Slight wobbling was enough to dislodge the CD, it didn't even fall that time. The CD housing is useless and should be idiot proof but is far from it...
Anyway, just though I'd let you know you've got another game to destroy before you graduate to the next level of stupidity, but congratulations on taking your first step.:p
Gears of War 2 got killed within 10 minuites of owning it too if that help ease the pain. :)
PS: Should I buy Bioshock 2? You can ignore that question if its still too hard to talk about.:)

Man - Sorry about your two games... It DOES make me feel better knowing that there are clumsier XBox players out there. ;)
Thanks for the shared vent - It just boggles my mind that the hardware would be so faulty. Some people say that the Red Rings of Doom are inevitable... Not psyched for when THAT comes.
I actually found this while angrily Googling around:

I'm not sure if it's still valid, but apparently Microsoft will replace some of the discs
for a fee, but only if they were published by Microsoft... Gears of War might be covered if you still have the disc and need it replaced...
And, yes, you SHOULD buy Bioshock 2. I didn't have a chance to get into the multi-player part, but the graphics are absolutely gorgeous - You are transplanted right back into rapture - with a few cool new weapons to boot. Before buying the game, I wasn't sure whether or not I'd dig being a Big Daddy, but I don't mind it; it's an interesting "take" on the game... Though I don't see why we couldn't just be another human... Oh, well. I didn't get very far (only just rescued my first Little Sister), but I was psyched to dive right back in again tonight.

Thanks, Guys.
I feel REALLY bad about ruining the Valentine's Day gift. I really do. :( I ordered another copy tonight. Should be arriving in the mail in another couple of days. Sigh.
