	----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Microsoft Sued for Scratching Game Discs With previous reports about the XBOX 360 Scratching Discs, yet another report has recently been uncovered by arstechnica.com. It seems that a man from Florida has filed a federal lawsuit against Microsoft accusing them of creating a defective piece of software which scratches the discs and asks for $5 million in damages. Brouwer complains that Microsoft have not anywhere stated not to move the XBOX360 with a disc inside it, which many of us have done for more than one or another reason. Having replaced discs that they published themselves, Microsoft also added a $20 fee to Brouwer for any disc that was published by a third party. If the litigation forces Microsoft into a disc replacement program than the recent $1.05 billion-$1.15 billion bill that Microsoft is facing for extending the warranty may increase even more.

	There's a big sticker covering every X360's disc drive that you have to remove to access it that reads "DO NOT MOVE CONSOLE WHILE DISC IS IN USE. MAY RESULT IN DISC BEING SCRATCHED." bleeping morons.

	I was just about to say that Cdemon. Not only that, I believe it's written in several different places in the instruction manual. Even if it wasn't, what kind of tool changes the orientation of a console when the disc is spinning? I hope this guy gets fined for wasting the court's time. ------------------- [ Derrick Comedy ] [ JakeandAmir ]

	except hes going up against a multibillion dollar company with false claims. OMFG wat an idiot i just checked my 360 (which i bought like 4 weeks ago) after reading this, and right where u put in the disk there is a sticker covering it exactly saying what he claims it doesnt. It even says not to move the console with the disc in it in three seperate languages. Maybe thats just me, but i didnt remove the sticker.

	This makes as much sense as that family suing a school because thier daughter didn't make the cheerleading squad. Wait, ya know what? This actually makes much less sense. They sate not to move the console with a disk in it several times. I know it's in the manual but I don't know for sure where else. -------------------

Also, the man suing was like a big time lawyer or judge or something, lol. What an idiot. And on the subject, even if there wasn't a sticker, why should Microsoft give him $5million? It's just a game worth like $60. The lawsuit should just be dismissed instantly. -------------------
