Unless M$ get round to admit another problem with the 360... they admited the 3 lights of death, so there is allways hope i guess..

Calm down, calm down. When your son jumped it's likely the spinning disc scuffed the laser. Now providing the disc doesn't have a crack it can be saved. Most scratches and scuffs can be removed from cds and dvds. Playtime Video Games on Pinstone street will probably be able to fix it. It will only cost £2 too.

Lay it flat rather than vertical if you don't have it this way already. This will minimise the problem. Like Mod Man says, either get it recoated at Playtime, or take it back to the shop and say the disc was scratched. Most will be happy to swap it out.

Alternatively sedate your son with tranquilizers before a heavy gaming session.
