That said it does make me mad when large companies do not take their responsibilities seriously.
Hope the Class action lawsuit forces the big M to pony up. Fair is fair guys.

Even though it's not been proven?
It's just down to them using drives without rubber bumpers in earlier drives that were in the 360s. The "problem" would only occur - at least from what has been proven when the 360 was moved when a disc is spinning.
How could a disc be scratched otherwise, it's simply not possible.
It's just careless kids who don't show enough respect to expensive objects. If you drop a vase on the floor and it cracks, you don't expect a free replacment do you? Until it's proven otherwise I don't see where all these comments like yours are coming from.
I know there's plenty of them, but then there are plenty of stupid people around. I'm yet to ever hear from anyone who has experienced this without any doubt of authenticity.

If you watch the vid you will see that the fault can be replicated by even the lightest of shocks.
No tiliting, no contact with the console itself. Just some referred shock such as someone being heavy footed or as is implicitly stated in the video a book being placed down near the XBox.
I think if someone even jumping in the same room as the Xbox can cause the fault then there is a problem.
Heck "Your In The Movies" even gets you to jump and run around as part of the game.
As I stated I have had no problems with my Xbox but I have it placed away from my main play area on its original box on a carpeted floor. Obviously that provides sufficient protection from shocks.

Fair play, thanks for the heads up...Until now it has all sounded like urban legend. Cheers for posting.
