Default killer Xbox 360

my Xbox 360 has decided to eat one of my games, only had the game 2 weeks

took the disc out last night as it was fooking up to find a ring of fine scratches about 1 cm in from the outside edge of the disc that go all the way round the disc

its call of duty 3, my fav fucking game!!

thing is its not done it to any other of my games, could there be a fault with the disc?

it still works on single player but fucks up when trying to play on Xbox live

anything i can do?

the 360 has a habbit of doing that when you leave the disc in the drive when you turn it off, happend to 2 of my discs, all i can say is if you didnt leave it in there and you allways take it out then you need it looked at..

as for the scratches... use brasso and you can polish them out its shit hot for that.... im not jokin either..

Very prone to it if you have your xbox360 standing rather than lying flat, the slightest knock and it scratches disks when standing.

How long have you had the game and do you have reciept? when I did it I took it back to shop and said disk was faulty

You can try microsoft customer complaints but I dont know how far you would get, do not admit to moving you machine though, say it has never been touched, as they have a covering statement in the user manual for damaging disks by moving console

if you look in the back of the manual for the game you can get a replacement disk for a bout £10 i think, you have to send the old disk to them first though
