There is an odd shaped smudge on my Modern Warfare 2 disc. (Xbox 360)
At first i thought it was an extremely odd laser burn, but I noticed when I removed it from the Xbox that, when i touched the area of the smudge, it moved as though the smudge was actually a liquid under the "skin" if the disc.
It's Also worth mentioning that i never mistreated the game in any way: i always made sure it was in it's case when not in the Xbox, and i never moved the Xbox when it had a disc in it.

So, two questions
1) Does anyone know of a way to fix this particular problem?
2) If not, could i send it in to Microsoft for a replacement?
Optical discs are made of a thin layer of metal sandwiched between plastic discs. What you've got there is the plastic layer separating from the metal.
It's a manufacturing defect, so I would imagine you should be able to swap it.
I don't mean to hijack the thread but I have a question closely related this. I have several xbox games and dvds where I've seen smudges or just where the disc clearly has places where metal film is reflecting light differently on freshly opened discs but the game or movies play just fine. Is this a common occurrence when a dvd is made?

Just let them know you won't pay for shipping either.
