Microsoft has admitted Saturday night that there is a flaw in the Xbox 360. That happened in the Dutch television programme "Kassa". The flaw causes CDs and DVDs that are spinning in the player to get damaged.
According to a press declaration from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 can cause scratches. Initially the company denied to be guilty for the damage. Microsoft kept saying for months that the gamers themselves are responsible for scratches on the discs.

Hmm, thanks for this info. I wonder how bad the condition of the cd or dvd can get & if even buying a 360 is worth the hassle?
modern x360 don't do that just old revisions. even if it happens, its very rare and m$ will refund everything.
the issue is pretty old news though

Wear happens, but it shouldnt be so bad. Imho you should be able to order a new disc for like $5 if you paid for the game
It's the new way of ripping people off, I guess.
Oh well, more reason to make "backup" copies...
