It doesn't scratch my games, it cracks them. I notice a crack on the inside rim, it sucks. The rim grows overtime and eventually breaks the game.

Though one time my 360 scratched my HAlo2 and it would load like 15% slower on loading screens. And I took it to GameCrazy to get it buffered. When I put it in the cd tray and it read the CD, the game wouldn't load. They erased it completely. UNplayable Disc. I never took a game to get buffered since then. Though my GTA4 is completely broken because of a scratch. I might be able to get that fixed, if not, back to square 1.

Get a AutoMax disc repair thing or take it to blockbuster and ask them to resurface the disc.

Yeah sadly it happens. My Dead Rising disc got ruined because of it a little while back. You just have to be really careful not to move your xbox while the disc is spinning. Thats is the only time ive had it to happen.

Maybe they did it intentionally collaborating with game makers so you buy the game again after it cracks. My old PS1 & PS2 never cracked any disc. But that's just a theory. Funny thing is when I was playing a game that I rented, it was making a loud noise so I flipped the XBOX to vertical position & it made this noise that's like grinding inside so I turned it off. I thought the XBOX was done for but it was ok but the disc was scratched to perfection .

KEEP YOUR DISK ITS NOT USELESS!!!

i say this cause you can Install a Rented or your friends game onto the 360

then after its installed give that disk back to your friend! or the place you rented it from!

you can do this when the FALL UPDATE comes out this fall .. hopfuly soon!

although you disc may be scratched .. your xbox could still probly read the disc for ownership

and you can still play your GTA IV!!

If your Confused let me know..
