MS Replaces Your Scratched Discs for $20

Filed in archive News on April 9, 2007

Loan your copy of Crackdown to Eddy Scissorhands? Accidentally leave your Gears of War disc facedown in the driveway? Don't worry about it -- Microsoft will now replace your busted discs (from Microsoft published games) for just $20. GamesAreFun has the details:

How does it work? Mail off the non-functioning game disc along with this form. Your credit card gets charged $20 (USD), and you will receive by mail a brand new copy of your damaged game several days later. Keep in mind that if the CD is actually broken into pieces, you'll have to have more than 90% of the disc for Microsoft to honor the program. And it doesn't cover every 360 game, either, only ones published by Microsoft themselves (complete list below):

-Crackdown
-Fuzion Frenzy 2
-Gears Of War
-Halo 2
-Kameo: Elements of Power
-Ninety Nine Nights
-Perfect Dark Zero
-Project Gotham Racing 3
-Viva Piñata
-Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Vol. 1

Not a bad deal, considering the alternative is to buy another new copy at full price. Are you sure that you didn't break Fusion Frenzy 2 on purpose, though?
