Sorry to hear about that. I dont know about you, but after Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Assassins Creed comes out then my copy of Gears will be collecting dust on the shelf.

My 360 tipped over while gears was in it and it got a deep circular gash in it. For a while it would only play for a little bit and the i would get that meesege but i wiped it with a clean cloth and it works fine now. Save for longer loading times and some choppiness here and there.

I would suggest a diskwizard. Or there is a chance that it is your console. Try other games and see if it does the same thing. And if so, you need to send it in the be repaired.

I was one of the poor unfortunates that bought the game and it didn't work from day one. And I don't mean it skipped or had any disc read errors...it gave me the "please insert this disc into an Xbox 360 console" screen. I tried 3 copies including a brand new copy with no luck. Fortunately, I was still under my 30 day warranty with Gamestop, so I swapped for a new system. Now I am happily getting my ass handed to me by bad guys with big guns. :D

I did all my games work fine

You dont understand,this game is the best game i have ever played. My friend said he would give me his,but he also said for his single player it would be unreadable and the disk clean up thing would pop up,but he said it worked fine for online.

I still have a feeling that his copy is going to mess up in the long run,he never plays it,but when i get it im going to play the craap out of it.

Im so dissapointed,why does it have to be my favourite game that messes up omg i still cant belive this

Wipe it with a lint free cloth and some distilled water, maybe there's something blocking the laser.

Find a local retailer or video rental place that has a disc resurfacer and get it cleaned. Most game crazy/hollywood videos have them and they charge like $2. If its not to bad then that will fix it.

Try getting in contact with the gears of war publisher (Microsoft? I am not 100% on that) and you can usually send your disk back and get it replaced for like £5 here which would be $10 (a big saving from $30-$40).

Also you could try as somebody else mentioned the cd scratch repair thing at a shop to see if it can be sorted as this can work as well.

Either way I hope this helps :)
