good luck to get any cd-r to read, you will have some luck with cdrw's but if you want the best results, try dvd-r/rw  :beer:

Not really. If burned in a special way, you can INCREASE the chances. But for the most part, no.

1) Most Xbox games are over a GIG
2) Its called a CDRW for reason. No, erasing the CD and rewriting to it won't hurt it.
