Yet that is exactly what the ding dong did, move the 360 from horizontal to vertical while the game was spinning. The out come was a given at that point. So his evidence was worthless.

you aren't very bright are you... that test was only to see which position was more stable with the unstable CD in it

M$ just sucks. the x360 is a great gaming console, but every thing else... M$ doesn't give a damn about customers as long they get $ and don't have to fear bad reputation due to such news.

exactly.. .they don't give a damn.. even after this, a solid proof, they could care less..
MS is just friggin annoying, playing monopoly position

their helpdesk totally sucks

they don't wanna admit they're wrong..

since obviously there are more then 1000 of 360 owners in holland only with discscratching problems

first they say : "discs can't be scratched, if console is stable"

after complaints of Kassa they say : "because of thorough play, discs can be scratched"

in the netherlands they have other rules for that, when you buy a game they dont even look if you are 18+ or not

my hitachi used to leave smudges on the disks. Maybe it has the rubber bits on it which are causing these smudges? they rub off but are a pain in the back side

It depense on wich store you are buying it. Because al lot of stores Here in The Netherlands to are not asking for your age eighter.

Not to be mean or anything, but why is this news? Everyone has been knowing the 360 scratches up discs, even on launch date. Why make a vid on it? lol, why post it up as news? and yes, I, too, thought this was kinda dumb.(My gears had the same circle, due to the fact it tip over, and im 19..This was a little kid, who knows wtf he did with his. Just know, little kids lie. FACT)

cyclone_storm · « **Reply #37 on:** April 17, 2007, 07:26:00 AM »

Why? Most people in the Netherlands can see breasts with nipples on public television without going mad. They also have far less shootouts on schools, despite not giving a crap about the age of the consumer who buys violent video games.

Someone I know was in the 'States recently and watched in surprise as a parent was moving her hands over the eyes of her children on the beach, just because an older woman was changing clothes 100 meters away. She was topless for only a few seconds and even turned her back to them when she changed. Still, the mother looked in utter disgust while she pushed her children the other way, forcing them not to watch.

Ratings are fun, especially if you believe in them. Most people in the USA do. I believe in common sense. Nipples do not harm people, guns do not harm people and violent video games do not harm people. People harm people.

That's what I was thinking. That kid was like 10.

yeah, you;'ve got a point as mentioned before.

But it could have been the Viva Pinata disc so stop wining about it and stay on topic.

I have a samsung drive and no probs so far. In Holland a game costs 69,95 so that's a real pity if the drive screws up your game and you don't get a new one

Haven't heard much on this, other than this article. Never had any scratches on my disc ( unintentionally done by the 360 ) and I have used about 4+ different drives(MS28,MS25,46D,47D).

Yeah my hitachi scratched my pgr3 but i not gunna bull$h!t by saying that it was the consoles fault!! The xbox was on dashboard with the game in and without thinkin i layed it down. i even herd it scratchin!!!

When something is spinning it turns into a gyro and wants to stay spinning in the same possition, when you move the xbox the disk stays vert as long as it can before it hits something (the laser) causing the scraches

If you noticed it was quite a heavy ring at the same width as the lens so this happen all at the same time (when tilted) if it was caused by vibrating it would be done over time across a wider area!!

I love it.

We cannot confirm nor deny it
But if it does we will replace it.

Perfect PR.
No one speaks better out of both sides of their mouths than M$

jackasses, I speak dutch, and I can honestly tell the ppl in that video are jackasses, if they'd kept track of the Xbox hardware news, they'd know moving the box during operation, or putting it vertical will damage the discs.

I'm gonna send a peppered mail to those dumbasses.

This is a perfect example of someone who posts without reading any part of the thread other than the title, and probably didn't even watch the video.

Rub your two brain cells together next time before coming to a conclusion.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious of what he said. The point is he moved the 360 from horizontal to vert when a game was spinning, and then opening up the console to show the proof that the lens scratched the disc. Well no crap it is going to be scratched if he rotates the console with the disc spinning; we already knew about this outcome over a year ago. And placing pads around the lens prevents the lens for scratching th disc was also proved a long time ago. His evidence does not prove that discs can be scratched by the lens with the system has not been moved from horz to vert, plain and simple. I'm not saying discs cannot be stratched in this way, just that his evidence does not prove to the contrary. Try using common sense next time; i realize it's rarely used with the youth.
