  1. game disks unusable


    Hi, Community Arts Network cic run a number of childcare schemes in the North Devon England. We have a number of Xbox 360s and games. As you can imagine with so many children playing on the games the disks get damaged either by the machine itself or the
    children, and therefore unusable. Over the years we have either had to throw these away or have spent large amounts replacing the most popular games. My question is are we purchasing the game or the disk. And if the disk is damaged should this be exchanged
    for a working title. It seems that all the claims that disks are indestructible are false and therefore the games that are on the disks are being miss sold and not fit for purpose.

    I would be interested to hear from anyone on this especially Microsoft.

    HOW DO YOU GET RID OF LASER BURN?

    Like others have said, have the disk 'buffed' or resurfaced at a local shop or purchase another copy. I had this happen 'the perfect circle' condition on 2 different games. Depending on how deep the scratch is, it maybe unusable even after being buffed
    out..... GOOD LUCK !!!

  3. Xbox Team, I have come with a solution!

    Now, with the whole controversy of DRM and gamers wanting both to have their disk and some wanting the digital with DRM there is a solution. Make it so disks van be used offline, but with a twist. The ability to register your copy to link to your account.
    This will need to be done with an online connection. The only way to transfer the copy is to have the console online to sell the copy to an online hub. This will not require a connection check because disks can only be registered online. This will also render
    the disk unusable like before. Basically, use the disk to verify that the game on the console is the same as on the disk. Like before stated to make it so that you will have no piracy on this copy, the only way to install on hard drive will be to register
    the game online, using the disk to verify when offline. This will allow the previous features to be renewed and everyone wins.

    game disks unusable

    You wont get a reply from Microsoft here.

    It has never been claimed the discs are indestructible.As with all discs they can be scratched,chipped etc.

    You are buying the disc.If it gets damaged beyond repair then you need to buy it again.

    Most Game or CEX stores in the U.K. offer a cheap disc repair service which removes some scratches which might be worth checking out.

    external hard disk drive on the xbox one s digital edition

    You can attach external drives just like you can any other Xbox One. The disc based games would be the only ones unusable even if already installed to drive you need the disk in the drive to play.

    My console keeps freezing!?

    Compared to the previous comments, check all your disks to make sure there are no scratches on it. That's what usually cause my problems. Delete a couple of unused things you have. Feel me?

    Your "Do's and Dont's" for Titanfall 2

    Hmm. Both actually.

    I am a Campaign player, so if I buy a game for say $60.00 I wont said game disk to be filled to the brim with Campaign content.

    Now, you "Online gamers" may be satisfied with purchasing games which holds considerable less game content, and are willing to pay loads extra in map packs etc for it. But I simply cannot justify spending extra $ when the disk has loads of unused space.

    End of Discussion!
