Xbox 360 Disc Cracking

Recently i decided to put Gears of War 2 CD in to play it and to my dismay there was huge cracks on the inner circle... i rubbed my nail across it because i didnt believe it and a huge chip of plastic came off...

I checked all my other games and they have tiny "chips" witch leads me to believe this is caused by inserting the games back into the plastic casing...

Anyone else have this problem? me personaly i treat my games realy well and most of my games have no scratchs on the actual disc except for the inner circle. I never thought twice about "Clicking" them back into the plastic case but now that im seeing this im going to be alot more carefull.

This thread also servs as a heads up to people who "Think" there treating there discs verry well, feedback would be much apreciated.

I have over 30 games and this is realy disapointing.

Yeah thats only really happened to me once, but it was with Spiderman 3... thank god lol.

I have not seen this yet with 360 games but I have not had them long. This did happen with my Sonic Shuffle game. I think it still works for the moment.

That happened with both my Fallout 3 and CoD4 luckily it was within the 30-Day warranty and i found them defective, so i got new ones. no problem since

UPDATE: I just installed my badly cracked GoW2 cd onto my Harddrive and seems to be playing fine.. thank god for installing.

Yeah, you have to click the disk into place before shutting the case or it can crack.

No you got it wrong. The center of the case have little teeth witch are there to hold the cd in place. What i use to do was just press the disc into these teeth instead of pressing them down and allowing the disc to fall into place... at least thats what i suspect is the cause... that coupled with the fact this problem went unnoticed and was deteriorating over time due to high speed of the 360's DVD drive.

I know it's common sense but nobody has mentioned it yet: You should NOT ignore cracked discs. These things can and will eventually explode in your drive, causing massive damage to it. Replace, install or THROW IT AWAY. A cracked disc (even a new $60 game) is NOT worth needing to take your Xbox in for repairs.

I've never had that happen to me thank god.

Wow, never have any of the plastic tabs inside the cases cracked that part of any disc I have - try being more cautious when putting your games in their cases. Press down the center release button with greater force then usual.

If you look carefully at every game you own the caseing is different with almost everyone theres no point to adding new ones why doesnt microsoft just keep one and stick with it.
