    At first it would sometimes it will say "Play DVD" and a white screen would pop up. Now it's all the time. I've cleaned the discs. Now every single time I boot up my xbox 360 that's what I get. To get it to play a game I have to repeatedly eject and close the disc tray and restart the xbox. Since it never does this with regular xbox discs and DVDs I'm think that maybe the DL drive isn't reading the second layer for some reason. Like it's maybe damaged.

Make sure discs are not scratched. Try cleaning the discs using rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.

My xbox360 reads dvds but not games. when i put a game in, it goes to a white screen with the xbox logo

This error is caused by not having the original DVD drive in your 360. Only a professional can change your DVD drive successfully. You will need the original DVD drive to fix this problem. Without the original drive your Xbox won't be playing disc based games again. A skilled professional with the original DVD drive should be able to fix your problem.

Xbox 360 reading error

Bad Cdrom/dvd
The laser going bad is a pretty common issue with the drives, since it's a Hitachi that spindle motor could be all gunked up with dirt as well and cause that issue also.
if ya have a Hitachi, if it's a Samsung it could just be the laser.

Put this in an xbox 360 console

Did you try using a cd lens cleaner in the XBox 360 dvd drive? Check the cds that they are not scratched, and you could have your son try the discs in another XBox 360.
