MS: Scratched 360 Discs Affect 'Less than 1pct'

Following the filing of a class action lawsuit revolving around scratched Xbox 360 discs, Microsoft said Tuesday that only a very small amount of users have experienced the problem.

"While we have had some users contact us with concerns about scratched discs, it is much less than 1 percent of the total Xbox 360 user base," a Microsoft spokesperson told Edge in a statement.

The rep continued, "Xbox 360 is designed so that it will not damage a game disc as long as the console is not moved while the disc is spinning. Too much movement of any game console, not just Xbox 360, can cause scratches on a disc."

1%, didn't they say the same thing about the ROD?

It didn't scratch my discs, it cracked them right down the middle.

Out of the friends I have with 360s, none have had a disc scratching problem. That said, 3 out of 4 of us have had RRoD :(

On the plus side, MS (or GAME in one instance) have dealt with them all and either repaired or replaced.

All of my friends with 360s have gotten the RRoD at least once. Most of them twice.
