don't know why that happened or how, let me tell you!

That might be something related to your Xbox 360 console itself or the disc you are trying to play on, so first have a look on the Xbox 360 game disc itself and check whether there is any kind of scratches or flaws on it.

If you find a scratch or a flaw on the disc that seems to be the reason and just to check it you can put any other game in your Xbox 360 console and try it once more, if the other game is working fine that definitely assures that it's a fault with the game disc & check on the scratched discs page on our web site for more information about the reason for this issue to occur.

If there were no scratches on your xbox 360 game disc, then try the following steps:

1- With no discs in the disc tray, go to the System section on the dashboard.

2- Check the console settings.

3- Choose start up.

4- Set it to disc not dashboard

If you found it set to dashboard, then change it to Disc and try playing your xbox 360 game again.

If it has been set to disc or when you tried playing your game and it didn't work, then try the following:

1- Clean your xbox 360 game disc gently and try it again.

2. If it's still not working try also another discs to know whether it's an issue with the actual Xbox 360 console then or not.

3- If the other game discs worked fine, then remove your xbox 360 hard disk and try the game again.

4- If the xbox 360 game isn't working, then you should replace it from the retailer who sold it you as it isn't scratched.

In all cases if other game discs are giving you the same error message "To play this disc, put it in an Xbox 360 console" you need then to contact Xbox 360 customer support to send your console to get repaired or exchanged.
