The scratch was probably a ring around the CD, right?

You can try a resurfacer on it, a GOOD one, not one of the 10 or 15 dollar things. This sometimes fixes the problem, but not always. If it doesn't, then your going to have to replace the game :( Sorry.

As to why it did this. Often this is caused by the system being bumped in some way while the game is spinning in your console. Sometimes if the system gets bumped it pops something loose to the point that it no longer needs to get bumped to cause this ring scratch on the CD. Only way to get this fixed (without voiding your warrenty) is to contact microsoft and ask them about repairing it. If you ARE still under warrenty, they might even replace the game for you.

My xbox360 games has ring on it

If the game has a ring around the disc like a scratch you want to go to game stop and have them buff it out . How your games got scratch ring on them if u hit or if you move the 360 from horizonal to vertical while theres a game in the dvd drive it will make a loud buzz sound like a blender with no ice in it and thats what put a scratch ring in your games . you can a skipped disc fix from game stop its called skip disc fixer . its a pate that you put on the game and gently buff out the scratch . For heavy scratches that r deep you might want to buy the game used.

Disc getting scratched

I've heard that when you put discs in the 360 and have the machine perpendicular to the ground, scratches sometimes occur. From my own personal experience, physically moving the 360 while playing a disc can sometimes cause scratches. I'd call 1-800-4-MYXBOX and ask them about it. Try their tech support and hopefully any fixes fall within your warranty or are easier than that. I'm sure that they'd be glad to help. Good luck!

I just got an xbox 360 with a game but now the games scratched

If the damaged disc is a Microsoft game, Microsoft will replace it under their disc replacement program.

http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/gamesandmedia/games/discreplacement/DiscReplacementPlan.aspx

If it's not a Microsoft game you can try to fix it using a disc repair kit you can purchase at Staples or some movie video stores such as FYE.

You can also try the disc repair kit on the disc even if it is a Microsoft game disc. If you do and still have problems reading the disc, you will need to get a new one.

the problem is that the disc touches the laser assembly while turning cheating a ring on the disc.
i can fix your games as well as the disc drive if you feel like is to complicated.

Destroyed Game

It sounds like the console's reader scratched your disc. This can occur when moving the console while it is on, the disc can slip off and get heavily scratched.

I would try grabbing a blank (unimportant) cd or disc and place it in the disc tray, then turning on the console to see if the console is scratching the disc.

Also, be sure to have the console FLAT on the ground, NOT vertical. This can greatly decrease any chance of the console scratching your discs.

I personally have had my XBOX wreck 3 different game's now due to just tapping or nudging the console. I took my wrecked games to a local used game shop like GameStop where they will take the disc from you and allow a discounted price (usually around $10) for a replacement used game.

There is not much you can do about the wrecked disc. You can attempt to have the disc resurfaced (local video rental shops can do this). Microsoft does have a disc replacement program however it takes weeks to have the game returned, and they only allow certain games to be replaced. More information on that can be found here:
http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/gamesandmedia/games/discreplacement/DiscReplacementPlan.aspx

Hope this helps!
