Xbox 360 Disc Scratching Lawsuit Moves Forward
The suit, which dates back to 2007 says that Microsoft “negligently designed and manufactured” the Xbox 360. The suit also says that the console was “unable to withstand even the smallest of vibrations, and that during normal game playing conditions discs spin out of control and crash into internal console components, resulting in scratched discs that are rendered permanently unplayable.”
In return, Microsoft has said that the disc-scratching issues affected only 0.4 percent of systems by disc-scratching. The company further argues that the main cause of gouged discs is actually consumer misuse, not a product defect. It appears the company is taking this seriously enough that it has actually included a clause in the Xbox One terms of service that doesn’t allow for people to file class action suits because of any defects with the Xbox One that might be found. That won’t protect the company against whatever is coming when it comes to the Xbox 360.

I never had that problem to be honest. Many times I could find my self moving the xbox 360 with a disc inside, and while it was on. I would then realize what I had done and get scared, but nothing happened! :D

I do not see how they would modify xbox 360's now? if it were a defect it would have effected it when you first got the xbox.

Actually the first ever 360 I got was ages ago. It was christmas day and every game I put in the console wouldn't work. I wonder if I was part of that .4%

" resulting in scratched discs that are rendered permanently unplayable"
Most game stores have disc cleaners which polish games to make them playable again.(for a small fee) I know because I have cleaned thousands of games that have had the 360 burn on them. The only scratches you can't fix are on the top of games. (ps2 slim did it too) And it is the consumers fault. People shouldn't move there consoles while the disc is spinning. I think that would be commonsense.
