Honestly who in there right mind would think it's a good idea to move anything while it's reading a disc. You just asking for trouble doing that.
Moving the New 360 Can Damage Disks

Well, they have addressed and fixed SOME of the problems that cause the RROD. However, the RROD is the indication of an error, not an error in and of itself. It shows up for anything between a power failure, a power surge and your hard drive becoming pudding.USSR said:
This is very true. And, as Straying Bullet said earlier, its one thing to move your console or PC whiling its loading a disk (its still stupid) but to rotate it a complete 90 degrees while the disk is spinning and not expect something shows a rather severe lack of intelligence.Rect Pola said:
Well, to be fair, it's not that much of a chore to press two three buttons (Guide, Y, A) to not wreck your disks while you're moving the 360. I mean, it's not like you're playing the game while you're moving it.
Isn't it common ****ing sense not to move a console at all never mind a 90 degree change while a disk is spinning. Surely you don't have to be a genius to work out that it's not a good idea. He deserves to have his alan wake destroyed on him.
what idiot or situation would deem it necessary to want to flip the console while the disk is spinning in the tray?
that being said the disk will probably get lazer burn or something; this would be a valid consequence for the aforementioned stupidity

Err...no?...that is incorrect...and writing all caps and bold doesn't magically render it true...you can try adding some italics or underline it...maybe that increases the verisimilitude...but I doubt it...Hopeless Bastard said:
Seriously?...you defend Micro by saying they threw inferior Hardware on the market prematurely in complete knowledge of the problem?...the costs of a redesign during development is negligible compared to the cost of using components that don't burn in a mass produced electronic device...not to mention the possibility of loosing against Sony in the battle who has his console on the market first...Micro didn't assume most people knew to keep their shit in well ventilated areas...they assumed most people were stupid enough to buy crap...and they were right...and people are still buying it...I have to admit...it was quite a ingenious business move...creating broken consoles and then cultivating a myriad of fanboys defending the crap...Hopeless Bastard said:
TBH it's generally a very bad idea to move consoles while it's reading a disc anyway, but it is a little annoying that if you move the 360 a bit whilst it's reading a disc it's virtually guaranteed to annihalate (sp? god it's been a long time since I used such a word, but the situation calls for emphasis!) the disc in question. Five times.
What type of moron tries to move their console while it's spinning a disk? Who plays CoD4 and halfway through says "Gee, I should move my console a bunch HURRRRRR." and then complains? just get it in a good fixed position and don't move it. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to halo 3, but probably not because I had a small unnoticeable crack in it and the spinning made it huge. People shouldn't complain about their console if they treat it badly. If you treat a dog badly, chances are it'll bite you in the hand and run away. I know for a fact tha this is the small leverage the PS3 fanboys will use for eternity instead of getting a life, a girlfriend, and stop bashing the other consoles.
there are 50 cent rubber bumpers that go into allmost every other cd drive that prevents the cd from moving and rubbing the inside of the drive whilst the machine is moving. their located on the inner ring that holds the cd. if you have an old cd player from the 90's you can see it
Car cd players even have anti-skip technology that keeps your audio from skipping when you hit sudden bumps
Yea microsoft left them out
[Only on XboX] i think that logo applys here

Wait: why don't we do this? It hardly strikes me as impractical, and you'd be guaranteeing the safety of your disc while it was in the machine...CaptainCrunch said:
Oh wait, people are lazy: having to put effort into anything is a detriment [http://www.lazygamer.co.za/xbox-360/xbox-360-final-fantasy-xiii-on-3-discs-ps3-fans-point-and-laugh/]. I keep forgetting that.
Didn't the PSP use a similar system? I think we should earnestly consider re-implementing this technology into consoles, if only to protect people from their own stupidity. As I noted a page or two ago, common sense does not seem to be something to be relied on anymore.
This is clearly user error. These people have spent hundreds of pounds/dollars on delicate electronics and they're not careful with it. Just why? Unless a Microsoft employee goes and moves their 360 and ruin the disc then it is entirely the owner's responsibility for their 360.
What did they expected, there's a reason why there are portable consoles and stationary consoles.
I'll complain because when I moved my refrigerator from vertical to horizontal postion the food got screwed up.
