so, the 360 has another way to destroy itself.  LOL

This....everybody should know don't move your 360 around when a disc is spinning around in it.

Scratched the Disc eh? guess thats what you get for buying a Xbox rip off The XBOB and moving it while in play

LOL this has always been a problem for the 360....but ask yourself this.  Who the hell is gonna move a game console right in the middle of playing a game...especially since that game console will most likely be in your entertainment section.

Come on its just plain common sense....

This is a re-design though. You'd think they would have fixed this design flaw in a re-design. As someone above said, it'd be pretty easy for kids to knock the console when playing on Kinect. At least (for MS) they've covered themselves legally with the label.

It's common sense but PS3's are better b/c this problem doesn't exist for them.  You basically want to design products for the dumbest possible user.             

But, the PS3 is made by an electronics  giant so this is no surprise.

I could not possibly tell by the sticker on the disc tray. I will now not buy this because now I can't play it in the industrial washing machine where I live.

What is up with so many people defending the 360's build quality?  It RROD's.  "Oh well, they replace it for free."  "You shouldn't play it so long."  It scratches discs.  "Oh it's cause the people who use it are dumb."  "There's a sticker now telling you not to move it."  Then they give these exaggerated circumstances of how it would be moved.  Guys, the guy barely moved it before it started scratching the disc.  You can do that pluging something into the 360 itself.  Or what if someone accidently bumps into or knocks it over?  And let's not forget about Kinect, where you're going to be moving all around and jumping.  BBC Watchdog even proved last year that a 360 could scratch discs without even being touched while playing.  The point is they should be fixing these problems, not covering them up.

What's sad is that MS missed a big opportunity to improve the quality of the 360 all around.  Instead, it seems they merely slapped a new cover and threw in Wi-Fi.  What's even sadder is that people are actually defending a shoddy disk drive.

@ adobo

Are you actually implying that PS3 owners are jealous of a the new 360 cause it has a new feature (Wi-Fi) and a Piano Black finish?  Do you remember what a PS3 Phat is right?  And I hope you're not talking about the 250 GB HDD, cause I got a 500 GB in mine.  Can you clarify how these PS3 guys should be jealous?

You call that barely moving it???  he almost lifted it 90 degrees while moving it from side to side a bit.  When you plug something in nothing is gonna happen...and most people have their 360s inside of an entertainment so yeah.

People are WAY WAY over playing this.

wow that was a crazy noise. I just don't understand why people move them in the first place?
