How many discs has your xbox 360 ruined?

[Jerome9157]

0. Although my Xbox Original "chocked" on a cd of "500 miles" by the pretenders, and was forever unable to read discs. My Xbox Chocked to death.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

None.
However, my friend's xboxes killed three. Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins and Halo 3.

Zero.

Although (I'm not sure about the Slim models, the issue may have been corrected with those), vertical-standing 360s are notorious for "ringing" your discs.
I'm a little unsure as to how it "ate" your disc by playing as soon as it was inserted. Are we talking about a game console, or a VCR that's been on the fritz for years?

Ate as in it never comes back to working order again.
It makes a grinding noise while it does this, though I've had people have 360s actually eat a disc a few times to where I would have to take it apart.
And again how is making a mistake once or twice stupid. I mean I could say that people not knowing about the issue are stupid just as easily for not knowing.

I didn't suggest there being any stupidity involved. I was simply mystified by the idea of putting the disc in, it booting, and immediately grinding itself (as I've never experienced this on any disc-based electronic component, myself). More or less, I thought it odd that you specified the game booting straight-away as a factor. The word "ate" just made me think of the VCR metaphor...because I've definitely caught that one a good few times!

It getting caught to the point that you have to peel the shell leads me to think that your tray might just be worn somewhere along the edge, and the disc is slipping off when it spins.

I think my original 360 ate Ninetey-Nine-Nights shortly before it gave up the ghost and died, but none since then. (I couldn't really blame it for destroying that particular game though....)

Wow, ours must have been conspiring with each other..that's the same game it ruined on mine too. Can't believe I had to go out and buy another copy of that thing. I think it happened when I had my XBOX standing vertical. Ever since then, I've never turned it on unless it was lying flat first.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Neither of my 360's ever ruined any discs. But my old power chord completely fried my old one.

 

[Eatbrainz]

Modern Warfare 2 and The Orange Box.

 

[Chrono212]

None.
I wasn't aware that it did destroy disks.
Other than turning it on it's side while the disk was spinning.

 

[jbchillin]

my original xbox which i had for about 3 years didnt scratch a single disc. ive only had my new slim for a few months but it hasnt hurt any discs either.

 

[V TheSystem V]

No disks ruined, but my mate's Crysis 2 disk doesn't work now. No scratches or anything, just won't let me continue with the story.

 

[imnot]

none my freinds did once but thats because he moved it while the game was on, smart move there twatface!

 

[Grospoliner]

Same here. Though I keep my xbox horizontal so this problem doesn't occur.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

It ruined a copy of Prototype I rented, but that's because the whole Xbox fell of my shelf.

(Oddly enough only the disk broke, the 360 was fine)

I took it as divine providence and didn't bother getting a new copy.

 

[thelonewolf266]

My Call of Duty 4 has a massive crack through the entire disc which I have no idea how it got so that could have been cause by the Xbox(but I doubt it) apart from that I've never had any disc broken plus that disc for some reason still works which makes no sense.

 

[TheTygerfire]

One, but that's only because we stupidly tried to move it while it was on.

 

[Irriduccibilli]

None, I believe an Xbox only ruins the discs when you move it around when the disc is running. I usually install the games on my harddrive, so I dont have any problems with it

 

[tappajasieni]

None so far. Fingers crossed.

 

[The Random One]

I'm tempted to say two, but both of them were FUEL, two distinct copies. One of them was from a Gamefly-like service and the disk was more criscrossed than the game's map, so it was no surprise, but the other one was a preowned disk that was almost spotless, so I'm blaming it on FUEL and not my poor 360.

It runs well now that I've installed it, though.

Meh, your loss. I thought it was a pretty fun game, and the music was awesome. Although the endings seemed half-a$$ed, incomplete, and token I must admit...It didn't motivate me enough to buy the sequel if I was just going to be going through all the same motions again, one game full of that was enough. (That and it looked like my favorite character was left out anyways, so why bother)
