Earlier whilst playing Fifa I accidentally knocked over my Xbox when it was standing vertical, the game then froze and I turned it off. I have just turned it on and there is a clicking noise coming from the DVD tray and Fifa isn't loading. Have I broken it? Sad

Scratch that, I just took Fifa out of the Xbox and it is scratched to buggery, rendering it unplayable. Crying or Very sad All other games are fine. I have no money to replace this game, how annoying!

Send me the disk and I'll sort it out for you mate. Just include a SAE and I'll do it for free for you.

You can then sing my praises to all Smile

Hmmm. I did the exact same thing with the same game. Was laser burnt. I took it to Gamestation to get the scratches removed (2.99). After that it looked brand new but the game still wouldn't work. Always crashed before kick off!
So I borrowed my mates copy and I think he's forgotten.

I had to settle for a "helpful" rating. I couldn't find a "cynically exploitative in the name of commerce" tag Wink

Don't jump on the ground, knock the table or let a mouse fart near it or it will still eat a disc.

Never put your 360 vertical... It eats discs like that as you've found out.

I have to keep bollocking customers for t purely because of the amount of dust that settles in the grills, then falling inside onto the heatsink.

Which when I open their case it proceeds to cover me in their shitty skin filled dust, YUCK!
