Scratched disk

[HTML]

We've probably all experience these circular scratches on our disk after barly moving or tapping our xbox while it's on. Do you think we should have to pay for another copy of the game? Why or why not?

Also, how many times has this happen to you so far? For me, it's happen at the very least, 8 times, either with Halo 3 Or call of duty 4.

Well what I do is when I have a scratched game, I go and rent the same game, save the data to the xbox's harddrive and use the scratched disk to verify that I own the game. That way I only paid an extra 2$ to fix the issue.

Yeah I've only done it once because I didn't even know about doing this until it was too late. It could have saved me literally hundreds of dollars.

@torian that is the best idea ive heard EVER.
and its only happened to me once but wasnt a big enough scratch to matter it didnt mess up the disk

I never get them, i think it might be your Xbox. (or the way you have it set up)

[NotNeccesary]

A way you could fix that is buy the official scratch cleaner or you can be ghetto and just put white toothpaste on the game, put it in the freezer for an hour, then clean it off and play.

It's only happened to my super old games like the ps1 games but it took forever to get them super scratched. But yeah, it takes awhile. :p

This has never happened to me. But back when my PSX and PS2 games used to have enormous scratches on them I would just borrow it from BlockBusters or something and just give them my broken copy or just sell it to gamestop for credit, never got a call back, and scored a good amount of credit back in the day

Take some toothpaste, rub it along the ring scratch OUTWARDS FROM THE CENTER OF THE DISK. Clean it off, repeat. The scratch should disappear, or at the very least fade to a bleak shadow. This fixes the disc.
If not, just pull a rent-and-switch.

Its happened to me once, But then again I only have 3 games.
and yes, it happened with Halo 3.

Yea xbox 360's have to many flaws....mostly only the old ones do that though i have put around 400$ into customizeing my xbox and now it is almost flawless and none of that crap has ever happend to me again in a year and a half!

[Simon Fiction™]

Hehe, this happened to my Crackdown disk, had my xbox in this cubbyhole where it had previously red ringed, so everytime i wanted to play i took it out of the cubbyhole. Normally i'd leave it off but i'd turn it on via controller.

It made this mental GRRRRRRRR noise for like 2 or 3 seconds so i put it down, then it loaded a white screen with loads of foreign languages telling me i should enter the disk (:

I just thought to myself "Atleast it was only crackdown!"
Also - god that game would be good right now.
