Boiling an Xbox 360 DVD

[BigEyeGreedy]

Didn't work!

[EngNaruSuks]

WHAT IS A WHITE MAN DOING WITH CHOPSTICKS?

[goblew14]

What if you did it twice and it didnt work

[Deekman]

@goblew14 Time for a new disk... or more victory beans

[Suvorov928]

WTF?? Man am I glad I have a PS3 and Blu Ray

[Chappified]

13 Hippopotamuses is quite the time span you use in British Columbia or what ever British colony you 'hail' from.

[Deekman]

@Chappified Australia, but I now live in Canada so the accents kind of merge

[TheRoyalReg1]

@Chappified ur an idiot and a geographical half-wit

[Chappified]

@TheRoyalReg1 I'm sorry I affended you random internet douche, I will be more careful with your ADHD controled spaz attacks, but anything but reply to my comment. It just is the only way to make a point, and oh, it is just plain insulting. Excuse me, but I have to go back living a life.

I tried this with my Lost Odyssey 4 disk last night as well (like a lot of people it seems) and it just installed a charm, thanks :D

[jeriwii]

Tried this on my Lost Odyssey disc 4 and now it works perfectly thank you very much :)

[RememberTomorrow93]

shit, I forgot the victory beans.

[ronniekyo]

Try the game dr.

[DoktorTrask]

None deforming of the disc?

[TRIBALIZIED]

Victory beans?

hippopotamuses?

This is awesome.

[deadclown001]

That was only 8 hippopotamuses

[UnStupified]

@moloveta I think the boiling the disc makes it melt slightly so that the scratchs get filled in.

[Deekman]

@UnStupified @moloveta actually when the disc is pressed it gets covered with a layer of film. The DVDs are supposed to be dipped in a solution to set the film on the disc correctly but cheaply made disks or errors can happen and the film is not set correctly. Boiling the disk sets the film to the disk. It won't remove deep scratches but it will help with manufacturing errors.

[Deekman]

Which part isn't an xbox DVD?

[PaytonJonesTV]

15 hipopotomoses? LMAO!

[xLeGiiTGamiinGx]

this isint a xbox 360 dvd retard xD

[Protoking]

I have one of the faulty MW2 discs they made for the 360, this allowed it to read the disc enough to bring up the install menu so I can install it.

Nice trick, no victory beans though.

[moloveta]

so...does this reduse scratches or something? probs

[TheEdder]

This worked for me, thanks!

[5olidsn4ke]

fisrt good vid i saw about jerkbox360 ^^

[phillyrepn]

Victory Beans......lmao

[achenx754]

ugh didnt work, im gonna try again

[Mecandes]

Thanks mate, this fixed an Xbox 360 rental Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 disc!

[TerrorAndTinseltown]

dude, you're an epic hero and a true legend. this made my game work. thanks.

[allcheesezup]

the victory beans are essential to the entire process and im gunna try this out on my OXM disk that doesnt work right now!

[Deekman]

I actually have to do this to a couple of my latest OXM disks they're notoriously bad

[zedmlftw1023]

@Deekman is it true that in australia the water in the toilet spins counter clockwise? and if so does that mean your faucets point UP so the water pours out? and is the hot water handle located on the left side like in america or is it on the right side. and does the hot water faucet pour out cold water?

[allcheesezup]

this didnt work for me ): but then again it has those big cercular scratches on it...

[Lucario1423]

does it work on DEEP Scratched CDs(thats why mine wont work

[Grizzly696]

VICTORY BEANS WOOOOOO! awesome video m8!

[Tasuki]

Worked pretty well with my PSX game. 15 Hippopotamuses...haha.

[hairyLGS]

How about sometimes can read and sometimes can't read Xbox Disc? Will it work? I always have problem reading my Guitar Hero II game... due to scratches...

[Deekman]

This doesn't take out scratches this just melts the coating left on the disk by some suppliers (Xbox magazine usually has a problem like this) For scratches I suggest taking it to your local video rental store and seeing if they can resurface the disk.

[hairyLGS]

Ah... thanks... my GH2 disc is giving me problems... my 360 can't read the disc properly and I have to pop in and out many times before it can read... thanks for the info...

[GS9891]

Hehe, actually worked. Thanks. :D

[PeglegJimmy]

I'm gonna try this with one of my Sega Dreamcast demos, and if that works, my normal games :D

And I need to remember my victory beans.

[shredtheibanez]

the funny thing is, years ago when i heard about this i was like .. hahah bullshit.. then i tried it.. now everyones doing it.. and the best part is.. it really does work.. it cleanes off durt and acids on the disc where as disk cleaners put crappy shit all over your disc... nice vid man :) lol victory beans :)

[Deekman]

In theory yes but I have not tried.

If you simply have no other way of getting your disk to work then heck yeah give this a try!

I wrote a full article on my experience with it over on my website.

[Deekman]

When your demo disk doesn't work.

[peteb1313]

When would you use this?

[DX1020]

YAY VICTORY BEANZ

[Deekman]

Yes it definatly works. I was skeptical at first aswell (that's why I only tried it with Demo disks) but after my first one was done and it works perfectly now I'm not as worried any more. Just remember not to over do it 15 seconds tops.

You can ask on the OXM forums or the teamxbox forums that's where I got the instructions before making this video.

[SBDONKS575JEANS]

does this really work cause i dont want to try it and it doesnt work

[Deekman]

No this just works for games where the film on top hasn't set properly from the manufacturer.

This isn't a way to get rid of scratches. You can try and take it into a video store and getting them to try and buff it out.
