Disc Protectors?

Hi Guys,

Ever since I got my 360 it has, occasionally, scratched the games for no reason, and once in a while the drive makes a bit of a grinding noise while spinning up/down.

First I'll get it out the way: I DO NOT, have not, and NEVER will move my console while it is turned on. I'm totally paranoid about that, if I ever have to move it I even unplug it just so I don't knock the power button.

My console is mounted on its side on a stable, flat and perfectly level surface to the side of the TV, it can't get knocked or nudged.

After ringing MS when I first got it to try get a replacement they told me MS UK has a deal with their retailers, if a game is scratched by the console then take it back to the shop and you will get a replacement. Which I have to say they have been very good at, not been refused one yet.

However Im getting pretty sick of having to return my games and I've lost a couple of receipts.

Is there anything out there I can try and do to stop the disc from moving in the drive?

I see that Divineo do a protector very cheap, that claims to solve the problem, does it work? are there other solutions?

Many thanks!
