Question 05-05-2008, 10:42 AM

The date of the model was 2008-03-10 so its a brand new version of the console.

This is my choice, please help me decide:

I can keep the disk and the console and -
  • Can get the disk 'Skimmed' for £1.50 from where I bought it from (takes a few days)
  • Can use toothpaste/brasso method for now
or
  • Send the console back to Microsoft to get repaired and hopefully get Microsoft to pay for the scratched GTA4 disk too (will all take about 3 weeks)
Can't decide, because what if it scratches disks again.....

the disc skimmers dont repair the 360 discs well enough as when we did them when i worked in gamestation it didnt make much difference as most the rings on the discs went into the data layer.

get the console repaired because if its done it once then it will do it again

I had the ring of death on mine - sent it off to Microsoft and it was returned in just over a week - definately worth sending off, as it is likely to happen again if its done it once before!
