Xbox scratching disc's

I know this is a common "flaw" on the Xbox 360, that it tends to scratch disc's, if tilted (Which is common sense. Not a flaw, hence the "")

But, here is where my Xbox is standing out from the rest.

I bought Black Ops at release.

I went home, and popped the sucker in.

I played, and played and played.

The 20th of January, playing single-player, my Xbox goes: "SCRRRRRRRCCCCH... BA-DUNK!" and pops open the tray. (Please note, it is laying down on a stable surface.)

I check my disc to see that it is scratched.

I contacted Xbox support. They replied:

I mean, wtf? All I did was saying that the Xbox scratched my disc's whilst laying down, and if they had a repair service or something. (Oh, yeah. And I did write to him in English.)

I went to GameStop and got a new copy of Black Ops, with ensurance.

I went home, and popped the sucker in.

I played for 5 days, and my Xbox goes: "SCRRRRRRRRRCH... BA-DUNK!" and pops open the tray. (Still laying down, stable.)

It's scratched, all the way around.

I went to GameStop, got a new game. (Ensurance)

I deleted CoD 4 from my Xbox harddrive and installed BO.

Fml.

Anyone else tried this?

Out of all the consoles I've owned (numerous xbox 360's) I've never had this 'flaw.'

i havent really got that serious shit, but xbox is bound to scratch your disc, but not a full round rape

Nice pic nigga

Hmm this is strange. Send your xbox to microsoft.

My xbox scratched a brand new movie once. It left blue lines all over the cd but it hasn't happened since.

usually this occurs when you leave a game in and either take it from vertical to horizontal, or vice versa and the 360 is on. i'd call tech support and talk to them directly.

It Onced scratched the Multiplayer off my friends CoD 4 But the only other time it scratched something was when it got flipped off my desk
a problem with your disk tray/reader

you could probably bring it to a computer shop to have the reader replaced...

install it and you will be fine.
But otherwise, its your disc tray.
Send it in for repairs.

Yea. I'mma send it for repair. It's just pissing me off.

@Zen, it's horizontal at all times.
