Forums - Microsoft Discussion - My 360 hates Gears of War 1 and 2

So it all started when my friend is school lend me his copy of Gears 1 when I get to the chapters of the Krills, the one that you have to explode the gas tanks, a massage appear saying that the disc was unreadable so I took a soft cloth and nothing then my cousin try to clean it whit some paste and then it work. Yesterday I rent Gears 2 and when I get to the part of the giant worm the massage pop up again  and this never happen with another game.

 

So what do you think?

Try installing the games to the HDD. That way if the disc is hard to read, you will have the data on your HDD and you won't have to stop because... it will be on your HDD. You only need the disc to make sure it is a right copy.

The games may be a little scratched making it harder for the 360 to read. I would recommend installing the games to your hard drive, it will make load times faster and you won't have to deal with that problem anymore either.

I try but when it get to the 38 or 40 % of the bar it say the same thing.

Has anyone have this problem to?

Thats bad, that means the disc must be scratched up pretty badly. I would try and use some kind cleaning liquid to hopefully get rid of enough scratches to be able to install the game. A disc repair kit might work.

I had this problem with my copy of Gears 2, I borrowed my cousins and installed it then used my disc and it worked, so far.
