    NCAA 2008 Just Became a Coaster

    Not because I love All-Pro so much, but I freaking tripped on a network cable as I was walking in to my room from my kitchen. So the 360 falls over and I hear this grating sound, I'm like, "Oh ****" and before I could turn the thing off there is now a huge ring around the DVD. I guess this is the time to tell me I should have gotten scratch protection? $65 dollars down the drain

    You can probably resurface it. I remember Madden 02 or something was scratched horribly... I got it resurfaced... worked like a charm.

          they make less than decent coasters though. My forza 2 got cracked while playing in the 360, so I know how you feel. $65 wasted, unless you feel like paying MS $20 to kindly replace the game for you, but they even only do that for games they publish.

            Dang man, practically the same thing happened to me today. Playing NCAA online, and my 360 goes deathly quiet, says it can't read the disk. Take it out and bam, a bunch of small circular scratches. Not sure if it will work anymore.

              Did you just take it to a video game store or did you buy a kit or something?

                      Is that the one where you put the game in and start turning this nob?

                      I have that and it scares me whenever I have to use it.

                        I had that but it broke, and it didn't fix the game I bought it for anyway. Skies of Arcadia on Dreamcast. I was almost on the 2nd disk but it stopped working, and I never beat it.

                          I got the ring around my NCAA 08 disc and took it back to EB Games. They actually replaced it. I was very thankful.

                              Don't feel bad, I did the same thing with my NCAA 2007 disc.

                              Here's something I read on another forum though that might help:
                              ...if you can prove you own a legitimate damanged copy of something by sending in a scratched or broken disc, most distributors will replace a broken DVD or CD for you for not much more than the cost of shipping. Most people don't know that... they think that you're purchasing the disc, but when you buy a DVD or CD you are paying for the content moreso than the actual disc. They are usually happy to replace a bad disc if you request it.
                              I figure that this applies to video games as well.
