Help Needed: GoW from blockbuster scratched up

so i just popped in my used copy of gears of war disc in my 360 and i started noticing that the fmvs started chopping up. fearing a red ring of doom i shut it off and ejected the disc. took a look and noticed that theres a pretty defined scratch uniformly around the outside of the disc. ive learned my lesson. check the discs before buying used.
im assuming that the previous owner could have and most likely had a vertical 360 and the game was playing while the 360 got nudged and got all mucked up. this is a very common phenomenon but the thing im wondering is if the disc can still be repaired. will a disc doctor/disc buffer work or am i screwed?
my other dilemma is that i cant find the blockbuster receipt i bought it with, but i do have another separate receipt that has the games that i traded in for the game. and the box has the original blockbuster bar code , date and other info. whats the policy on trading it in? will they honor their warantee with a little effort on my part?

If one more person complains about the disc, THEN they toss it. An orange sticker marks such discs. I was recently told I shouldn't say that, because people can become dicks about it, see the orange thing, complain it's broken whether or not it really is and try to get something else.
Why not just test the game? That's what we do at my work. Specially since people tend to lie just so they can exchange it for another game.
yeah because all the blockbusters have a 360. ps3, wii, xbox, ps2, and gamecube just sitting in the back. O_o
will the fact that i dont have a receipt be an issue?
True, but I think it's retarded a company can sell shit they don't know for sure works or not, and quite obviously don't even check for apparent damage.
They don't? Let's see: $400+$600+$250+$100+$100+$100=$1550 per store retail. Blockbuster owns Gamecrazy, so they can use trade-ins when possible; that's closer to $1000 or so per store (one-time cost) to know whether or not a disk works.
I suspect money is not the driving force behind this policy.
problem solved.

Hey everyone. Don't have a sig as big as his.
Now, to be on topic, I've dealt with Blockbuster twice without the reciept. First time was a nightmare, second time was no problem. So...well, you can at least try.

I heard that works. Though, it could totally not. I'm not sure.
How about the necessary labor hours? Yeah, no. Not a chance in hell.
I once had to do that to make a demo disc work.
