How to Get a Scratched XBox 360 Game to Work With Toothpaste

Xbox 360 owners often have to deal with game discs that become scratched. Scratches can be caused by rough handling, accidental dropping or even laying a disc on a rough surface. A deep scratch can make a game disc unplayable. While there are professional companies that offer disc repair service, there is a way to attempt to repair an Xbox360 disc at home. Owners can use toothpaste to repair some scratches found on discs.
