nop....other games dont scratch.......
but i do find that when playing GOW, the noise level (reading) its a bit noisier.......or....mayb as u said..i'm just a bit unlucky..... mayb i will look for other alternative 1st...but if i cant stand, then i would have to buy a new one from diff shop... |

QUOTE(acougan @ Dec 17 2006, 05:28 PM) u mean u left the dvd in the 360 (flat & fixed position) a whole week and u still find scratches? nop....i did not left the game inside the 360.......after i dun want play any game, i would go to the dashboard 1st...after the disc stop for a moment,then i would eject the tray.....maybe after playing, gently keep the dvd in those colored dvd-seeve. i feel they protect the disc better than the case   |

i also read at the forum that if buy from spore directly can claim back within 30 days period.........the scratches of outward (from inside to outside) also i'm puzzled...
 .........although i read in the forum,this thing is very rare (outward,inward),but it does happen...This post has been edited by Mr. Alby: Dec 17 2006, 06:56 PM |

QUOTE(acougan @ Dec 17 2006, 06:55 PM) HOLY MOLY!!! those are real serious! i thought when u say scratch, means those hair-line wear & tear scratch only. i nvr seen such damaged disc b4. eh..by the way...what is TS?...anyone with technical knowledge of DVDROMs? a perfectly working 16X unit will never do that to a brand new disc, would it? position misaligned? too must excess heat for the gpu affecting the drive? TS, i'm realy sorry to hear this happen to u. suggest u dont put in anymore ori disc for the moment. if play those pasar malam dvd movies, will it spin at 16X? maybe can use those cheapo disc to test the machine. anyhow...i play other games no problem...no scratches at all........currently waiting for Djinn for his advice..... so far i never put any pasar mlm stuff la.....i'm very sayang of my 360...  |

QUOTE(Rocky @ Dec 17 2006, 07:02 PM) Mr. Alby sorry to hear that your GOW disk is stratched! Please check what disk drive you got, Philip, Toshiba or Samsung. I think I read somehwhere in XBOX.com US forum under technical issue that certain DVD drive will stratched the disk. Just the the old xbox, Samsung seems the best, others run like a plane taking off. Anyway, it is just bad luck. Hope you shine up your chainsaw and join me Sumo, Jaylike, zeliant ... etc for a game. eh..how to check wat brand?...(noob....cut me some slack man..) Cheer, Bro. |

QUOTE(marauderz @ Dec 17 2006, 08:08 PM) Wow, that's a lot o nasty scratches that doesn't look natural at all, u say ur other discs aren't affected so I guess it's not ur drive. i'm very2 sure that no one other than me touch the disc......But u also mentioned that u put the game back into the case after every session, are u sure no one touched it and dropped the disc before? as i said earlier.....maybe it just pure bad luck....a factory default or something... oh well....off to GH i guess 2 buy a new one.... |
