..Well not exactly..

I had an xbox 360 when they first came out and it did a good job of scratching up my discs (small scratches near the middle of the CD).

I ended up taking it back and getting a refund and did not both getting another until recently.

I've noticed that its slowly started to scratch my Gears Of War CD more and more.. The "cannot read disc" errors are becoming more frequent too :(

The xbox itself is sitting horizontally and has not been moved since if got it. I was aware that there were problems with the original 360s but i thought this would have been resolved now?

Anyone else had this problem? Do i have to send it off to MS? :(

I also had this problem, but only when the Xbox was an unstable surface.

Its now sat on carpet on the floor and hasn't scratched anything yet...when i had it on a wooden table it scratched my Perfect Dark disk :(

I had this also about 4 weeks back the fucking thing was scratching all my games had to take GOW back 3 times! i then took it back to Asda and i have had a new one. Since then i have it it flat on top of the box it came in and have had no troubles.

I have one at work on display, my one at home is fine, never a disc read error. I find that that one at work gets disc read errors when you use it for prolonged periods and stand the 360 vertically.

I'd get your brick replaced if I were you, it should not be scratching discs.
