Skola Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 You can't get those dutty ring scratches out more timeyeahthe one on MW2 is more like a small set of dotsbut the are in the path of a circlethe other disk has 2 heavy ringsso im gonna get game to repair mw2 then install to hdd (wish i had done that already).if it doesnt install, im borrowing a friends copy to install it, then use my dodgy one for verification when i want to run the game - as some of the disk works - the game loads fine then stalls, or when i try and install it it stops at 20%fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down&Funky Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 If it is a circle scratched into the disc, then you should be able to get a new xbox for free. There was an issue with some models that scratched a circle into the discs when they were put in, people complained, so they allow anybody with this issue to get a new xbox. It was even on Watchdog.
