I turned on my 360 last night and accidentally knocked it over while my Guitar Hero 2 was in the disc drive.  It made a huge ring around the disc and now it does not work.  I had heard of this happening before and I heard that Microsoft had a new thing now where you can send in your game as long as it is published by Microsoft.  Because Guitar Hero 2 is not, does anyone know what I can do?  Thanks a lot.

If it's scratched too bad you probably have to get a new disc.

So there's no way of sending it to the publisher and getting a new one for a smaller price?  I'm probably just going to have to but a new disc altogether?

So you suggest putting toothpaste on the disc and cleaning it?

that works.  put toothpaste on the disc, clean it off with water.  removes most scratches.

No offense, but that's rather a useless purchase.  the odds of the system scratching a game are probably 1 in 20 games if you're careful enough, and maybe never if you take good care of your discs.  Going by my formula, for the price you'd end up spending just to fix one broken disc, you could have afforded to just buy another game.

well, you can take it back if its only like a week old, or hopefully you bought the game insurance for a few dollars, i think they still do that, lol, i just put it horizontally now, well after my mom knocked it over and blamed me. other then that, sorry to tell you, but you will have to buy a new copy,

Leave your 360 flat. Moving it while a disk is spinning will always scratch the disc.

Mos publishers will replace it for a fee. I think Activision published that game so they will replace it for $20.00

Wow, that's a rock n' roll story if I ever heard one. "Accidentally" tipped over the 360 while playing Guitar Hero II? Yup, sure. Sucks to hear that the disc got scratched, but you might as well own up to your unbridled pseudo-guitar-playing passion.

i go to game crazy, they have the best deals for used games, and most of the workers are honest enough not to sell you a bad used game. i also got my elite there, best trade in values.
