I've never had a problem with a game disk in my life. Probably because I treat them well.

my friends gears of war disc had the same problem, and you said the exact same thing he did about putting the disc in the case too rough lol

all i know is you will probably have to buy a new gears disc if you want to play again.

Same thing happened to me and my friend. Was it a collectors edition? Both of ours where and they cracked. Just wondering if that was it.

Yeah I have the same problem with Socom 3 but the crack hasn't gotten to the shiny part of the disc yet. You can probably get it exchanged though because it's due to faulty casing.

Dishonesty is stupid and it sucks that people have no morals and feel it's ok. If you didn't buy it at a store then don't cheat the system and try to take it back to that store. I know it's the cool thing to do right now,  and it's done so much by people nowadays it's almost considered acceptable. I for one hope my son or I never stoop as low as to have it be ok to lie and cheat. Congrats to all the dishonest people with no integrity.

By the way I'm not saying just roll over and take it. If it broke and you didn't do anything out of the ordinary call MS and demand a new one, just be honest and tell them the 360 broke it if it did. If they say no, tell them you understand there position but don't accept it and need to pursue it further. You can be honest and still get something done about it. Dishonesty sucks although many here seem to find it cool.

You should trade in R6V for Gears
Man R6V got boring fast,Gears owns R6 times a million!
Traded my R6V for Crackdown and loving it.

do u people not understand the ways of getting your money back. OK here is what you do man. Go to a store, best buy, whatever is around you and buy a new copy of the game. open it take it home switch the disk with your disk that is broken go back to the store and tell them that the copy u purchased would not work in your system and you dont know why. you then get a new copy by trading in your broken disk and keeping the good disk at home, keep it for a few days then take it back with your new receipt and get the money back, you will have spent the initial 60 to get the game and then put the money out to get a new copy for a few days. flawless plan.zeldafan00013

Weak idea.  Way to rip people off.  I hope your game breaks or you get the three rings of death

Ok here we go man, u clearly state u think im dishonest for my opinion on the situation thats fine. I have only done it once myself and i returned the game about 20 min after i bought it because i moved the system on accident and put a big circle ring on the bottom but FYI the store sends the game back to the company and gets money back for it. They do not loose out at all. the only people that loose out are the consumers that purchased the game only to have it break in the first place. Its life man, live it, do what you have to do so that you dont get ripped of by multibillion dollar companies, lossing 60 dollars for microsoft is nothing, these game companies pay millions to make these games so you know they are not loosing anything. Man i have some of the highest self morals but when i have been cheated of something i find a way to fix it, even if to you thats morally wrong, but im not gonna waste 60 dollars to buy another copy of a game i allready purchased, thats stupid. While you hope that you are your kid never stoop that low its called business man, the world skrews you over everyday if you let it, if you call Microsoft I highly doubt they will care they will tell you that you moved the system leading to the game breaking which it clearly states will happen in the manual and they cannot replace the game and that they are sorry for you inconvience. Its life.

This is a problem with the collector edition's tin not my morals. I too had this same thing happen to me and I too have never had this problem with any of the 200 or so other disks I've owned dating back to the PS1 days. I did not by the game warranty (why would I, I've never had a problem) and I wasn't gonna just roll over and take it. I rented the game from blockbuster switched the disks then took the game back, told them it didn't work (for some reason) and they replaced it. thank you, new game.
