    It scratches my discs and it makes goofy noises/the light goes on and off all the time. I was wondering what to do with it, where I could get it fixed. I bought it from WalMart last Easter.

    I know with our warantee, we could just return it and get another one. Presuming you didn't buy one, your best bet would be to go ask at Wal Mart for repair.

    Return it..Haha, one time I was playing NBA 2k6, and I accidently kicked my 360, and it fell sideways. The game got screwed up, and it was toast. I just returned it the next day and got a new one, no questions asked. Too easy.

    Well they told me you are'nt supposed to move the Xbox at all. Not from the vertical to the horizontal position or vice-versa. I wrecks the game apparently.

I was just shifting my legs well I wasnt paying attention, and I knocked it over. I now have it farther away from me so I can't knock it over in any way.

I remember this computer nerd in high school saying that he had laptop hard drives in all his PC's, because you could take them in a car or whatever and they wouldn't break.

I haven't really looked at the Xbox that closely. Maybe that's not why, it was just a thought.

    What you need is the 360 air conditioner. The 360 has problems with overheating and causing damage to the game. It cost 15-20 bucks.

    I would almost guarantee the cooling pack would fix your problem.

It seems like perminant problems, not something a cooler could change. Could you give me links or something?

    Most of my friends had similar problems that you do, The guy at Best Buy told them to buy a 360 cooler and the problem was solved.
