So there's a story over on Kotaku about some dude suing MS due to his 360 scratching 3 of his games. He's looking for $50,000. The games were Rock Band, RB2 and GTAIV.
Come on, is this really serious? He claims that "the Xbox 360 was not of merchantable quality or safe or fit for its intended use, because it was unfit for the ordinary purposes for which it was used, because the Xbox 360 cannot play any discs during normal use without permanently damaging those discs."
But how are we to know that's true? He probably toppled it by accident during a particularly heated session of "You Really Got Me". And, as we all know, you're not supposed to move your 360 while you're playing something.
Can this dude really get 50 grand outta this? If so, couldn't we all? I mean, my 360 has scratched to bits my BioShock and Assassin's Creed, but I'm not complaining.
Ok, well maybe about BioShock...

I hope the first.
MS probably should be sued for selling shoddy crap, but they have enough money to get lots of scary lawyers.
The main problem I have is that it does crack the interior of discs because of the heat generated inside the console that weakens the disc. I have so far lost a few games to this, none of which I was happy about. This is without touching the 360 while it is operating (Horizontally as well)
