I recently decided to sell all of my old Xbox 360 games that I have lying around. However, I noticed the underside of about a quarter my old Xbox 360 games have started to turn brown and purple around the rim of the disc. Here is a picture of one of the discs: http://imgur.com/XHwXI On the left and right side you can see the discoloration. The picture makes it look brown, but it really looks more purple than brown. I've got a bunch of old CDs and DVDs laying around, but I only notice the problem on my Xbox 360 games. Some of my discs that have this problem get an unreadable disc error, and I know they used to work just fine, so I do not know if the discoloration is possibly related to the discs no longer being readable. Does anyone know what this is? Has anyone else ever had this problem? Thanks
firstly i dont have a xbox but my friend did. he brought fifa 13 and the next day it didnt work cause his xbox laser burnt his cd because the cd had brown discoloration to the cd. but dont really know if this is true though.
I've never heard of that problem before.. weird. Obviously you want be able to sell any of them since they don't work and no one would buy brown discoulored discs. Shame.

Yeah, that's what really sucks. Though, if it was just discoloration, I don't think it would be too hard to sell them. But the fact that it may be making some of the discs unreadable makes the games a lot harder to sell. What I really don't get is why this has happened with so many of my Xbox 360 discs, yet I can't find anything on the internet about it.
Do you store the 360 disc separate from your other DVDs? If the games haven't been played in awhile, then it might have something to do with where/how they're stored. Unfortunately, to really test that out it would take time. Although, maybe you could try testing out some DVDs you don't care about in the 360 and see what happens.

Some of the discs were stored in their cases, and others were stored out of their case simply stacked on top of each other. The problem seems to affect both storage solutions equally. I've got a bunch of DVDs that have been stored randomly around my house, many in the same room as my old Xbox 360 games, and they do not at all seem to be affected.
