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...

It ruined my Orange box, which cost all of about £2 to fix. Oh the horror.......
Supposedly you can use toothpaste as well.
Worked for a few of my friends.
Besides buffing the disk.

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.

None. Why the frack are you people compelled to move the thing while it's running?

It shouldn't be that easy to do.
They intentionally made a faulty machine :/
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.

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.
What you just said describes a fault...
And who uses Cds in there computers anymore?
I mean I don't hear the same excuses for laptops and Psps which are moved about 10,000 more times than the Xbox with discs in them.

2 Disks.
The first was an Original Xbox game that i got for 9 bucks.
And the second was Modern Warfare too.

Im more sad that it ate my copy of Kights of the Old Republic though.

Honestly, it only eats your disks, if you tip it over while its running. So i have a pair of wooden boards propping mine up.

1 disc, Oblivion. I was playing it, when I lifted my horizontal 360 5 degrees, and chew chew chew.

Now, if I have to move my 360, I first make sure it's off and there aren't any discs in it.

On its own, exactly none.

HOWEVER, it has ruined viva-pinata, but that was because i kicked it over. While it was still playing. Needless to say there was a loud scratching noise, and i havent played that since.

But without the help of my incompetent feet, it hasnt destroyed anything. Apart from the old xbox which destroyed itself. To be fair, i had got it from the moment it came out, so it had done well to make it that long (it died about this time last year).

None. i killed one of my xbox games while it was in my 360 by slapping it, but that's my fault not the 360's. It's not that hard to take care of your 360 so that it doesn't wobble and eat disks.

It destroyed my copy of Oblivion. But that was okay because it gave me a reason to buy the GOTY edition.

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.

None, because I've heard what happens when you move it while it's running and I'm not stupid enough to fucking test it

My original xbox ate one but that was my fault for putting it in a stupid place at the time learnt my lesson well. I've since bought a TV stand and it lives there now rather than on a makeshift stand made out of a guitar amp... And since that one died (It lives on as a laptop stand since I'm too cheap to buy a proper one... Yeah I makeshift alot :D ) and I got the slimline none so far.

It took a munch on my Final Fantasy XIII Disc 3 once. Wasn't the Xbox's fault though, I got mad and jabbed the power button too hard so the console moved.
I directly blame that Neochu for my disc breaking. It wasn't my bad temper's fault, that'd be absurd reasoning.

Apart from that, it's behaved fine.

Mine has only eaten one, but that was way back when we first got it and because we had it standing up instead of lying down. Since then, several years later, it hasn't eaten a single other disc. Because we lay it down.

It mostly ruined Sonic Unleashed. It started making weird noises during one of the bosses, froze, and since then about 40% of all stages just don't load. I haven't really touched my 360 for almost 2 years since that, actually.
