Microsoft Refusing To Replace Game Discs Scratched by the 360?

GameShout reports that gamers are saying the 360 is scratching game disks which basically makes them worthless. The problem is, Microsoft won't replace the disk, but will repair the console. They offer a free copy of Perfect Dark Zero as a replacement, but that does no good if you already have or don't want that game.

I have read where some 360 owners moved the 360 from the horizontal position to the vertical position while a game was spinning inside. That caused the game to get scratched - well duh!

I'm not sure if that's the only way a game could get scratched or if there is another problem with the console. I'll be looking for more info on this.

In the meantime, keep your 360 in the horizontal position and don't move it while games are inside. That's the best thing to do to prevent possible scratching of the disk.
