O.P. My first Xbox 360 issue realisation...
I have come to the realisation and haven't heard of this issue before somehow, all my discs are beginning to get scratches, not normal scratches from bad use but in a continuous circle, anyone know how to stop this from happening? *-)
...there used to be a signature here :)

well that's the only way it could be happening. Unless you have your xbox lying upside down?

I think he'd know if it was upside down, because the disk would fall out, and he wouldn't be putting it in at the top.

I heard of a technical fault that causes some games to scratch due to the Xbox's design:

Indeed Nathan, that's a fanboy comment there. :P

Eddie: If you're sure that your XBox isn't tilted, then call MS customer support. I doubt it's likely that there's anything you can do yourself to fix it.
