I'm not sure if this has been said before or not so I apologize if it has because I'm not going to browse through 120 pages of response to check =D. From my own experience when your xbox starts to read games as dvd's it is generally related to your optical drive going the way of the dodo. I had this problem about half a year ago in my 360, which is so old it doesn't have an HDMI port ^_^. Anyways, it would start out with unreadable messages, clean your disc, etc. Eventually it would not read Halo 2, 3 or ODST yet read every other game until those too were read as dvds. If your warranty is expired you can pick up a new drive on ebay for about $25, make sure it's the EXACT model number that is already in your xbox as you will be putting the logic board from your drive into the new one, otherwise it will not work. Please note that this is not a mod, rather a fix for a hardware problem as some people have trouble distinguishing the two, however, If you have the money to burn I would suggest getting a new xbox. Hope this helps!
