No,call the support then.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

You weren' t turning the 360 around were you whilst the game was running?

I think he make this story up.

Takes 1 week to get a new 360.
And you might even get a free game then.

And this guy says things like that :P

I wonder if he' s new here? hmm...


Anyways. I' ve heard of this problem happening, but only if you were doing something stupid like putting pressure on the 360 from the side, or if you were trying to put it on its side while it was still on. Because if not, there' s no explanation for what is " scratching your disk to buggery" . I haven' t gotten around to actually opening up my 360 yet. Not a chance while it' s still under warantee, but unless there' s something sharp, or with a defined edge, hanging down on the drive, I can' t see how that could happen.

This new chaps full of crap, he' s even got confused between the different errors other people have had!

The vertical horizontal issue for htose of us with not enough common sense to know that moving a console around with a disc spinning is not a good idea.

The idea of that (common with laptops or any high speed cd drive actually) error affecting all your games..


Nah, hes just annoyed that the sexy new machine has been delayed and doesnt want MS to get any more sales if he can help it!

the fact that he has a Playstation logo for is avatar is enough to make his story bogus. Just another idiot sony fanboy.

Joe, you need to use proper English here. This isn' t Gamespot.



As for the topic at hand -- it' s bullsh*t and not worth my time.

Yeah, It' s very nice, but there' s something about it that irritates me, I just can' t figure out what.

Well, for one, you' d be suprised how many people here are european. And on top of that, Americans didn' t decide that PS3 went to them first (even in the dismal ammounts they are) Sony did, if you' ve got a problem with it, have a hissy-fit at them.

Well, he' s european, so a language barrier isn' t out of the question, but even still, It' s a forum and a keyboard, not Xbox live on your controller' s Dpad

My first 360 was deffective and I had to send it in, wasn' t a big deal though. Because I live in Canada MS had no choice (according to Canadian law) but to replace the 360 at no charge. I didn' t even pay for shipping and I recieved a bran new 360 within a week. Not a big deal. I remember when my ps2 was deffective Sony BS' d their way into not replacing it.
