Angry ****ALERT - POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO XBOX 360 DISC****

I've just gone to play PGR3, only to be greeted with the message that the disc is dirty.

Upon ejecting the disc, have a look at this!!!!





Not impressed

Thankfully, Game are being cool - I can change the game (going in after I finish typing this)

The only thing I can think of is that My 360 is vertical rather than horizontal.

Game are also going to give me Microsoft's number, just in case.


WATCH YOUR DISCS!!!!!!!!

Mines flat as well. Played on it for about 12 hours on-stop yesterday with no problems at all. It didn't even overheat

Rest assured, I have NOT moved the 360 Gonna call Microsoft anyway, as after looking at the movie in the link (thanks, btw), my disc is scratched in a different place and just to register the fault - in case it happens again

Showed the manager in Game and he said "****!" - instant replacement though, so thumbs up to Game.

Now, PGR3, here I come

Yeah I had noticed that the scratches on your disc were in a different place from those on the movie file, glad to hear that Game have changed it as I also have read that M$ are not going to exchange any discs that are scratched as they state in the manual that the unit should not be moved during gameplay etc, I know you didn't but you know what they are like !!!!
