Skwisgaar666 I have the same problem except my game developed somewhat of a stain towards the edge of the disc that looks like a water stain. I had the game for about 7 or 8 months and now it doesn't work. My nephew had his Reach copy for about 3 months and now has the same problem I do. His has a stain on it just like mine. I believe this is factory defect so I called Xbox Live and they have no solution, the only solution they have is to send the game to them (shipping is at my expense) along with a $20 check and they will replace the game for me. Can you believe that? That is an outrage, I paid $50 for the game and now I have to pay another $20 plus $5 shipping for what I believe is factory defect. I am so upset, MS really needs to address this issue where their customers do not have to pay for another copy seeing that it is a factory problem and not somethig I did to the game. If any executives read these blogs please take action on this issue, do not make us pay for our games again if this is a mistake on your end. Some of us work hard for a living and do not need to be getting charged again and again for a defective game.
