    Does anyone here know where I could find some pictures of 360 disks with Ring Burn, or have some experience to share to help me work out what is going on ?
     
    I took a recently purchased,unwrapped and HD installed on Wednesday game from its box to put it back in in the 360 to play today and noticed a very very fine hairline full circular mark on the disk. Ive checked all my other recant game purchases that have been installed and out of the 6 disks only this one and prehaps one other have any marks of a cicular patten at all.  I am pretty worried about this due to having to use my Slim vertically recently for various reasons however the console is on a very solid table and I don't go near or touch/nudge the 360 if there is a disk spinning, and Ive made sure there is no disk in the drive before moving it ( even when the console is powered off i still do this)

    It's probably nothing. Depending on how much data is written on the disk there may be a line around the edge. Try google images for pics though.

    that faint line is produced during the disk manufacturing process, these larger companies dont burn the dvds, rather they are "stamped on" for lack of a proper term

    when I was in the cd/dvd duplication business we'd see this all the time, most notable game for this is condemned 2 looks really close but you can tell because you can't feel it.  real bun ins can be felt with a finger or thin cloth. As long as you install your games the disc only moves to check it and thats not fast enough or long enough to do it.
