  Nope theyre fine, the Xbox can even See what game it is. The error says this Xbox cant play this without an update

  Makes me really hate m$ even more.

  I actually have no issues with dvds myself. Ive been safe from disc rot so far

    It’s been awhile since I thought about this.

    But my understanding is that it doesn’t play the game from the disc. It only uses it to confirm proof of purchase and downloads a version of the game that will work.

      That’s what the current gen xbox one and series do- disc for reference, download actual game. The 360 playing older OGs still plays from the disc without download/internet. ….at least that’s been my experience. Last time i used my 360 to play OG xbox games there was no internet or downloads involved.

        You were probably fortunate enough to have a console with the software emulator.

        A quick look into it this morning said Microsoft offered these discs for people stuck without internet.

        They also offered: www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=…

        Looks like it’s a bit of both worlds. The software for running them came separate. www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=…

        But they also revoked some games and this process might not work anymore. Can’t test it
