Xbox One disc drive broken for some users, YouTube videos show

4.7
A handful of YouTube demonstrations show Xbox One disc drives broken in the same way: The console accepts a game disc and then makes an awful skipping sound and doesn't register any game data. One YouTuber, Gabriel Ortiz, compiled a few videos of busted Xbox One disc drives, which he found under the search term "Broken Xbox One."

Oasis Knew it! Rumor says that if you don't have a Xbox One yet, wait until the normal edition is available in your area, apparently MS rushed the Day One edition to meet demand but obviously it didn't work out too well.


Never believe a rumor. There has to be some sort of leak or proof for such things to believe.

I'd say it is most likely down to it being handled incorrectly by whoever delivered them. But it doesn't look like there's that many disc drive problems with most people. The only other issue i've saw is the Day one update which isn't affecting everyone.


Me and a bunch of my friends have the day one edition and it works fine. I don't know anybody with an issue.


Well yeah, because if you managed to get one that was manufactured before they realized they needed to bump up production then obviously it should work fine. It seems as if the tight schedule has hampered quality.

Just because you don't know anyone with the problem doesn't make it real, being ignorant to issues like these will only slow down the evolution of the console.

Hopefully by the 2nd gen (first half of 2014?) of this console all hiccups will be fixed.


Honestly, it's highly unlikely this is due to 'bumping up the production rate'. They knew how many people they wanted to pre order the console, and they're probably accurate. If anything, pre orders were lower than expected because of the backlash over the new features.

Well at least I made a smart choice in building a gaming PC this year.. Let all the technical faults for next gen consoles get fixed before I go anywhere near them ;)

I knew both consoles would have launch day problems.

This is one reason why I will be waiting to get my console. I knew that there would be problems.

They sure they have updated their console?
