My xbox 360 which i bought a month ago started scratching my dvds after i bought oblivion (no idea why) a few days ago. Gonna send my 360 into Djinn as soon as possible n hope that he gets new stock fast.

My oblivion dvd completely wont load a conversation with certain npcs and instead will show the 'the disc is unreadable' tab. My Gears cd has also been affected, albeit only a little. the scratches on the dvd is minimal, probably about 2 small scratches and this causes the game to 'lag' about a second sometimes.

Anyway, the reason i set up this thread is to get feedback from everyone about known methods to remove scratches on dvds and hopefully, a suitable method can be found to revive my oblivion dvd and maybe also fix my gears dvd to make them work like new.

there are some products on the market that can fix cd scratches. but dont ask me. forgot ald where i read/see it.

I had similar problems with Oblivion.
Use toothpaste.
Google, or search for my posts in the oblivion thread.
Lazy to type

The weird problem is~ majority of disc scratches happen to those title.

Gears of War
Oblivion

But why these two ?

OMG, i'm not the only one??? so is this a console prob or a game prob? do i still need 2 change my console?

dude...
try searching these matter in these section itself.....
i thinks there's like few cases already....even i had this problem....
cheers..

Yes... my f**king console just destroyed my GoW and Oblivion... I dont know what's the reason that this always happen to these 2 games. However, I managed to use toothpaste to revive both of them and my oblivion has been running good as new while GoW still shows the dirty disc error once in a while.

I suspect that games with a lot data streaming will be affected the most because the lens is constantly reading the disc. GoW is streaming textures while Oblivion is streaming data for the world.

My other discs are mighty fine with no or little scratches only.

so guys, jus one quick question. will it help for me 2 change my console or not? or will it be the same for the new console? since only these 2 games affected...

Other games jus like wut hezda said, have little or no scratches at all. Gears also a bit scratch only.

try using those cloth for polishing metal, glass.. it works for minor scratches.. cloths for cleaning LCDs works well too.. cheap and effective

YAYA true! my GOW just used for 2 days KAboom

CONSOLE : Please Remove the DVD cause unreadable error or contact our Customer Service at 1300-xxx-xxx-xx blablabla/

My gow was bought from sce * garage sales * and he replace one for me after the supplier refuse to claim it he pay ask me pay only rm70+ for a new GOW he pay half for that >.< didn't use tooth paste to revive T.T dam

my case evem more weird

Asia Warranty Sux for their accessories which is also including game.

MS consider "scratches" is self "inflict" damage.

yups
crack...hurm..
maybe the disc itself is low quality

oh ya get my GRAW2 nice and new ! my GOW also nice and nice xP not scratch wish not the console that spoil it if really console which spoil it .. it look like i keep a snake beside me >.<

My Blue Dragon Disc 2 is getting scratched up pretty bad. It's annoying, and worrying.
