Well, today was the day that many of us were waiting for, the day Rockstar finally graced us with GTA4. I picked up my copy today but had to wait till just a little while ago to finally play it.
So, I tear the plastic open, insert the disc, sit through the opening cinema when I hear a horrible grinding noise.
"Did I just hear a grinding noise" I think to myself. My 360 has been making them lately but only when I exit out to the dashboard. I figure that I must have either imagined it or heard something in the game. Less than a minute later, grinding noise again. Now I freak out.
Wanting to test it, I put in another game. No grinding noise. Figuring it to be a fluke, I put GTA 4 back in. Not even 5 seconds in, grinding noises. I tough it out till I save after the first mission and take the disc out. That when I noticed that my fucking 360 has already scratched the disc (I wanted to get a picture but the camera's flash made it impossible to see the scratch) Looks like it's time to call MS and get an extended warranty.
The part that pisses me off about this is that it chose now to do this. Why couldn't it have decided to fuck me over when I bought Jumper?

My condolences to the family.
It was $15 and I remembered being vaguely interested (mainly for the shark tank execution).
Bad luck dude :(
I actually thought about buying the PS3 bundle just in case. But decided against it.
Its not a bad scratch. Nothing that a trip to a resurfacer won't fix. It still pisses me off that my 360 scratched it in the first place. I only hope that I can get the warranty. I called them a month or two about the grinding issue so hopeful they didn't report that I was having problems with it.
Just as a rhetorical question: if they refuse to let me get an extended warranty should I try to induce a RROD?
that or sell it on ebay, because lets face it, if you buy 360s used, you deserve to buy a bricked system.
