It does, But no one would move a console while a disc was spinning within it surely? it's common sense and basic physic right?
I had this problem with Battlestations Midway about 2 weeks ago, it was brand new put it in after about 10 mins horrible noise and game grinded to a holt. The disc was completely scored 
I called MS they told me that I'd moved the 360 whilst playing the game
and that MS warranty has a disclaimer against the movement of the console whilst a disc is inside blah blah etc etc...
The woman actually told me not to stand the 360 vertically then it wouldn't happen again
I said that you guys advertise it to stand vertically? she replied if you don't want it to scratch another disc then have it horizontal

smae place on mine, goes about 2mm into the silver data layer and results in bubbling of the silver layerbegbo said:Happened to me too, pgr3! Crack on the inside of the disc, would be nearly impossible for anyone to do. Not so happy.
Wow at the video, i can honestly say mine is horizontal and has never been moved while playing. As someone mentioned, it's common sense not to move it while its running.
It'll be interesting to see what gamestation have to say tomorrow morning
Updates to come

could M$ only be covering their discs because they actually went with a worse quality disc, and the problem could be with the disc's themselves getting scratched way to easily? in which case it might not be console, but M$ cheapness at fault(ok even if it is the console its still down to M$ being cheap

Thats atrocious - if MS have admitted (in part) there is a potential problem they should replace discs for free - isnt it bad enough the customer has been inconvenienced?
How much does anyone reckon it costs MS to replace a disc considering packaging, posting and admin etc.....a few quid per disc at most, there must be a handsome profit in charging £10 per item ....scandalous

Yeah, They (Distributor/Publisher) just class it as "user damaged media". Whether you damaged it or your console did, is irrelevent. I would imagine they ask you to send off your copy of the game. I had to do this once for a PS2 game years ago and I think for £7.50 they just sect me a new disc in a paper envelope. As I posted them my original damaged one they knew I had paid for 1 copy of the game so £7.50 didn't seem like a raw deal(bearing in mind I broke the disc!)
