my 360 is a disk-chewing machine

Nuzak

first modern warfare 2, then borderlands, and now the original mass effect. my xbox has left a fairly substancial scratch round them all. i accidentally, and may i say, gently, tapped the console with my foot, and after a horrific mangling noise, i recovered the games with a brand new scar. each time thinking that it wouldn't do that again!

it has had some problems in the past pulling the disk tray back in, it's always been a bit lazy, like the tray isn't being supported properly. possibly the cause behind this.

anyway: could anyone at H/A help me recover these disks? i'm buffing them like a table with a soft old duster and some of my breath, but it doesn't seem to be working. is there a device that could clean it for me? or perhaps a service? is there any way to replace the games? i'd rather not buy them again.
would you like pictures of the scratches?

When I worked at blockbuster, we had a disc repair machine that would buff out the scratches and we did use it for customers too, though there was a fee for it :S but it worked pretty decent on most discs, including game ones

Get some car wax, a paste wax. The kind that comes in a small, round container. They call it "cleaner wax" sometimes, because it's meant to buff out scratches.

Alternately, you can try toothpaste, as long as it's not a gel. Both wax and toothpaste have mild abrasives meant to buff a surface.

Theres a product called Disc doctor that does a buffing of the discs. Should remove all minor surface scratches. used to have an older hand crack version that I used to fix some of my older CDs.

Depending how bad the scratches are, maybe try toothpaste? I've heard it's very slightly abrasive, so it's sometimes used to buff things once regular polishes are too coarse.

Check the manual for instructions on getting a replacement disk.

Call some video stores and see if they resurface disks.

Or, get a disc dr if they're still sold, I've cured many a CD with one of those back in the day and there was a DVD one I saw around back then too.
