lol, I'm gonna do that. I sent out the call for the coffin, and when I get a refurbished console back, I'll throw it up on ebay and wash my hands of the whole thing.

It sucks, but I gave them 3 strikes, and even a couple of free passes on a couple of cracked games they wouldn't replace for me anyways.

yea at the pinnacle before my DVD drive actually stopped reading discs all together it would crack them too.

trust me getting a ps3 is a wise choice.

notice a trend here? most of the games people are talking about in this thread are EA games. same thing happened to me with UEFA CL 06-07, an EA game. I've not had trouble with any other game yet.

My theory is the disc is weakened by the heat, cool down, and pushing/pulling the disc on/off the case peg. I no longer push my discs on the case peg but put them in a sleeve.

Same thing happened to me. Played NCAA 08, had a game in the 4th going down to the wire, then all of the sudden it said "unreadable disc." I was pissed about the hour I had just lost playing, then I saw the crack in the disc and got even more pissed. Thankfully I was able to rebuy NCAA for $22 when Circuit City had that typo in their ad.

I always take discs out before I shut down the console and now keep all of my games in one of those zippered CD holders. No problems since.

I need to get a cd holder for all of my movies and games. I usually have 2 or 3 games on top of my 360 anyways because I am to lazy to get the cases back out.

Launch 360 and I never had that happen.
