Mine hasn't ruined any discs, except for one but that was my brothers fault for picking up the console while it was reading the disc. What made it worse is that it was Christmas...
Supposedly you can use toothpaste as well.Gazisultima said:It ruined my Orange box, which cost all of about £2 to fix. Oh the horror.......
My DVD drive on PC broke more discs than my Xbox360 (xbox360 0 - Dvd drive 3)nbamaniac said:But alas, we of the PC gaming master race have no such issues!
What you just said describes a fault...Eldritch Warlord said:None. Why the frack are you people compelled to move the thing while it's running?
This is basically an inescapable problem with disc trays in general, if you rotate it while it's working the reader is likely to come in contact with the disc. Sure the old 360's are faulty machines, but the fact that it scratches the disc if you move it is not a fault.GrimHeaper said:It shouldn't be that easy to do.
They intentionally made a faulty machine :/
If you don't believe me and happen to have a desktop PC with a disc tray you should play a CD in that and while it's running tip it over.
I use mine vertical because it gets better circulation and mine has never red-ringed on me. I've had it for 5 or 6 years. I have also never killed a cd, well, Like i said, I purposefully slapped it when it was freezing a lot and killed my MW2 disk, but that's one disk, and it was my fault. all my friends keep theirs upright as well and we've killed 2 disks between us, one of which was the aforementioned *****-slapping the frozen console. It's really not that hard at all to not kill disks with a 360, just don't move it.The Apothecarry said:My console has never ruined a single disc. Setting the console up vertically is never a good idea. I don't know who said it was and added that feature into the 360's initial design, but they're an idiot.
