Crackd Discs

[Dohc-WP]

Has anyone experienced getting crackd discs after playing a game on their 360 ! i currently have two games which i have noticed have cracked ! I dont know if its the 360 doing the cracking or those crappy 1st gen jewel cases ! All my discs are now kept in a spindle as a precaution ! im getting sick of replacing my crackd discs everytime

tough one - my old xbox used to scratch disks but not crack disks - i suspect the lense was set too close to the surface. my newer, shinier working xbox does no such thing.

i doubt its your xbox - but do a cautionary search on google

Scratches I've heard of, but not cracks. I suspect you're right about those dumbass jewel cases.

or those crappy 1st gen jewel cases !

All of mine came in the same boxes often used for DVDs. I have DVDs that are 9 years old and have been in and out of those boxes many times. Not one cracked disc.

I started to use a DVD folder for my games to avoid the cracks.

We all know that but the centre part that holds the discs on the xbox jewel cases are different than those on normal dvd cases !

I've experienced the same thing. It's the crappy cases the games come in. Keep it in a different CD holder or something. My 'DiRT' cd cracked and I begged the supplier to replace my disc, I was lucky enough to get a replacement, but I don't think they will replace it again.

No, they're not. A big chunk of my DVD collection has those same cases. No cracked discs after 9 years of taking them out and putting them back many times. Xbox 1 games used the same boxes as well. Haven't cracked any of those either.

Those are exactly the ones. No cracked discs.

Please post a pic of your normal dvd cases with the centre part thats the same as the 1st gen xbox cases !

Last time i Checked almost all my normal dvd cases have a centre ring that looks this

Maybe you should just read what I wrote.

What about your abnormal DVD cases?

It remains a mystery how some people manage to break their discs. It must be the clip's fault. Naturally.
