Scratched xbox 360 games

Jan 13, 2007 2:17PM PST

I recently purchased and was playing Gears of War and when one of my friends was going to start a solo game, the system told him that the game was dirty or something. When I took the game out of the system, I saw that it was completely scratched all the way around (in a circle) the disc. I went to Best Buy to exchange it and I found another person there exchanging a game (NBA 2007) with the same problem. Is this a common problem with the 360?

The only way a disc can be scratched the way you describe is if you moved your console when it was running. Did BestBuy replace your copy? Your lucky if they did.

If you have a scratched game.

.... If there is a Hollywood Video Gamecrazy in your area you can take the game in for resurfacing. Its something like $3.00 a disc, but it sure beats having to pay for the whole game over again. I used their service a couple of times and things worked out great!
