Hey all

So my copy of UFC has been scratched and won't load, gets as far as loading the save data then hangs. Also hangs at 60 something % when copying it to the HDD.

Very annoying! The scratch looks like a perfect circle or near enough so it must have been the 360 that did it, perhaps it got moved? I have an elite and I thought these problems went away?

Have M$ changed their policy and replace any games? Or I could try removing the scratch... or even better, could I rent a copy of UFC, install it and use my game disc to boot it? Hopefully it doesn't lock to your specific disc? Confused

Thanks

You could rent and install on your console and use your disc to boot it. My friend did that with his rock band 2 and fable 2 and I do that with my army of two. Even better if your friend has the game so that you can barrow it and install it and use your disc. Free for you.

Or you could just go and rent the game, swap the discs out and take it back saying it was scratched when you got home. My friend did that with his COD 4, and since I've had them scratched to the point where they don't work before they will take it back.

The disc sounds beyond repair, either try installing with another copy or buy a new one.

No it wont lock it mate.. You should be able to install another version to your hdd that works then use your scratched disc to get your game to boot.

give it a go.

Thanks for the hints guys.

Been wanting to install GTA4 but there is a minuscule scratch on it.
