X360 scratching my games

Well, it finally happened, my xbox 360 fu*ked up on me. I was gonna play MW2 when I get this error message saying I need to clean my disc because it is unable to read it. I figured my neglect for the safety of the game had come back to bite me in the ass. So I popped L4D2 in, and guess what; I get the same message. I look at the disc, and there's this big circle of a scratch looking me straight in the face, and that's when I realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

Honestly, I was not surprised. All of the people I know but me have had a history of failure when it comes to the Xbox 360, so I guess I've had it coming. My warranty is still valid, and I'm hoping Microsoft will fx it soon even though they said it might take a couple of weeks.

What bothers me, is the fact that Microsoft does not take any responsibility for my scratched games. So as far as I can see, I have three options. Either repurchase both games (which doesn't tempt me much), or I could leave them as they are, but unfortunately that means I will no longer be able to play them. The third option is to buy a disc repair machine which might save my games, but it costs a moderate amount of money, and I've heard they does not always work. I think I'm gonna go the the latter though because the scratches aren't very deep, and if it does work, I will have the device in case I need it some other time.

What really bothers me though, is that I can't play games on my Xbox for up to a month, but there aren't really that many games coming out right now that I want to play (except SC:Conviction).
