Have you tried a known good disc? have you tried one of these discs in another 360? if you have and they work, but they dont work in yours, it sounds like the CD ROM drive is defective.
If you have the knowhow, you can buy and install a replacement drive for under about 40 dollars. Here is a link I found on amazon complete with reviews
http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Samsung-TS-H943-Replacement-Xbox-360/dp/B0012N1Z8A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296594330&sr=8-3
good luck! Please rate if this helps.

Game wont read says put disc in xbox 360 but i am using xbox 360 also it says its a dvd not game just wont let me play no more

If you have recently tried to mod your Xbox 360 then you did not get the drive key installed correctly. Otherwise the laser lens is either dirty/ starting to weaken. You can either replace the laser lens in the disc drive, try to clean it, try the POT tweak or replace the whole disc drive. Keep in mind if you replace the disc drive you will need to swap the PCBs or the drive keys. Hope this helps.

One. Make sure the bar code on the band on the inner ring is perfectley clean and dusted. Two blow into the disc drive to make sure there is no dust on the laser.

My xbox 360 only pays old games(like pgr3) and not new games(like need for speed shift)

The laser in your XBox 360 is probably going out. When lasers start to fail, the first discs that stop reading are newer, dual layer, discs. Single layer discs will still read. As the laser wears out, single layer DVDs will stop reading but CDs will continue to read. Eventually, everything will stop reading and the laser will die.

You can find lasers for the XBox 360 all over the internet. Installing them isn't easy though.
