So NS, what do? Me and my roommate already have some tension between us. It will probably end up in a little yelling back and forth, but god damn i'm pissed. I just got this game. possibly to try and get a refund through my original site that I ordered it from?

Get a friends disc, pop it into your Xbox super slot disc reader 5000, and download the game onto your hard-on drive. Problem solved.

Blockbuster (movie rental store) doesnt exist where i live anymore, BUT if such an institution exists where you live, just rent the game and swap the disks.
i did this when my cod4 got scratched no problem.

beef with roomates though, that shit sucks. been there and now that we've moved out we're slowly reconstructing our frienship

In all seriousness though do get a friends good disc and put the game on your hard drive. You'll just have to put your scratched one in to verify you actually own the game.

Well, I'm not that much of an asshole to swap out a disc from blockbuster. NO hate against people that do that.

Yah it does suck with the roommate. Started out being nice and friendly with him, but the kids an asshole. Ended all communication weeks ago.



Definitely will try to find a copy to install it on the hard drive, as the first poster said. It sounds too good to be true.

happened to my modern warfare 3 disc, get the disc from a buddy then download it to your hard drive, then you will be able to use your broken disc to play the game. problem solved.

all those games suck for scratches. Actually bought one from gamestop that never loaded up once. The one they game me is too bunk to load to my hardrive but at least it works.


That's whhy I grabbed a 250. I always download that shit to my drive. makes it run better and always scread about discs not reading.

Idk on the cod's though. Mine wouldn't even read that it was a fucking game sometimes. I think it has to be able to recognize what it is to play it even if it's on the hardrive. if it's fucked it's fucked.


fuck your roomate(not literally)

I hate people who don't respect other peoples property.

Im down with OPP

go to walmart and return it. then buy a new one. they have stupid return policies and most people that work there already hate their job enough to not care.
