I usually play for about 3-8 hours every night on the Xbox 360 AOTI with my friends.

I was playing tonight and the game started freezing. Then I restarted the system and there were graphical problems.

I called Microsoft and they had me clear the system cache, everything seemed to be good for about 5 minutes before the graphical problems started happening again.

There is some kinda of white substance on the inner ring of the disc which my friend said is common on defective or broken discs due to laser burn.

This might have happened because of 2 reasons:

1. The 3 power outages caused the 360 laser to burn the disc. I was playing during the 1st power outage, the system was off during the other 2.

2. I lifted the system a bit with the disc inside and it rubbed something.

Since I usually leave the disc in the system always, I don't really know when that white stuff got on the middle inner circle of the disc.

Makes sense this happens when MAG is expected to come back.

I guess it is possible the power outage caused the laser to act weird, I've never heard of it though.

Does your 360 get hot? Do you have any aftermarket cooler to pull the air from the back of the case? I know my 360 would freeze up quite a bit when I had it and I had a small fan pull the hot air from the back of it and it stopped freezing up and stuff. Just a thought.
