Gears of war occasionally stops and the xbox says i need to clean the disc?

Question

my gears of war game does not have one simgle miniscule scratch on it but twice now during gameplay it has has a small glitch then stopped the game and an xbox screen appears saying the disc is dirty and my scratched up halo-2 game works fine do you think there might be something wrong with my 360? or are the 360 games 10X more sensitive, cause i really don't want to trade in my system it will be too much of a hassle

Answer 1

That happens all the time with me, when I play Far cry, or any other game sometimes it says the disc is dirty and an error message comes up, but I know that there are no scratches/dirt because I just bought the game and I handle them all with care, I think it has something to do with the laser reader inside the console.

Answer 2

There is probably something on the disc, dirt or scratches. Try to clean the disc with warm water and a small amount of dish detergent and of course dry it well with a lint free cloth, this may help. If you have the license and receipt, it can be replaces for a few $.

Answer 3

the SAME thing happens to me and my xbox, except with my nba 2k7, not gears of war.
let me ask u this, do u ever put in the game and have a white screen with black writing that says "to play this disc put it in a xbox 360 console"?? (or something like that).
im calling technical support tomorrow to try to figure it all out.

Answer 4

I've had that happen also a few times, but it really wasn't a problem, maybe because i was playing on Live all night.
