Default 360 freezing during play

I think i may have a problem with my 360 every week or so while playing, my 360 will make a clicking noise like the disc is stuck, then the console will run really quietly then the picture on my tv will freeze and message will come and say 'the disc is unreadable please clean the disc and reset the console'. I have done this and i have even used a lens cleaner on the 360 itself and yet it is still doing this. Can anyone advise?

This used to happen to me now and again with Oblivion. First of all, I usualy take the disc out and put it straight back in, so it has nothing to do with how clean it is, at least in my case. It could be that the 360 is just overheating a little as it usually happens to me when I've been playing for a few straight hours.

I'm sorry to say this, but this exact same thing happened to me and I ended up taking it back to the shop I bought it from. That same 360 also split one of my discs clean in half.

I am in utter shock. All I have read is that XB360 Freezes for several different games. For damn near $500 there shouldn't be this wide spread type of flaws. What has MS said.

MS said they will repair it free of charge including shipping and handling.

Hmmm well I've heard leaving it horizontal can improve this but its clearly not working in this case.
