The only game of mine that doesn't work is Need For Speed: Something... It happened about 2 years ago; I had the NFS-CD in the X360, and while it was running I moved the console itself by lifting it a bit. Suddenly there was this loud terrifying sound from inside the X360, which frankly made me believe it was going to explode, and after a while the game froze and the sound stopped.

I take the CD out to check for any scratches, and WOW was it filled with'em. The 360 stopped working aswell, so I had to go replace it. Though they wouldn't give me a new copy of NFS... Bastards.

My games last for quite a while. However if anything happens to them I usually use a special cleaning solution that I got from some video game store and that usually clears up the problem.

It was probably Need For Speed: Carbon, I really enjoyed that game.
