I want to know, because whoever thought of it should be slapped.
It just ate my sega CD collection, mainly becuase I wasn't expecting it to start playing the disc as soon as I put it in.
None. Because I lay my 360 horizontally like it should be, and I don't move the thing ever if it is on and/or has a disc in it.
In the future, use the forum search bar, threads about this subject have been done to death.

My xbox hasn't ruined any of my discs, and I've had it since they first released the 360.
But I do always make sure to take out my disc quickly whenever my xbox starts acting funny.
Don't worry even if the thing is acting "funny". They can only "eat" discs if the console is moved while a disc is inside being read and even if it is not being read.

I find the frequency of these threads disturbing. There is this one, and there was one last month and there was one the month before that.
It's amazing how many people can't keep their 360s in a stable unmovable position.
Tips:
1.) Your 360 must always be in a horizontal position. If for some life-ending reason that you must have it vertical, find a way for it to be nail down so it can't move period. Well, since this isn't possible, always keep your 360 in a horizontal position.
2.) When changing discs, treat it like it is a skittish little woodland animal that is in a paralyzed shock and could possibly die if you touch it too hard. If you feel you can't do this. Use your controller to shut off the console, let it sit for a second, then open the tray and put the new disc in.
3.) Do not treat your 360 like a maraca if there is a disc inside, well even if it has a disc inside. =P
4.) If you feel you can't touch your 360 while it is own without moving it, turn if off with the controller, and for get about gaming. Do not even by another gaming system or try to play PC games. If you can't not handle a 360 properly, anything else will probably explode. Take up a new hobby like knitting. But wait, that has sharp objects. Okay, just sit still and never move again. =P

my old xbox360 destroyed like 4 my new one has not yet the reason for old one first time because it didn't I know about the disc ring thingy and it tilted and I was sad and I lost my cod3(favorite of the series so far) :< and the rest were just random like one example my neighbors had a party and i live in a duplex and i was playing halo 3 and all of sudden CRACAFHSH and disc got a ring and so on random stuff like that
I've got something wonderful to tell you. It is about this amazing new thing in writing called punctuation. With a simple ".", you can separate what you are talking about into sections so it is understandable to people. It is one of the greatest things to happen to writing; it is as good as the newfangled thing called "capitalization of the beginning of each sentence".
It is hard to read what you wrote, because it is hard to tell where each thought starts and ends in some spots, not to mention that the grammar is atrocious and there are obviously words missing.
That is all. This has been my grammar PSA for the month.
