Scratched 360 Disc

Araxen · Apr 18, 2014

So my workfriend has a scratched disc her son didn't take care of and the 360 can't read it anymore. It's GTA V and I'm pretty sure the disc is RIP since she went and had it "buffed" at the video store. The 360 still couldn't read it after that. I'm just wondering if anyone else has any other tricks that could work to try and resurrect this disc?

I'd just turn 360 degrees and walk away from the situation if I were you.

For grammatical and litteral posterity.

If her son bumped the disc while it was system, its ripping in peace and there is no hope for it.

If "buffing" it didnt work, there is no hope for it.

Tell her to buy a ps3

Post a picture of the disc. Is it unreadable or is the data layer physically damaged.

I've seen clear coat acrylic and a q-tip, but not toothpaste.

The disc is basically done. Toothpaste is a last hope, but that shit works 1 in 10 times. Just go buy a used copy of GTA V and stop wasting your time. The time, gas, and w/e else you spend repairing the disc could be used on something much more beneficial.

I told her to bring it in on Monday. I'll know for sure just by looking at it. I told her to try the toothpaste method but I do not think it'll work. I think the "buffer" method is the best solution but it didn't work. All it needs to do is read the disc to see if it's a valid GTAV copy since it's already installed on hard drive and if it can't read even the simplest of that...It's dead. I told her I'll try my best but it's prolly DOA.

Ask her if it has a perfect circle burned into it. If it does, its rip for sure

I'm praying to see that but knowing her son it's not going to be that. Sad to say. Her kid is only 11.
