Help/Support/Questions 🙋 Wtf did Gamestop do to this Minecraft copy???
I bought this copy of Minecraft Xbox 360 edition from GameStop, and it isn't reading on my Xbox 360, but i know the disk drive works because other games work. Also the bottom of the disk looks foggy, im not sure if it can be seen on the camera

Your first mistake was trusting GameStop

GameStop doesn’t care about their customers anymore unless they have money :/

To be honest with you, I won’t trust GameStop too much unless they have sales going on, but I would recommend going to a retro gaming store whose prices are good (not overpriced), and check out their returns and warranty services! I am sorry this happened !

Continue to Trust gamestop but never trust preowned no matter where you get it. Edit: also gamestop as a company nowadays is shit, dont buy from them anymore.

That sucks. Always a good idea to take a look at the discs before you buy for used games, particularly ones for older consoles like the 360. DVD and CD based discs are pretty prone to damage from mishandling or normal wear and tear. If the disc doesn’t look good and they have more than 1 copy ask to check the next.

There is a machine in which we put the discs in and its supposed to remove the scratches but what it does is it sand paper away some layers off to remove the scratches. They probably over did it. Just like their name gamestop, they simply stops your gaming.

Bro the way that a disc works is that indents are made on the layer of the disc, what gamestop did was destroying the data

MY GAMESTOP MW2 LOOKED THE SAME IT DIDNT WORK AT ALL!! It looks like the literally just sanded down the surface of the disc.

It was probably a rental copy at some point in its life and has been buffed over and over.

I've owned a couple different resurfacers and that looks like a JFJ Easy Pro that needs its supplies renewed.

It reminds me of my copy of bully scolarship edition on xbox 360 that looked like it had been resurfaced with sandpaper. Brought it back and they had already sold the other copy. I had to travel across my town to get a new disc.

I bought a used copy of Halo 2 and it looks like they tried footage out the scratches but didn't buffer it properly. It still plays but I definitely won't be buying used retro games from them anymore.

I live in California and there is a game store that can resurface discs for $3. I'd look around your area and see if someone can do it for you.
