First, he's not stupid, he's 3.  


Second, you can clean them sometimes.  Take windex, and clean all the actual dirt off of the bottom of it.  As for the scratches, use a good carnuba car wax on the bottom of the CD... the kind that's liquid and comes in  a bottle, not paste or anything like that, you'll scratch the shit out of it.  You're trying to polish it.  when they get scratched, usually it doesn't actually destroy any of the data, it just makes the laser in the X-box skip when it hits the jagged scratch.  If you polish the bottom of it with wax, the laser will glide right over the scratch and will still play.  

It won't work if it's really really badly scratched, though.

No kindergarten will take him anymore cause he always beats the other kids, throws toys and stones around etc etc.. that's why he's even here half of  each week in the first place. I guess he knew what he was doing... he's so evil

Magloire
Duncan
Anthony
James
Wagner

Don't worry Seven, your franchise is just fine.  Your season, franchise, and any other save you ever made is on the xbox hard-drive.  All you gotta do is:

1) Clean the current disc by what Smile said, or just get a Game Doctor

2) If its really that bad, just get a new disc, and continue your amazing franchise.
