[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 5503290, member: 568679"] i want to say negative, why? cause there is a small plastic piece that is mounted to the top of the cd drive. the plastic piece holds a tiny magnet ring that when the cd drive is closed it magnetizes itself to another magnet found on the part that spins the cd. that, holds the cd in place. that magnet is pretty strong as well. the reason why disk become scratched up like that is because they either A. moved the 360 from an upright position and laid it down(while game is running) B. move the 360 from a laid down position to an upright position(while game is running)\ C. the magnetic ring has come lose from it's position and allows the game to spin freely in the drive. one downfall of sitting the 360 upright like that is you are constricting the amount of airflow into the 360 which gives you a higher risk of heating up the 360 and causing it to warp the motherboard and rrod. the bottom of the 360 is the only place that allows the most air flow into the 360. the Hard drive on the top reduces the amount. overall. laying it flat is good.
