Fix a laser burn?

[Aedros]

Last I checked, Xbox's were read-only and didn't posses the capability to 'burn' anything.

What you have there sir, is a scratch. It sounds like it's circular (not across the disc, but around it), and therefore, highly unlikely to be repaired.

Actually, data layer on printed disc is much closer to the label side of the disc than the bottom for the exact reason that small scratches there will not destroy the discs too easily. Burned discs is another thing, there the data is recorded at/near the outer bottom of the disc and sanding off the disc with repair tool will actually wipe everything out of it.

The plastic layer at the bottom of the disc is still quite thick, I don't think a disc repair tool would take off so much as to get anywhere near the label, really. Circular scratches like OPs can be fixed by the repair tool if they aren't too deep (confirmed by my friend who worked in gamestation, has 2 dogs and had an early xbox 360, who said that they don't charge for the circular types of scratches as it doesn't always fix them).

Sigh, I wish I could buy games as cheap as US$40. :<
It's like, nothing. A new game in Sweden costs like 112US$.
