Its a disc destroyer as someone just said, it makes your data unreadable. Kind of pointless - i prefer snapping the disc a few times personally.
I had a launch console, and within a month it scratched PGR3 so bad it was no longer playable. When i rang the support line i was told by some American woman sat in America that it was because most houses in Britain are unstable and this caused vibrations which were the cause of my disc scratching. Honestly, i know 3 year olds that talk more sense.
if anyone who ever purchased any piece of equipment ever read the manuals then 95% of all problems with these said devices would never occur. if you read even the quick start of the xbox 360 console that is on top of the console and also the warning in the box, you would know that you are not supposed to move the 360 from vertical to horizontal while the console is on. this causes the spinning disc to tilt and touch a nearby component of the dvd drive, causing the scratch during the spin. This makes it look like a ring of death. i think we should call it a ring of stupidity because the only way to achieve such a ring is to be really quite dumb.
I did. My console has never ever been in the vertical position since i got it, neither have I intentionally moved it with a disc in. I'd appreciate it if you kept your wild assumptions to yourself in future.

Must be all those earthquakes that we DON'T get that shakes houses. What an amusing response. Don't accept they have a problem and blame the house!

@Ryan about the fact I should of read the manual.
