XBOX 360 Media Scratch

So you think that overheating PSU is the only major problem XBOX360 has now? Well think again. A Lamma group recently just discovered that having a disc in your XBOX while tilting it from Vertical-Horizontal or the other way round causes a "Brtttttt" scrach sound on the disc reader. Although this issue has been warned in the XBOX360 manual, who does RTFM when you're so excited to boot the most anticipated console of the year??? Unfortunately for these guys they didnt get to play their some of the levels in the game due to this unfortunate incident.

I never feel good having a disc spinning vertically. From what it sounds like, the PS2 does the same things to the discs. Just leave it horizontal and it will probably be fine. It also occurs to me that everyone is trying to find things wrong with the damn thing. Do people just want more reason to hate it? lol

Take a look at the video they recorded using a Quake 4 demo disc. Awfull sound! >_<
