Class-action law suit against 360

Actually, I believe the new warranty and reimbursement stuff just covers systems infected with the RROD. The disk scratching is something else. What's worse is that a whole lot of systems do it. I don't know if some of the disk drives have the feet to protect the disk, but many of them don't so even the slightest nudge on the 360 could potentially ruin a disk because the disks spin much faster than the disk drives of previous generation consoles. That has happened to my friend when he moved his 360 foward an inch because it was close to falling off of the stand where it was sitting and it ruined his Oblivion disk.

I wonder what's become of the thing in the UK where somebody was demanding the total amount of scratching rates (or was it RROD?).

No offense but the giant sticker on the 360 that says "Do not move unit while in operation" means just that. I can't believe that people are so shocked when you move a vertical player and it scratches the hell out of the disc.

Didn't we already go through this with the PS2?

Actually, I can move my PS2 while playing a game and it doesn't destroy the disk (fat v3 PS2). In fact, the only time it destroyed a disk is when it fell off my bookshelf. Luckily, I was only renting that game.

It's more in-depth than just 'Do not move unit while in operation' since the 360 can scratch disks so easily. Many of the disk drives don't even have the rubber feet that are supposed to help prevent that kind of thing. Maybe they should add a big sticker that says 'Warning, console may suddenly fail at any given time'? I find it interesting that you compared what I said about my friend moving his 360 foward an inch and then talked about turning the 360 from a horizontal to vertical position.
