Oh dear, the sh*t just got serious.

No surprise.
They knew customers would by unaware but they needed the money and didnt care for customers.. Xbox360 FULL of failures.. Bad hardware that gives you ring of death and games unplayable.. They knew it but they also knew people wud be dumb enough to buy it så they said to themselves aha screw em we get the money :)

Can't wait to hear the excuses in this thread. I expect the typical differing.

finally happen.

Lol.

This guy wants 50k for three f*#@ing scratched discs?

Welcome to the wonderful world of victimhood and ambulance-chacing lawyers.

MS should only replace the discs or the unit itself.

Microsoft is a software company not a hardware companies so consider the XBOX360 in Beta, they will get it right one day.

An Xbox 360 will scratch a game disc if the console is never moved at all. My cousin has a X360. He swears by it. He treats his 360 like it is made of gold. It scratches all his discs. He knows it scratches all of his discs, why else would they all be scratched. It has even scratched one of my original Xbox games (I play KOTOR on his system one time and there is one light ring scratched into the disc about 1/3 of the way from the outer edge. He simply doesn't care that the 360 scratches his discs.

Even though he never moves his system while the disc is spinning, all his games are scratched. Yet, most of those games are still playable. Out of about 25 games he has owned, his 360 has scratched 3 to the point of being unplayable. Those games are 1. Gears of War, 2. Rainbow Six Vegas, and 3. Soul Calibur IV. Since he can still play most of his games he just keeps on playing.

Still there is no way this is his fault.

FAIL !

its always some with xbox isn't it? well i hope you 360 owners are wise next time and avoid anything microshaft sell in the future.

i guess you sony droids must be hard up for some ass to put up with this fat girl named juuken, hence why this amazon of a "girl" has so many bubbles. i mean look at her great post:"Stop making excuses for them you dumbass". juuken, many times ,many times ,you HAVE BEEN PROVEN THE DUMBASS. guess you sony fuktards need an anti-360 "article" with all the TRUTHFUL, hurtful news lately about your "god" sony thats been recently released. i would feel sorry for ya droid dumb fvcks, but for some reason i do not.

You guys are just idiots. My Xbox 360 breaks, its okay ill just get an exchange. Oh it breaks again, I'll just exchange it again. My Xbox 360 scratches my disk, it's okay. Even though Microsoft knew this would happen, its my fault. Wake up really. This is worst than being brain washed. Its just like being in an abusive relationship. He hit me but its okay, I'll just forgive him. Oh he hit me again, I'll just forgive him again. His mother told me he's very abusive but its my fault not his. Oh hit cut me, its okay I'll just go to the hospital. I feel sorry for you people.. Really I do.

If I remember correctly...if you move the console when it is on, you'll get a nice circular scratch. The question is: why did this guy continue to use his 360 if it was scratching his games? Very dumb on his part. FYI, if anyones console is scratching discs...don't put anymore discs in the tray. If you do continue to put discs in your tray, promptly sue.

Its crap like this that makes me yearn for the good ole' days of gaming.

why does this actually stink of some damage control part from the sony(fans)? after a real testing week for their ps tripple cell reinforced powerhouse gaming console that "could" save lives and play games at the same time.... this comes out of nowhere again? every guy with half a brain knows not to be stupid enough and move the console around while disk is spinning. idiots

One of my 360 replacement consoles was horizontal and never moved, yet scratched 3 of my games into oblivion before I figured out what the hell was going on when the games stopped playing. One of the games was brand new and never played in another console before, so I know it was that console they sent me.

MS initially refused to take it back, even though it was a replacement I had only had for a month. They said disk scratching units weren't covered under the 3 year warranty, only the first year from the time I bought my first console. Thankfully I had bought an extended warranty and they reluctantly replaced it again. What a pain in the ass that was. Don't get me started about the $340 MS charged me for 2 rrod repairs on my Visa that I had to fight for months to get back. Bunch of bastards.

