I went to start up a game that I had rented today, and was playing earlier, but it wouldn't load. I thought that was realy wierd; I hadn't taken the disc out of the box since the last play, so it can't be scratched right? When I took the disc out I discovered a perfect ring scratched on the underside. Looking at my other Xbox games, all 2 of them, I found the same thing. Apparently my Xbox has been damaging discs when it plays them. For how long, I don't know. Searching the internet finds me people having a similar problem, but with the Xbox 360. Mine is the original, so that doesn't really help. Unless both systems are subject to the same problems. My box is sitting on the bottom of the entertainment unit, where it has always been. It doesn't get moved, though occasonaly the cord gets tripped over.
I was just wondering if anyone here has had the same problem with the old box, and if they found a way to resolve it.
