'Skate' on Xbox 360: Disc Compatibility & Troubleshooting

The Skate series (1, 2, 3) was released for Xbox 360, not the original Xbox. If you see an error saying "for Xbox," check:

1. Disc Label: Confirm it says "Xbox 360," not "Xbox" (original). Original Xbox discs are physically different (DVD-9 vs DVD-DL) and won't work.
2. Digital Version: If downloaded, ensure it's the Xbox 360 marketplace version, not an original Xbox backward-compat title (Skate isn't BC).
3. Console Health: Clean disc (microfiber, center-out). Try other games. Clear cache (System Settings → Memory → Clear System Cache).
4. Region Match: Disc region (NTSC-U/C, PAL, NTSC-J) must match console region.

If the disc is correct and other games work, the disc or drive laser may be failing.
