I got Street Fighter 4 last Friday. I've been enjoying the game; I was playing today online and I won three in a row. I was pretty psyched since I hadn't done that before. Immediately after that I lost 5 in a row, the fifth being a loss at the hands of a complete noobie playing as Cammy. I got angry. I slammed my Xbox controller down and, quite literally- not to mention regrettably- punched my Xbox 360 as hard as I could. It turned off. It still works. Unfortunately my Street Fighter 4 disc has gotten scratched. It works up until a point; then I get a disc read error prompt and am told to try to clean it.
That's actually the story behind my question: I know that you can download your games onto your Xbox for "faster load times." I haven't done this yet. If I get another, working copy of Street Fighter 4, download it onto my Xbox 360 harddrive, can I then just put my scratched disc into the tray and will I be able to play? I really would not like to shell out another sixty bucks for the game...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
EDIT: It appears as if in my desperation I have made a typo in the title. Sorry, that is meant to say "major"
Hello I have a majoy dilemma
Nobody has ever gotten anywhere by dragon punching their xbox

There was speculation about whether this would work, before the NXE launched, but I haven't heard of anything since.

Good luck, though!
The major problem here must be that you still have a functioning xbox after hitting it as hard as you can. Its not exactly build to withstand punishment. Just do some weights everyday and buld up your upper body strength. Then you'll be dragon punching 360's into oblivion in no time. Also dont be a retard and hit your equipment if you dant want it damaged and cant afford it replaced. Easy.

Why would punch an inanimate object after losing matches against people you don't know in a game you are relatively new to? I've never got why people try and break their own property after losing at a game (a game, as in for fun).
But on topic, have you tried installing your scratched copy of SF4? It may not run from the disc but there's a chance it may install.
Lol, that's pretty funny. But yeah, I would at least give renting it and installing it a try. I mean, worst comes to worst you're out like 7 bucks.
Just rent another copy of Street Fighter IV, put your disk in the case then return it claiming that the game does not work for a free refund.

Maybe I did get what I deserved for both A)losing five times in a row, and to a noob playing as Cammy and B) having a tantrum, but nobody ever tries to break their stuff. Thanks for the suggestion; it turns out the game works... so long as I don't play as Sagat or Gen. No idea why; Gen I can live without, but Sagat...
"Majoy."Yeah, you are clever. Unfortunately I already addressed it. It's okay though, your post was equally as useful as all the others here. I am so glad this forum helped me yet again. You guys never cease to amaze me.
Dude, don't admit to yer typos and people will just assume they're out of the geek speak loop.
Dude, barrow a copy from a friend and find out...damn...ya need a forum to tell you to do that?
"Dude, don't admit to yer typos and people will just assume they're out of the geek speak loop.Dude, barrow a copy from a friend and find out...damn...ya need a forum to tell you to do that?"I'm not asking for a forum to tell me to do anything. I'm asking the forum if it is even possible. I still don't know. I'm not going to bother if it doesn't work.
is it really that bothersome to barrow a copy and find out on yer own..to posses this knowledge they we here lack..think of the potential power you shall have in any given conversation! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
"Why would punch an inanimate object after losing matches against people you don't know in a game you are relatively new to? I've never got why people try and break their own property after losing at a game (a game, as in for fun)."Why do people yell at sports on TV? No need to get all self-righteous.
OP, do you have any local game stores that repair discs? Places like Blockbuster do that for cheaper than a rental, and it cuts a thin layer off the disc so it reads cleaner. I did it for my Gears of War when my Xbox chewed it up.
"mr_registered said:That's probably what I am going to do. For now I've just not been playing as or against Sagat or Gen and it's been fine, but eventually I am going to have to fix it heh..."Why would punch an inanimate object after losing matches against people you don't know in a game you are relatively new to?
