Xbox One disc read errors
Reports on Twitter from people suffering from disc read errors. Basically, they put the disc in the slot & it starts clicking and won't run.

Hopefully it's not widespread & is just a very small minority like the issues on PS4

As with the PS4 issues though, it's probably a very small percentage.
I miss the days when consoles would just work and all you had to do was blow in the cartridge
I wonder if the patch they released (and then pulled swiftly) yesterday was anticipated to fix this? (the "emergency update patch").
I loved the days of games coming in a cartridge.
I miss my Sega Megadrive.
You'd had have to bought a forklift to go with it
What is the game industries obsession with highlighting every minor problem making it out to be a huge major issue :rolleyes:
It was certainly suggested earlier this year that Sony's February announcement caught Microsoft on the hop, and they've been playing catch-up ever since.
Bound to be issues.
patience.
This.
That patch was the same as what you get via XBL... It was for people having problems updating their console directly.
I can't believe they released this console with Blu-ray drives not capable of reading a disc. This is typical Microsoft and shows they rushed this console, they should have delayed it until 2015.
Said those who jumped on the issues last week.
Just so everyone knows, my bluray drive on my PC is still working fine, and is still playing at 1080p.
*hugs PC*
I don't, it's stored on the landing along with its cartridges:D:o
Word of caution about the emergency patch.
A user was apparently having loading issues, was instructed by MS to use the emergency patch via USB and his console was then promptly banned for running non-legitimate software.
Do you have a link?
I doubt very much that a patch would fix this. I'm happy to be proved wrong of course
This sounds very much like a hardware issue. I've heard that sound before on CD drives and that case it was down to the gears in the drive being stripped of its pegs. If that is the case then its a potential major problem as it would indicate that the plastic used in the gears is very poor quality. Alternatively it could be an issue with the loading mechanism where the disk isnt getting fully loaded and the clicking is the "clutch" letting the gears slip so that they don't damage. Either way it does sound like a hardware issue.
I hope for the sake of the XBox One owners though that I'm wrong.
Yes, I know a patch would be less than useful for a mechanical problem, I was referring to OMTT's mention of the dreaded E100 error in post #3 !
The (pulled) patch was probably in anticipation of the "E100" (failed day one update) problem there have been a few reports of (very few to date) -

So now instead of a manual fix via usb, MS support page says:
"This indicates that there was an issue while updating your hardware, and that you’ll need to submit your console for a repair."

The guy I heard about is Nicholas Colzie, He has a YouTube account under that name or can be found on twitter as @DatBoiNastyNick

Sorry - I misunderstood
