When we talk about current consoles, we should rather talk about multimedia centers. Whether it is Sony and its PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X, we are faced with equipment that can play content via Blu-ray UHD and this is where Users complain about the operation of the Xbox Series X.
Apparently, some owners of Xbox Series X consoles are reporting problems that are generated when play triple-layer 100GB UHD Blu-ray discs. They even talk about excessive noise generated when reading the disk on duty.
Complaints on Reddit
The Xbox Series X includes a Blu-ray UHD disc drive. And in this regard, users are complaining in Reddit threads about problems when they have to read triple layer discs, those that offer 100 GB of capacity.
“For those who don’t know, 4K Blu-ray movies are usually printed on 2 different types of discs, a 66GB dual layer disc or a 100GB triple layer disc. If I put a 100GB 4K disc into GB (which, at this point, there are a decent number of 4K Blu-rays out there), plays everything at 1 – 2fps with no audio, resulting in minutes to get through the opening studio logo, which is like 10 seconds on The best case”.
The problems affect this type of discs and not the double layer ones with a lower capacity. Faults that can generate from a playback with no audio, to very slow loading times or playback to jumps.
In this regard, users refer to two movies as an example: “The Lord of the Rings” and “Tennet”. They are two of the titles that can offer playback problems. There is also a full list of 100 GB triple layer discs at this link.
This is one of the problems, but not the only one, because also on Reddit, other users complain of excessive noise when playing one of these discs. A sound level that can be mitigated by placing the Xbox Series X in horizontal mode, according to some affected parties.
