Bought Left 4 Dead last week and it wouldn't read the disk in my drive. Made a very light sound like it was rubbing against something. However Far Cry 2 and Cod4 etc worked fine. Got GTA IV today and it does the exact same, what the hell is going on. Are new disks thicker or some crap?

Do I need a new DVD drive or what.

Are they dual layer discs? (j\k)

How old is the drive? The laser may be dirty, open your case and try to clean it of dust, etc.

About a year and a half. How would the laser stop certain disks working though?

Find a disc sander and thin the disc down.

That should do the trick.

I really do hate that so many tech companies have sourced out their first level calling centers to India. Whenever I got an Indian, I just demanded to speak to the guy the next level up ...

What is confusing about that? I was asking if I needed to buy a new DVD optical drive. I don't though as firmware update fixed it.

You said: "Do I need a new DVD drive or what."

I say "What".

You now say you don't need a new drive.

So, I was right.

I didn't mean do I need a new DVD drive or something else. Just like I would say to someone are you crazy or what? I don't think they are actually crazy.
