This happened to about five of my 360 games. I was so disappointed when I set it up after YEARS and went to play old favorites and the discs were rotted..

Damn, I still have a collection of old 360 titles. I’m scared to open their cases.

This is one of my motivations for dumping my games and modding my consoles. Pull out Wii sports and it doesn't work? No problems I'll run it off usb.
