Anyone who has a Xbox 360 is acquainated with its 'peculiarities'. As wonderful 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, nevertheless, are well versed in another of its not so appealing features: sometimes the DVD drive itself damages the game discs as it turns them. This can lead to anything from essentially minor, cosmetic damage to a scrape that makes the disc unusable. Conceded that the Xbox DVD drives already have a hard time sometimes reading games that are in anything less than flawless condition, even a minor scrape can have catastrophic outcomes. The solution I have set up that has fulfilled my needs is to use Xbox 360 backup games as an alternative.
Information on game discs is so dense that it has to be made more compact and super dense so that it can fit. In addition, games are contrived in such a manner that they have to access information constantly from all areas of the disc. There is no way to 'jump' past a ruined segment, as with DVD's, since games are not compartmented. There is literally no way to tell when a scrape has hit a specifically destructive region on the surface of the disc until it is too late, nor is there any form to prevent scratches from ever occurring. Anything from packaging to preservation to handling to children to pets can ruin a game, in a significant matter alterning its gameplay or rendering it forever unplayable.
The best manner and only manner to avoid damaging your game discs is to never use them at all, to use Xbox 360 backup games in their stead. Making a backup is not just entirely legitimate if you own the game yet it is relatively uncomplicated, requiring just a given computer program and a computer. It does not indeed require the putting in of a Mod chip. You are able to do all the necessary steps unsupervised.
