I heard that you could use External (USB) HDDs with the 360...is this true? If so, it means you don't have to buy the overpriced M$ ones.
I am no expert but I believe the scratching is a known issue that was the result of a design flaw. Here in The Netherlands, I seem to remember, all consoles that suffered from the problems were fixed by MS at no cost. If you want I can look into it some more. That might help you get yours fixed without having to pay anything.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
