Indeed, the Blu-ray coating is exceptionally resistant and pretty amazing engineering to get it onto the disc. The problem with your xbox 360 is not any coating on the DVDs, it's the xbox. Generally I've only seen cases of those circular scratches if someone moves the xbox while the disc is spinning, but there may be cases where it spontaneously happens. It's one of the disadvantages of the extreme speeds the disc spins, it has a lot of rotational inertia, and even a small imperfection on the disc or drive spindle could cause it to wobble in the drive and scratch.
B3D News Item: Xbox 360 System Update Preview (US-Only)

My Xbox went through a period of basically grinding the outer edges of discs off. Since I've had it upright it's stopped doing it.
Laying it down now but my son used to have it vertical. I haven't purchased a game(Halo Reach) until recently but I am scared to try, so now I just install to hard drive.
Major Nelson had said we should see something that says "Pending" on the Microsoft Connect site. It took some work finding, but I finally see where it says that. Whew. But I still hate waiting for stuff like this.

I thought we were supposed to get Hulu support along with more support for Kinect controls. You guys think we'll have that as well in the preview? I'm guessing not, but it would be nice.
IIRC no talking on forums, podcasts, etc.
Not really sure what there is to talk about anyways

I didn't receive a rejection email, went to the site and after logging in, I saw this:
I wonder if someone who was rejected would see the same thing. If not then it looks like I'm in.
Actually I'd imagine they would want people who have played Reach a lot since they would be the people most likely to notice issues.

I got rejected as well. That's the first time they have done that. Oh well. Maybe they will have more waves open later?
Last I heard the Hulu & the additional Kinect support was coming "early 2011". Looks like it's probable it will show up in the preview since they they're this late in getting it out.

Hope you're right. Also saw this at the site today:
Updates have been available on Live and disc form for a while, so I wonder what's so special about the "nature" of this update.
