Today i bought a used game (tom Rayder Legend). It seems to be ok, but any time that i arrive to the same part the 360 freezes and after that if i try to resume the game it did not start, it leaves a black screen. I did not have any problems with gears (new) and Ghost Recon (used). This is the common behavior for a damage game? The DVD has some scratch, but it did not seems like it is enough to damage the game. Any comments?

Have you tried cleaning the disc? When I get a scratch on a movie that makes it skip I use toothpaste and I'd say +95% of the time the movie plays fine after that.

Yea I tried the Tooth paste method but if you put too much you'll damage the disk so just put as much as you need do not over do it. Yea it's a good method though.

I rented a game from GameFly and made the mistake moving my 360 while powered on, totally scratched the disc. I sent it to 360 Llama disc repair for 10 bucks and it came back like new. I highly recommend those guys for seriously scratched discs, especially rented ones.
Here is a link for them:

Also, if you have a GameStop near you they supposedly fix them for $2.
