This goes to show that no xbox 360, no matter what version, is exempt from fault.   There are sites with forums that discuss this sort of thing, i have not experienced it but everytime i turn on my 360, i am worried it will happen.  Anyways, you might be able to find more info at www.llama.com just navigate through their xbox section.

well microsoft will blame everything on you so get used to it. but my friend that works for microsoft recommends that you should NOT leave your games in the tray when your not palying. he said it has sometihng to do with the humidity around the xbox and sometimes it gets to much exposure and wen u turn it on, it powers up wayyyy to high and thats what causes wearing and scratching of a game. so dont leave your game in the xbox for any period of time your not playing. jsut a good hint that has made me not have a single scratch on any discs for 3-4 years. Good luck

if the case is standing upright it is more likely to shake, thus scratching the disc. if it is on it's side and the disk was scratched, you're skrued. MS soposedly fixed this problem, but i guess that some people are getting their discs scratched. sorry dude.
