My 360 just destroyed my copy of COD:WW

[Cryox]

So, i was just playing COD:WW with some friends, and i was getting a bad connection, so i slid it to the right a bit, hoping it would better my connection, and i heard an awful sound from the disc tray. Pulled out my disc, and there was a nice little ring around the disc. Now it won't even load the game.

I didn't even tilt the xbox at all. Any one know of how i can get a replacement disc? I know i have heard that MS knew about the disc destroying defect upon shipping the first consoles. I should be able to get a replacement right? The disc was mint before this happened, like all my games.

Links or anything will help.

Spoiler: Pics

I know, not the best quality, took these with my phone camera.

I doubt Microsoft will do anything. They give you a warning ahead of time on all new consoles.
It's a clear sticker right on top of the disc tray saying "Don't move the system while game is in play" or something like that.
You're on your own I assume.


And how would tilting/sliding your Xbox360 possible increase internet speed? -_-;

I didn't get a sticker with mine

When did you buy it? I've had mine for 2+ years and It came with one when I bought it.

I got it on March 3rd, 2007 at 5:19 in the afternoon
(still have the receipt and ALL original packaging and stuff. Didn't throw anything away.)

It would increase my connection by minimizing obstructions like walls, floors, tables etc. My xbox just happens to be in my basement, and the router is on the 2nd story. There was also a pipe above it that i think might be hurting the connection.

Microsoft Admits That the Xbox 360 Scratches Game Disks - Don't try to move the console - Softpedia

Microsoft has replied to these charges, stating that, although the phenomenon isn't widespread, it has issued warnings to users about the dangers of moving the console while a game disk is inside it. Such warnings were reiterated in the manuals and in the online terms of service issued by the company, where it stresses that it has no fault if a disk gets scratched if the console is moved.

GG.

dang. now that sucks. it isn't even on the replacement list on the MS support page... *cry* :'(

EDIT:
I am going to try and borrow a friends copy and save it to my HDD. Hopefully that will work.

With the ridiculous amount of noise that comes from the disc tray i'm surprised you had the balls to attempt to move it while it was reading a game :/

Once I knocked my 360 over while playing a game. Left 4 dead was demolished

Ever heard of wireless internet? Even the slightest movement can cause a better strength connection.

I managed to mostly revive Rainbow Six Vegas after kocking over my 360 mid-game. Those disc descratchers do wonders.

I would recommend trying something like this: Amazon.com: Skipdoctor CD Repair Kit: Electronics

I think i know someone who has one of those. I'll see if they still do. But the reviews for that particular one were terrible btw.

This one works great, I used this one when my Call Of Duty,Halo3 got scratch
You still can see the ring, but it plays perfect.
Few Downfails of it, sometimes it would leave a spin mark on it, but it would allow the game to play. So you won't able re-sell games if you want to in future.

When my disk got scratched like that I could rub away the white stuff from the disk and then it would work fine. I had to be quite forceful though, and use my fingers.

What did you use besides your fingers? paper towel and windex?
