DO NOT CHANGE THE POSITION OF YOUR XBOX 360 WHILE IT IS ON WITH A DISC IN THE DRIVE OR YOU RISK POTENTIALLY DAMAGING YOUR GAME DISC.

Well this weekend, a few of us code retards went on a snowboarding trip, and at night we planned on jamming out with Rock Band! Well, snowboarding went great, but Rock Band not so much. Turns out one of the code retards moved the Xbox while it was loading Rock Band, and the DVD got toasted. Hello 40 dollar frezbee! Just a word of caution to everyone out there. DO NOT MOVE YOUR XOBX WHILE GAMES ARE LOADING….IT WILL TOAST YOUR DISK. We tried to save it with a memorex scratch remover kit:

Dont waste your money, that thing didnt do a freaking thing for it, and its garbage!

Microsoft does in fact say the following in the Volume 1: Setup manual that ships with the Xbox 360:

“IMPORTANT
To avoid jamming the DVD drive and damaging discs or the Xbox 360 console:

Remove discs before moving the console or tilting it between the horizontal and vertical positions.

Never use cracked discs. They can shatter inside the console and jam or break internal parts.

When the console is vertical do not use discs that are smaller the standard DVDs and CDs.”
