Ok either your laser is bad or if it says it's not on a level surfaceyou have to replug it if that doesn't work try cleaning the laser if that doesn't work either the DVD-rom is horrible or you just need to get a new laser
SOURCE: xbox 360 wont play the games but will play cds and dvds !!!!
I would call 1-800-4MYXBOX and tell them the problems youre having with what is a relatively new machine.
Xbox realized that the consoles were peppered with problems like this and extended the warranty from one year to three.
SOURCE: error message, play dvd when playing games
either deal with it. Your cd drive is going.... get it fixed, or buy a new one

if it tells you the disc is unreadable then the laser maybe bad or dirty.
try a cd lens cleaner and see if it solves the problem. if it doesn't then your dvd rom will need to be replaced
SOURCE: my xbox 360 drive wont read games it will only dvds and cds
Your laser either needs to be cleaned or is going bad. I have seen this many times before. Try taking the drive apart and cleaning the laser aperture with 91% alcohol and a cotton swab (carefully). If that doesn't work then you need to replace the laser (or get a new drive).

This is more than likely your laser that is dead and its possibly a samsung or hitatchi drive, be careful when
buying a new laser because there is a lot of dodgy ones around at the minute which can damage your machine or
at the very least will be inferior and not last long.
its very possible it could also be your logic board which is a controller that controlls your dvd drive and laser etc. if this is faulty (and im betting its a samsung) then you might have to replace. you can pick these up for swap with the one on your drive for around £10 and can be effective but i would also checj the drive belt and make sure that is tight and working ok and tha laser too.
if your 360 reads dvd's but not games it may be repairable but if it wont read anything then your better off replacing the laser. strip down the console and strip the dvd drive, take out the laser and look underneath it, it will have a code such as HD57 or something else, note that down. Visit ebay and search for the laser with the same code, buy it, fit it in and make sure you de-solder the static blob of solder before using it (search the net about this or ask the seller) and then try your machine again :)
