This also says it on the orignal Xbox 360's. On the disc trey it says "do not move console when playing" or something like that.

Old news is old

Fail attempt at bashing 360 is fail

Suck,but that's understandable.My 360 was just sitting there.I turn it on with my controller(as always) and it suddenly scratches the game.

OK? and?

question is, do you NEED to make your 360 (or wii and ps3 for that matter) do summersaults?

people find the most dumb reasons to bash something i swear

Solution install games that cost the most to replace and dont move your console. Install the game and you can move your xbox 360 to your hearts desire while playing games.

How about if a friend or family member bump into your 360 and it accidently fall down . I think just moving it or even shaking the new 360 will causes scratches on your disks.

well to be honest does your laptop do that when you move it? PS3 nor the Wii does that either. It was proven that the issue was because of a rubber ring was missing from the drive. And to be honest I got rid of my 360 for cutting my games and I didn't even move it so it is a problem

I was about to make a similar point. My pc has not scratched a disc when I had 2 discs in it and someone kicked the whole thing over, and that has cheap £18 disc drives in it.

Problem with your laptop comparison is that it's meant to be portable...game consoles are meant to played from stationary positions. Try moving your desktop around like a roller ball toy and see what happens to a disk in its drive. The Wii and PS3 use the slot system.

the 360 has a dvd drive that doesnt hold on to the disc thats why the game scratches. the reason why the wii, ps3 dont do it is because they grab the disc tightly in the drive

Do you? Laptops and portable disc players

Both of which are designed to be mobile.;) You dont see people moving their destops and stereo systems while a disc is spinning.

I don't think there is a single disc drive on the market that won't damage a disc when it is moved... aside from perhaps laptop drives. This isn't a MS or 360 problem, but user error... and always has been.

rrod-microsoft's fault, lifting up your console while playing-your fault big difference.
