Why would your 360 leave an ugly ring on your disc? Easy, it's depending on it's exact location of where the Xbox 360 is placed in your home. Vibration from the surrounding area causes earlier 360 systems to skip the disc.
So how was the test performed?
Taking a new Xbox 360 and one that had been known to cause the circular disc scratch, BBC Watchdog placed each console on a level surface with a vase of water next to it to help monitor movement. Then, the tests began, starting with small vibrations to simulate walking around the house. Both consoles passed, but when the strength of the vibrations was increased to the level of a book dropping on a table, the older Xbox 360 put a big ring on the disc inside of it, whereas the new unit performed swimmingly.
Now the only thing I wish, is Microsoft would admit the importance of where an Xbox 360 should be placed.
