Retarded. I want to know how it manages to scratch the discs, seeing as how it shouldn't ever touch them physically.

It's when you move the system from vertical to horzontal.  While its on and while a disks spinning in there.

Those morons deserve to have their discs ruined. Everybody knows tipping a computer with a CD in it = stupid. (My friend OZ found that out the hard way, he tipped a computer from horizontal to vertical with a CD in there and the CD literally shattered into tiny little fragments. The CD drive was unusable until I finally took the time to clean it! Good thing I ripped his Baldur's Gate CDs, otherwise he'd be short CD1. :P)

That's true of any disk drive that isn't designed to be turned about while it's in use.  This is a stupid claim.

Plus there is a warning RIGHT in the front of the Xbox 360 manual, that says not to do this.

Plus, people should have common sense to look at the cd drive and realize theres nothing really holding it down.

That depends. I used to have a CD-drive that had little hands you could extend over the CD to hold it when the computer goes vertical. :P

Well, I didn't know that so I posted this. :p

Yeah, those dumbasses deserve to have their cd's scratched then.
