like i said in my other post
i got my 360 a day after it came out. i have been playing for many hrs and days with different games no problem. but then i took it to my friends house and i now have many problems. 1 is that it frooze after many hrs of playing need for speed. 2 i was playing madden 06 and it said the disc was unreadable and only been playing not even a full match. then i took it out and saw that there was a srach that my 360 made only with this game and it looked like a thick ring on the edge around the hole dics. and also i was playing nba 2k6 and when i play the game mode where u make a player and play in the street at different places and also when u just pick a nba player and play on the street it works fine but then when any player gets to 12 i can't check the ball but i could quit and do everything els in the game just not keep playing. but when i play a quick game or franchise mode it works fine. all this started yesterday and is still happening.

well maybe that should discourqage you from toting it around and if you do make sure that you have a carrier or package it back up in the box

I read over at joystiq that you should avoid keeping it verticle especially if it is prone to being knocked over (which will typically result in the game being scratched up). Also, as we are all well aware, keep the 360 in a ventilated area.

No problems with mine. It is horizontal on top of my xbox, but well ventilated. The Power Supply is also well ventilated. Have gamed for six hours straight at ne strech with no problems. Sorry you are having troubles.

mines been fine, but a buddy of mine has had porblems with games locking up on him. He called M$ and they told him to return the game to the store, if the problem still happens call M$ back and they would send him a empty box to send his 360 back to them and that he would get a new one within 8 days. (this was about 3 days ago, so i dont know if he had received the return box yet or not)

i was playing madden 06 and it said the disc was unreadable and only been playing not even a full match. then i took it out and saw that there was a srach that my 360 made only with this game and it looked like a thick ring on the edge around the hole dics.

Same thing happened to one of my games. I know exactly how it happened though. I had my console vertical, and for some odd stupid reason I got the urge to see what it looked like horizontal. So with the game running I oddly enough decided to get out of my seat and move the console to the horizontal position. MISTAKE!! I heard a little screech noise and thought, oh crap! but the game was still running, so I decided to load up a course, dirty disc error occurred. I took out the disc and sure enough a thick ring around the disc near the edge. So do not move the console while a disc is in it. Maybe thats what happened to your Madden06. Luckily I had no problem exchanging the game. :vroam:
