Hello. I was just wondering, could someone post the best Xbox cleaner and tell me if it is worth it or not.

What the heck is a Xbox cleaner?

[Spaz]

I used a cd cleaner on my XBOX once and it stop reading DVD's. Took two weeks to get it back from Microsoft. Only buy one that is made for the XBOX.

[legacy-crazzyTHEking]

Oh so it just dusts it off or what.

[Spaz]

If its what I think he wants its a cd/dvd that has a brush to clean the DVD-ROM lens inside the drive.

Compressed gas cleaners get a good amount of crap outa the system, the x box is nothin more than a nerfed computer, clean it like you would a computer.

You can buy one down at Gamestop.

I guess I will not be cleaning my Xbox. Oh well, it doesn't even need a cleaning. I have only had it for about two years.

You can, just make sure to get one that is made for it. A cheap Wal-Mart cleaner is what killed my DVD-ROM. Good thing Microsoft was nice enough to pay for shipping both ways and to fix it for free.

Don't us those, I did it a few times, but everytime the problem seemd to get worse, the best way is to screw open the case and clean the lens by hand.

[legacy-Brandon]

I am going to try that.

"i would clean my xbox every couple of time weeks it will destroy your lens the xbox wont have beable to read anything."

First of all, I have no experience on cleaning Xboxes, and I basically have no theoretical knowledge about it either, but being compulsive about cleaning is never a good thing of course!
It's just like defragging your hard disk.
It'll help, sure, but you shouldn't do it every week or your hard disk will just wear down in no time.
The same with polishing metals, the "dirt" is actually oxydized metal, sometimes even forming a protective layer, so everytime you remove that layer you wear down your metal.
In short, never overdo your cleaning. :)

I am just going to leave my Xbox the way it is, it is clean enough.

Why would you even need it
