Scratched Xbox game.

Got a nice new Xbox 360 Elite for Xmas, along with a couple of games.

Loving 'Dragon Age: Origins', then suddenly my foot accidentally taps the Xbox so it moves like an inch. It makes a noise, and the game freezes. I take the game out, and there's a massive scratch all around the disc, and now it won't work.

Are you fucking serious?? That's rediculous...I've done that before with my old Xbox, it left scratch marks but it never fucked up this badly. These games cost like 40 fucking quid! Needless to say I'm fucking pissed off.

Anyway to fix them?

    The XBOX disc drive is a bit stupid, the disc has some wiggle room and if you move it sideways at all the centrefugal force of the disc spinning tries to keep it in the initial position so it jars against *something* in the machine which puts a big scratch round and round the disc.. I've had the same thing happen to me shortly before the XBOX broke down completely (unrelated event though, don't worry :p)
