Gears of War Disc Scratch/Something, what should I do?

[CYRiX]

As of late its had its problem of playing 100% of the time but I took it out to see this and now I've only got it to read once where in-game it gave me the disc-read-error. If I boot up the 360 with it in it thinks its a DVD and gives me the "put this disc in a 360" screen.

Here are some pics:

Is it actually scratched? Can't tell from the pics you posted.

On the top of the disc it is scratched in the middle of that little gap where there isnt anything, but on the bottom there isn't.

I'm not quite sure from the picture, but it looks like something took a chunk out of the center, and ripped off some of the data as well (don't remember the official term for the dye). If that's the case, the game is pretty much destroyed.

In your picture of the bottom of the disc, it looks like the damage goes past the inner ring. If you could take close-ups of both the top and the bottom where the damage is concentrated, it may be easier to confirm if the disc is dead or not.

Had the exact same issue with RB6: Vegas. Called UBIsoft and they wanted to charge me another $15 when that is a defect, not a scratch. Got a local retailer to flip it for me :).
