Xbox discs getting weird crack in the middle plastic part...

my games are getting a weird crack in the middle of the discs...my fifa 10 already got a crack and it eventually spread across the disc..now my call of duty has a little crack on one side and i wanna know if its my xbox doing it or possibly the way i put the games in the box? help please and thanks

you should get a replacement, if that disk is used more, it could crack inside the player

Its actully your case doing it, they changed the material to a cheaper plastic and it actually cracks the disks a bit sometimes.... try and be a little gentler and you should be okdrocka11

Is this actually true? anyone else can confirm this? if this is true my fifa and call of duty have the new disc case with the the holes around the hole placement

bump

i always push the middle, even if its the disc case with the hard middle

it has to be. This must not have happened to you until now...and these games are some of the first with the crap plastic cases and they're the only ones getting this.

If you think about it, lots of strain is put down right on the middle when you're trying to open the case, I know my COD case is going to sag inwards from both sides from opening it.

it is due to the new cases being used. They are supposed to be eco friendly I think. The only way they are ecofriendly is they have no plastic to protect the bottom of the disk. They are ripoffs if you ask me

so xbox basically messed up...is there anyway to get a new disc through microsoft or the company who made the game?

None of my games are like that. You're probably just handling your games improperly.

lol so i guess after 2 years of pushing the button in the middle the same way as i always have with my xbox games, i somehow did something different with my call of duty and fifa and they broke because of me? lol if u didnt notice by my gamerscore im not new to getting the games out the box and im not the only one who has said they have the crack a few of my friends have got the crack also so i am gonna say its the new disc cases.

Same thing happened to me with my Gears of War 2 disc. I always handle the disc carefully. I immediately suspected the new cases or possibly faulty discs.

I've wondered about whether or not the console would crack a disc like that, and I really do not know. What I do know is that my Halo 3 disc cracked in a period of time when I rarely took it out of the console, and when I did, I did not put it back in its case (which was an older style of case than what is being used now). I also had a Left 4 Dead disc crack in a similar manner. However, my Far Cry 2 case is extremely tight and requires more force to get a game in or out of it, but my Far Cry 2 disc is perfectly fine.

While inconclusive, that leads me to believe that something other than the case contributed to the cracking. Maybe the cracked discs had a defect that made them more prone to cracking than my Far Cry 2 disc. I don't know, but I am certain that the discs can crack even when you handle them properly.

its the disc drive, because my national lampoon dvd got cracks in the same spot and we know dvd cases dont crack em , ,i did actually a stress test on a brand new copy of smackdown vs raw 2010 ,

not only did it crack the disc but when i first played i noticed after 10 minutes of play the disc had a small scrastch around the center

and your saying its the cases

its not , because i had 5 gta ivs crack in the same area , ,

3 saints rows also did this and a copy of wwe 2008 and crackdown all from one 360

i put that 360 out of commision and im using another one and i haven t had a problem since

On my take on this. I'm going to say it's the case. Some of those cases just don't want to let the game go. My GRAW 2 got a crack in the middle due to the case not making it easy to take the game out.

My Fallout 3 disc started to do that, so it gave me an excuse to get the Game of The Year Edition.:D
