Thanks for making my son cry on Christmas morning MICROSOFT!

if you knew it was breaking games though why would you keep putting games in it?

The only way discs get ruined in a 360 is if you move it while they are running. It says not to do that in big bold letters. Sorry, but it sounds like to me you are blaming the wrong people.HilbillyRokstar

im not blaming you but you said it ate one his games before so it could only be expected that it would happen again. Also it dosent happen to every 360 at some point especially not the new ones. Plenty of people have game countless hours on their 360s without having games destroyed.

The price of games is my whole point too. 360s are dirt cheap now and the games quickly end up being worth more than the system itself why would you risk 1 or more games in a system that you know could be damaging them?

Your son isn't old enough to be playing Battlefield 3 if he cried when it broke....JC346

"Nope, BF:BC2 got scratched while the console was perfectly still. And almost all of our games have small circle scratches on them from some point or another when the consoles were not moving at all.."

instead of solving the problem, we'll keep throwing the Xbox 360, *which happens to have a suspect disc drive*, more games and let it ruin them.

the people here have most likely never dealt with a 360 that ruins games. all the while it's common knowledge that you have to shake it or tip it over to force it to ruin them. Your case is more of a rarity than you'd like to believe.

you're also trying too hard to directly correlate it with the other scenario. both scenarios scratch discs, but one involves a 360 where the disc drive is faulty while the other involves a 360 that's been tipped over/shaken while the drive was running.

not that this is an excuse for them to avoid improvement of their console....but c'mon. if it's suspect...you don't keep giving it more games to ruin.

Well did you move the xbox? I have had a few xboxs and not one ever scratched any of my disks. Same with my brothers xboxs and my friends. They don't scratch disks unless you move it.

Man up.

[QUOTE="superclocked"][QUOTE="heretrix"]I agree. If the TC knew that the Xbox was faulty then he shouldn't have continued to use it. At the very least it should have been called in to have the drive replaced. It really isn't MS's fault the TC's kid is crying, that lies directly with him.

[QUOTE="HilbillyRokstar"][QUOTE="wwervin"]1. I've had my original Xbox 360 for years and it's never given me a single problem. It should not be "eating" games unless you're doing something to it. My guess is either moving the thing while the disc is spinning or you have it sitting vertically (which it sometimes affects the discs). 2. You can install games on your HDD, yet again solving your issue. 3. If it already "ate" a game before, why not get it looked at or get a new one? Seems like you knew about this problem and could have done something about it. 4. Like somebody else said, your kid shouldn't be playing BF if he's 8 years old and crying over a broken game. 5. No offense, but complaining about your crying kid on a gaming message board is a bit much. What did you expect us to say?superclocked

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

[QUOTE="superclocked"]Microsoft should spend the fraction of a penny and fix the problem. Seriously, I'm surprised that people aren't launching class action lawsuits against them. Oh, wait.. People are!superclocked

Man up.

It was pretty much established a long time ago that standing up the console wasn't a good idea.

Listen dude, I'm not insulting you, but it's pretty clear that you don't want to take any responsibility for "ruining" your sons Christmas. That's your problem. Bottom line you knew there was an issue and you kept using the machine. having an xbox scratch your disks is not a good thing in any capacity. I've had 3 Xboxes (2 pros and an Elite which I still use) and I've never had a scratched disk. I've used them all lying them down so maybe having your your xbox standing up is the problem. Maybe it's something you should have researched.

Only 8 and playing BF 3? I can't tell you how to raise your kids, couldn't even if I had my own, but it doesn't matter how mature they are, that's way to young to play a game like BF3. Put him on COD, at least he'll be playing with kids his age.

God we have 2 people saying that they have broken Xbox's.. What are you guys doing to them? Almost everybody I know has a Xbox 360 and NONE of them have broken.. My brother still has the Pro and it hasn't broken. And why is an 8 year old playing BF3? Even if he's really good at it..

[QUOTE="superclocked"][QUOTE="HilbillyRokstar"]Yea, it kinda begs the question. How old is the little online killer/warmonger? Xeogua

Well, it wasn't JUST venting. I'm also making people aware that the newer 360's still scratch disks, even though the console has been out for ages. Someone even made a Youtube video of how easy the problem is to fix with a small piece of rubber, but you have to void the warranty and open the disk drive to do it. My son's 360 ate two games within a months time. That's just flatout UNACCEPTABLE, especially since it's been a known problem for several years... superclocked