The point is this, why doesnt this happen with other systems my Fing 3DO doesnt even have this problem when I have moved or adjusted it while playing.....known fact, MS hardware has been in question from Day 1, there is no reason to act as if they built a great machine now.

on the manual come with every 360 said DONT MOVE IT WHILE ITS ON

HA-HA

i swear if another xbot b!tch come in here defending that bullsh*t imma give his god damn life the red rings of death

Exactly , its not about the common sense, its about, Hey MS do you think people read their manual, say a family who buys it and takes it home, PRETTTTY sure not, do some ? of course, but why can other manafactures get it done but you decide naw 50 cents isnt worth it while others said it is? ya got me

ate about 6 or 7 of my game discs, including several copies of NHL, and not even when it was being moved. Was my second or third PS2 at that point as well. But I sure as sh*t didn't sue sony for making a crap console. What kind of jackass moves anything while a disc is spinning in it, anyway?

Tsk Tsk Tsk, no wonder the Sh1tbox 3-Fix-Me sold 24million, the Xbot zombie lemming fuktards just keep on buying new ones because their other ones broke due to its inferior hardware.

you must be gay, using words like "buddy". No-one gets pissy on n4g except the playstation heads anyways. you all are the ones always butt hurt over the "stories" on this site. For some reason you all care more about n4g then you do actually playing games. number 2 rule for voicing an opinion hey heyhey, (.............)<-----these aren't commas. besides this is a internet site, it isn't like anyone here is writing an article for a newspaper/magazine, so next time before you and ya b/f david want to talk sh1t, you may want to remember to STFU. neither one of your post's are written correctly neither. fvcking people. must be from europe, with ya arrogance!

@yz250

lmfao..

so fvcking true, that clown heyheyhey is a racist as$ european.. he goes all around the place saying the same sh!t, learn grammar and spelling but yet he needs to learn it too..

then the clown writes no one will read your sh!t.. didnt you read it to reply to it?? fvcking moron!!!

Seriously, I was on the fence this xmas about what system to get, but other than HALO3, I couldnt think of a reason to get a Xbox so I went and bought one, tried it out. I dug the NXE I must admit its clean and simple, however 2 things erked me, the Drive is way to loud, and I know you can install the game, but with a 60GIG HD no thanks, and 149.99 for a 120 gig? No thank you, and no wifi. But what really ticked me off is I cant transfer video and music from my USB device? really MS? Wow, so I tried the PS3, I dont dig the XMB is not fluid enough and to boring, but the functions of the system are neat and wifi and BR in it and free PSN, couldnt resist picked it up last night, well see how much i like it in teh next 30 days

Microsoft knew about the problem, had the option (3 actually) to help alleviate the chance of disk scratching, but chose not to do any of them. Sure it would have raised the cost of producing a 360 (according to the article, bumpers would have added 50 cents to the cost), but what if this claim wins? 50K. How many more will follow suit? Chances are very likely they will settle out of court. MS just don't want the publicity.

XBOX 360 = $H!T

Alot of people have been getting hit lately if u notice.
Like in chicago the 15 officers, blagoyavich, etc..
09 is coming in....

well xbox390 should of been designed alot better

its there fault for having a DISC TRAY thats why peoples games get scratched like its been in 2 rounds with a BRILLO PAD and they call themselves a next gen console.

i remember when my ps2 use to scratch my games alot because of the DISC TRAY im quite sure microsoft knew about these issues they cant be that dumb surely

even a flipping wii doesn't have a bloody disc tray....

scratched dvds very bad when i pressed the eject button the disk came out spinning like crazy man it could cut my hand off but seriously it came out spinning not a problem anymore cause he died of a strange illness (RROD) and i bought my new toy ps3.

Regarding the disc scratching issue, that really is a poor state of affairs. I've had my PS3 standing upright since the day I bought it (because its a great space saver on my desk), and my games are as scratch-free as the day I bought them.

In twenty years people are gonna laugh about how people put up with such a huge amount of ѕhit from their GAMES CONSOLE!
