    Xbox 360 Perfect Circle Scratch Solution ?

    Is there one ? I turned R D R - Undead Nightmare on and my arm hit the box so it fell flat, now the disk as a circle on it, making it unplayable

    think you'll find it's beyond repair, same thing happened to my lads xbox and the scratch is so deep it's beyond repair. All those places do is take off the top layer of the disc which removes the light and medium depth scratches, if the scratch is really deep then there;s nothing you can do. If you pop into your local blockbuster rental place they have machines there that remove scratches, cost's £2 and takes em about 20 minutes per disc. Worth a try I suppose

    I gonna suggest the disc cleaning from blockbuster as above,its deffo worth a try.
    This is why i never have my xbox standing up,i feel that the force of gravity makes the disk sit at an angle rather than flat in the disk tray.my friend has it standing up and swears buy it,but then he does have alot more scratches and rings on his games then me.

    Hope it gets fixed up bro.

    Its not necessarily a whack on the box that does this (tho in your case i'm guessing it is).

    I've had it happen to discs without so much as touching the console. There was a big Watchdog thing about it a couple of years ago where they showed it happening to discs that weren't touched over a period of time. Its more a burn than a scratch

    the box sits upright or flat, i have it upright so when i knocked it, it fell flat. it would of been alright if the disk was not spinning inside. it can happen if you move the xbox when a game is turned on.
