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?

in my opinion just exchange it for another game. _________________________________________________________ HQ Lord Nikon 1b4
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:
