How many scratches on a disc is too many?

I am super careful with my discs, and freak when ever I get a minor smudge or scuff on one (which is next to never) but I was just wondering how much abuse can a disc take before it becomes unreadable to the xbox?

The discs at my local Game store look really bad I am amazed that they even play. I know my music cd's (some of them) are terribly scuffed but seem to play skip free, is this pretty much the case with my 360 or is it mush more sensative than your typical cd/dvd reader.

Thanks

Any and all scratches are bad. Just try your best not to scratch it.

It pretty depends on how deep the scratch is, one deep scratch could render it unreadable but a few small scuffs probably wouldn't do anything.gamerfreak1991

It has to many scratches if it doesnt work when you put it in your system :P Ive had games that were really scratched up (over 100) and they worked fin and ive had games with maybe 1 or 2 scratches that dont work.

Sometimes my disks are completly scratched and work fine... then other times I will have one scratch and my games will not work.

If you want the game to work it wont work. Murpheys law.
