I had that problem with InFamous. The disc was fine to start with but the action of taking out and putting back in the case caused it to crack (almost all the way across the disc). I had it replaced and the next one started doing it also but I noticed before any real damage was done. My theory is it's the type of case the disc is in. The clear ones are fine, but the silver ones over here used for 'Platinum' releases (best of) have a very violent snap action and this is what has caused the damage. I now trim the fixing in these types of cases with a knife so I can avoid any further damage to other discs.
