HOLY MOLY!!! those are real serious! i thought when u say scratch, means those hair-line wear & tear scratch only. i nvr seen such damaged disc b4.

anyone with technical knowledge of DVDROMs? a perfectly working 16X unit will never do that to a brand new disc, would it? position misaligned? too must excess heat for the gpu affecting the drive?

TS, i'm realy sorry to hear this happen to u. suggest u dont put in anymore ori disc for the moment. if play those pasar malam dvd movies, will it spin at 16X? maybe can use those cheapo disc to test the machine.

Mr. Alby sorry to hear that your GOW disk is stratched! Please check what disk drive you got, Philip, Toshiba or Samsung. I think I read somehwhere in XBOX.com US forum under technical issue that certain DVD drive will stratched the disk. Just the the old xbox, Samsung seems the best, others run like a plane taking off. Anyway, it is just bad luck. Hope you shine up your chainsaw and join me Sumo, Jaylike, zeliant ... etc for a game. hmm.gif hmm.gif Cheer, Bro.

Wow, that's a lot o nasty scratches that doesn't look natural at all, u say ur other discs aren't affected so I guess it's not ur drive.

But u also mentioned that u put the game back into the case after every session, are u sure no one touched it and dropped the disc before?
