Today I tried Rainbox Six Vegas and I get an unplayable disc error and the game refuses to load. Im like WTF, I played this just the other day and now it doesnt work! GRRRRR! So I try it a few more times and its still not working. Now the other day when I last played the game, it was unprinted. I havent played it since I printed it so I figure printing on the discs has an affect on them in some way. I have a good 30 odd printed games. So I start trying a few others. FEAR. The title screen loads, I load my game and I start playing. 5 minutes in and I get a disc error and the game crashes. I try Ninety Nine Nights. The game title screen doesnt even load. Disc error. I try Chromehounds. Disc error. I start stressing. lol. I load up Viva Pinata and I play the game for an hour with no problems.

So now I wonder is it the printed discs that are causing this issue or is there something wrong with my 360 dvd drive? I try a couple of my originals and they work fine and I played them each for a short while with no problems. I still have the Rainbox Six Vegas image so if I burn another copy onto an unprinted disc. Ill play the game and play the game and if it doesnt screw up, I am NEVER EVER printing my discs EVER again. If it does screw up I have a problem with my drive at which point I might be able to use a lens cleaner or just have to replace it!

Anyone else print the 360 discs with or without problems?

Never print any of mine, although I have read in a few places of people having issues with their games after they print stuff onto the disc, so it could well be the problem. I don't think you're drive will be the issue if it's playing originals fine and *some* backups, so I wouldn't stress and would just put it down to the fact the disc's have been printed on Smile

Thanks for your reassuring reply. I feel much better! They do look 10 times better when printed but what good are they if they dont work afterwards? lol. An even more expensive but very nice looking coaster! Sad

I cant understand why printing on the disks would sop the 360 reading them. After all the printed side is not read by the lazer.. I print all my Xbox and ps2 disks cos my writing looks like a 3 yr olds Laughing

But if they work without printing, then dont print them.. just a bit curious as to why it would make such a difference?

Could just be damaging the discs from the printer itself, like getting the ink on the data side of the disc which could possibly slightly nip onto the other side of the disc making the disc break (becomes unreadable or readable but damaged). Plus adding any types of sealant comes with the same risk. Hell, might just even be the disks being iffy with the drives Smile (Hitachi's can be tempermental if you have a Hitachi drive).

It is indeed an Hitachi and I dont print covers because I keep all my discs in a zipped up disc holder.
