My friend has a 360 that is scratching his discs. It's not because he has moved it, and he plays it on it's side (horizontal). It has destroyed about 10 of his games now, here is what it's doing to the discs:


Sorry the image isn't too good, but you see that spiral? that's what it's doing to the entire disc.

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem... I looked around and all I found was preventative steps, not really any fixes. I also heard about the protective skins that you put on the discs but I know that will screw up my drive. And I heard about foam buffers but that just sounds all bad.

What type of DVD drive does his 360 have?

Hitachi?

I would replace the drive.

BenQs are great drives and you can spoof your key to the drive.

Dump the Hitachi firmware and spoof it to BenQ firmware and then flash the BenQ.

When my 360 was scratching discs, I just used toothpaste to fix the discs. But, that obviously does not get rid of the problem. As stated, switch drives. Benq's are really good.

I actually haven't modded it yet... Which benq drive should I pick up? and where would the best/cheapest place to get it be? thanks 4 the replies.

Edit:
I've seen a lot of the BenQ VAD6038 drives on ebay for about $20, these the ones I should go for?
