Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. Alright, earlier today, I went to a place that sells scrapped factory equipment and other stuff like that. Among the rows and rows of factory equipment, I found this tray containing a few spindles of discs. A stack of them were plain CD-Rs. What caught my eye was this stack of discs which are silver on one side and gold on the other. The silver side blank except for a single transparent label that read "ZZ01001W-R3". Curious, I took one of the discs home and inserted it into my PC. It was recognized as a DVD an an animation with the XBOX logo and the message "This is an Xbox game disc. Please put it in your Xbox to start playing." appeared in 6 languages. Unfortunately, I do not have an Xbox to test this disc on. Could anyone identify what might be on the disc?
Green disc for beta testing, you'll need a modded xbox. Also go back and get all those cdrs, could be xbox live software.
I'm quite new to the Xbox scene, what's a green disc and how did you know it's one? Also, just some extra info if they mean anything. I live in Penang, Malaysia. The place that sells these stuff has lots of other things lying about such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, and from what I could tell, equipment that is somehow involved in the manufacture/testing of hard disk drives. Also, stacks of speakers that were used in a scam some time ago. Being a junk warehouse in a third-world country, you could say that the rest of the discs were in a pretty bad condition. Scratches, dust, dirt everywhere. The one I took was one of the ones that were in a better condition. To be honest, when I took the disc, I didn't think that it'd be related with the Xbox at all. I'll try to pick up the rest the next time I drop by there.
Usually I think the wording "green disc" is meant to be taken literally: Though clearly in this case the disc isn't green and almost looks like it is dual sided. Obviously the character string would prevent that side from being completely read so this is likely not the case. Shame you're on the other side of the world.
They just have network-test apps on them. They have to phone home to a local XBL server to actually run though, so unless you get the server-side install disk, you only have some sortof fancy coasters. I've got a few laying around somewhere.
Alright, I have went to pick up the rest of the stuff. I've tested some of the CD-Rs, they are all blank. There are a few DVD-Rs in there but they are all unreadable. I'm guessing they're for use in the production of DVD drives. I'm still cleaning the rest, I now have an overstock of CD-Rs.
