Anyone who owns an Xbox 360 is familiar with its "quirks". As awesome as it is it can be very loud, breaks down at a very high rate (red ring of death, anyone?) and can have air circulation problems. Some of us, however, are well versed in another of its not so lovable peculiarities: sometimes the DVD drive itself scratches the game discs as it spins them. This can cause them anything from relatively minor, cosmetic damage to a scratch that makes the disc unusable. Given that the Xbox DVD drives already have trouble sometimes reading games that are in anything less than pristine condition, even a minor scratch can have catastrophic consequences. The solution I have found that has worked best is to play Xbox 360 backup games instead. Data on game discs is so plentiful that it has to be compressed and super concentrated so that it can fit. Furthermore, games are designed in such a way that they need to access data constantly from all areas of the disc. There is no way to "skip" past a damaged segment, as with DVD's, because games are not segmental. There is literally no way to tell when a scratch has hit a particularly destructive area on the surface of the disc until it is too late, nor is there any way to prevent scratches from ever occurring. Anything from packaging to storage to handling to children to pets can damage a game disc, significantly altering its game play or rendering it forever useless. The best way and only way to avoid damaging your game discs is to never use them at all, to play Xbox 360 backup games in their stead. Making a backup is not only entirely legal if you own the game but it is relatively easy, requiring just a specific piece of software and a computer. google_ad_client="pub-2311940475806896";google_ad_slot="0098904308";google_ad_width=300;google_ad_height=250;It does not even require the installation of a Mod chip. You can take all the necessary steps yourself.
