sorry mate, but that’s total bs you snapped up from the web: the scratched discs derive from morons who think they should turn their xbox360 from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while the disc inside is spinning at who-knows-how-many rpm, maybe they even danced samba with it. the overheating derives from the fact that the people put the amp or/and the console into a cabinet so that no air could flow. and melting plug sockets? erm … i haven’t heard that before, but did they use a firelighter to achieve that?
i have absolutely no problem with mine except that it’s drive is fecking loud. the console pwnz everything that’s out there console-wise
