My brother recently got an Xbox 360, and I decided to purchase FFXIII to go along with it.

Due to my brother kicking the Xbox over, the laser scratched the disc and now there's a mahoosive scratch ring all around the inside. I've taken it to be cleaned by a professional and reduced the scratch size significantly, but it's not a whole lot better gameplay wise.

Will taking it to be cleaned again make a difference, or should I give up and rebuy the game? It's only disc 1 and I really don't wanna shell out another 30 pound.
 
Installing a game to the hard drive only makes a game run faster, like decrease load times... it doesn't make it so you can play it off the hard drive unfortunately... I think you are kinda screwed Diar dear. Your disc is ruined... there isn't much you can do once that happens... It's one of the Xbox's biggest faults IMO that there isn't anything actually HOLDING the disc in place like the PS2 had the spindle thingie.
 
Aw crap. Would getting it professionally cleaned again make a difference?
 
No, it wouldn't Diar. I don't know exactly how to explain it like Chris explained to me, but it absolutely has ruined the disc. there is no way to fix it. You'll have to rebuy it unfortunately.
 
I understand. Thanks guys. You can close this thread now if you like.
