Problem resolved. No need for thread anymore

Happened to someone i know before,
I don't know about sending games to MS..
I don't think they'll do anything about it.

**HaTriX** · 12-27-2009

Yea something only the 360 suffers from. I learned the hard way when I had one. Went out and bought fear, moved the 360 while it was on and it burned a ring on the disc. 75% of the multiplayer maps wouldn't load. Same with the game itself most of the time.

Awesome feature really.

What the ****. How does Microsoft get away with this? Would the retailer give me a new one or would I have to send it away to MS or something?

how old is your 360 this shouldnt happen with any of the newer drives. when it first started happening with the original hitachi drives it was all my local stores policy to replace the disc but im not sure if thats the case now.

id never have my 360 standing up anyways there more prone to RROD, and as youve just found out toppling over

**smiggy** · 12-27-2009

If you knocked over your 360 its hardly MS fault.

**F34R** · 12-27-2009

yea... the wtf would be on your part. How can anyone blame your disc being scratch on MS when it was knocked over. Fail.

**emmerich** · 12-27-2009

MS get away with it because it wasn't their fault that your console was knocked over causing the disc to become damaged.

Your fault entirely right there bro.

Just for the record. I stand my console vertical and have done since I got it due to space limitations and it has never burnt a ring in ANY of my discs or put ANY sort of mark on them.

**Acid Snake** · 12-27-2009

Your the one who knocked it over.

this lol.

lesson learned. dont knock it over.

However, i think this only happens on the early models.

**cyclops** · 12-27-2009

I am guessing what he means is: Why the **** wouldn't MS make sure that this couldn't happen? I mean accidents do happen, dog runs by it, 3 year old kid is curious while your playing your fav game and bam down goes the xbox. You shouldn't have to worry about your xbox grinding a ring in your game if an accident happens.

**Cyn** · 12-27-2009

Happened to my mates COD4 disc last year. Sucks

**Astonlover** · 12-27-2009

It says On a Sticker on the DVD Drive when you get it do not move the console with a disk in it so theres no hope for you mate.

its really down to you why your xbox fell over but just take the game back anyways and say it doesnt work as you have a 12month Guarantee on it

I'm blaming Microsoft for using a rubbish DVD drive.

Thats what I mean. Why can't Microsoft use good DVD drives?

Yep.

Still think its absurd that it happens. The store I took my game back to when it happened to me refused to replace it. $60 down the drain.

Not like it mattered in the long run though. All my games and 360 were stolen......

Exactly.

I know it was my fault, but in all honesty Microsoft are idiots to me now. I really hope they replace the game, other wise I'm just gonna sell the Xbox.

**stonecoldbean** · 12-27-2009

shame mate

but aye nothing on your side in this situation it seems. Had the same thing happen to me once with fable 2 just had to borrow my mates copy

p.s http://xboxrepublic.top-forum.net/th...rate-t1611.htm

i love how they define fanboy just purely 'coz you had a bad experience with their prefered console

what joy they must have analysing this forums every move

i recommend that site if you want a giggle to yourself, i have a 360 and enjoy it but it doesn't surprise me that most of the members ages on display on that forum are no older than 16

-sorry for going off topic-

Because people only bitch and moan about it, but they still go and buy the games and hardware. So thats saying "its ok if you make crap, cause I will still buy it."

But with that said, this was your fault. ;-]

I know it's my fault, I'm just annoyed that it can actually happen. Just wanted to know if they'd actually replace it or not.

wow, slightly extreme example there mate. pretty sure my my ps3 doesn't do that to disks when i move it, and as far as i am aware, none of the dvd players I have ever owned have done that.

**Cyn** · 12-27-2009

This doesn't only just happen when dropping it either. With the older models, games like Rockband and Guitar Hero and especially the dancing games cause vibrations through the floor to scratch the disc.

Now THAT is whack

Same thing with me, all my consoles i have ever had and dvd players and cd players, i could MOVE fine without harming the disk inside while on.

I did it for my 360 because it was getting hot and i wanted to ventilate it, and BAM, there goes my Midnight Club LA game disk...

If there was a sticker that warned me when i got the console, i totally forget by now, its just odd that it happens for once console only

Don't jinx it Squirbo. The next thing you know, as you move your PS3 while playing it, the ultimately powerful cell processor unleashes its true might and creates a vortex to hell and sucks you in, then scratches your disc.
