I've tried disk doctors, toothpaste, and of course my first resort of repeatedly taking them to GameCrazy to use their professional disk machine.

Most of my XBox games are used, and I picked up a whole bunch of non-working ones. I never had this kind of luck on PS2 or GC, is the XBox more sensitive to scratches? I tried using Brasso on Morrowind, as it was the least working one and many people suggest it's the best solution. I think I did it wrong, because the CD looks much worse and has many more light scratches.

Unless somebody here with experience can tell me (possibly with a video) exactly how to fix CD's with Brasso, I'm just going to call shenanigans and send them in the mail for more expensive, time-consuming, and likely more effective repair.

I've heard great things too, that's why I tried it. I've heard it's better than Disk Doctors from some sites, but I guess some level of considerable technique is required, 'cause I've put a lot of time and elbow grease into trying to fix Morrowind, and it's actually gotten worse.

I'm afraid I had already tried RazorG's method as well. That actually was the last one I tried, and it scratched the hell out of my disk, too. :(
