It keeps scratching my games

There are many ways to remove the scratches also the cover up the scratches.In order to remove them i have heard that toothpaste does the trick.Apply the toothpaste on the scratches then leave to dry in warm water for 30-40 minutes.


Or you can borrow another copy of the game from a friend and install it on your hard drive then when you put your original game in the scratches become useless.

Circular scratches are the most harmful to the disc's ability to play. You can try gently rinsing the disc under cool water and then drying thoroughly, bufffing with a soft clean towel. Depending on how big the scratch is, the disc may not be useable even after this, though. If it does work, be sure to always keep it in its case when not in use. Leaving CDs out is the surest way for this problem to recur.

Sounds like the xbox console needs the laser adjusted or secured as per the other comments. For any discs issues, read on.

Check to see if there are any scratches or laser burn marks on the discs.Scratches or marks on discs will render game discs unplayable or will freeze the game and will often show a message stating "Disc Read Error" or something to that effect. Best remedy for starters, is to clean the discs and make sure there are no scratches or marks left on the play-side of the discs. A common problem that XBOX owners are reporting is; if the console is moved during play, a whirring noise is heard and then when the disc is removed, very visible laser burn rings are found on the disc.

Laser burn, looks like complete or partial circular scratches around your disc. This occurs to discs when the games console has been moved whilst playing. Discs are then impaired by a ring of laser burn, which is a circular scratch into the disc. Some home remedies may help with very light scratches on some discs but a professional disc repair service is normally required to fix laser burn scratches or damage to XBOX discs.

Check the "More Info" & "FAQ" Sections for further details on disc repairs and related matters.

If this laser burn scenario is consistently happening to your game discs especially if the console has not been moved or bumped against while the disc is in play, the games console itself may require repair. You should contact Microsoft for assessment and guidelines.

Hope this Helps!!

When I have problems with scratched DVD's or games, I use the scratch remover cream that goes on your disc, Leave it on for a few minutes to dry, then wipe it off with a very smooth cloth... Its about $7 or $8 I think.... Good Luck, Like I said this usually works fine for fixing scratched discs

Well the disc driver obviously works on most of your games except saints row 2. Saints row 2 is in mint condition well i have this problem too with my 360 it reads some games and it doesn't read my other ones well theirs a few ways one is by leaving the game inside of the console and shut it down wait like 5 seconds and turn it back on.
Another is to make sure the laser its self doesn't have dust on it.
And when you put in a disc listen to it as it spins if makes any weird scratching noise its probably the laser hitting the disc a lot of 360s disc have been getting scratched recently due to the fact in microsoft's original design of the disc drive the laser keeps on hitting the disc and scratching it so if thats the case you have to replace the disc drive.
If solutions don't help let me know i might be able to help you more.

While disc scratching is known to occur if you move your XBox360 console from vertical to horizontal position while the disc is spinning or by bumping the console while the disc is spinning, there have also been reports that discs have become scratched when the console has not been moved at all. The official line from Microsoft is: "If you are experiencing scratched discs without moving your console you should contact 1-800-4MYXBOX for warranty support from Microsoft." Unfortunately, Microsoft will not replace your scratched discs for free. Instead, they offer a scratched disc replacement program with a charge of $20 per disc. To take advantage of this program go to the XBox website and search for "XBox Disc Replacement Program".
