Why did this happen i feel so stupid

My brand new xbox...Brand new forza 2. Inserted the game into the console..it was loading up and everything, and then i decided to move the console back a bit.....as i picked the 360 up there was this loud grinding sound. I hit the xbox dashboard button...I then ejected the game and it all deeply scratched. Is there any way of repairing the game..as it then said that it could not be read...Can anyone think of an excuse to blame my console? So i can take the game back to the shop and get it replaced???? I didn't know picking up your 360 while it was playing a game did this......Will it have damaged my 360 at all?

It wont damage your 360...

Same thign happened to me,you should keep your system Horizontal- I was played deadrising,system fell and a massve Donut appeared on the disc. I just scammed Blockbuster by trading the two games. :) (No stickers on the games,idiots! :P)

Justsay it was like tha when u got it.

Just remember not to move console.

It's because the 360 drive is missing cushions to stop it from scratching the disc. 99.9% of drives sold on the pc has these, and probably every other console out there too. But not the 360 for whatever reason.BounceDK

Yep, and that's why on laptop disc drives they have those 3 little bumps to lock the disc in place so it doesen't bounce around. If you just bought it you might be able to take it back with the recipt and just say the disk won't read.
