GameFly warns XBox 360 damages discs

So I just rented my first XBox 360 game from GameFly and got a hilarious e-mail warning:
Dear Eric,
Our records indicate that you recently rented your first Xbox 360 game from GameFly.
As you know, the Xbox 360 is a high-end gaming console that uses state-of-the-art technology. As stated in the user’s manual, it is important that the console not be moved in any way while a disc is in the tray. The following movements, among others, may cause damage to the console and/or result in scratches to the disk:
- Moving the console from the horizontal to the vertical position and vice versa
- Picking the console up
- Shifting the console in any way while a disc is in the tray
If you have further questions regarding usage of the Xbox 360 console, please contact Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So apparently because the XBox 360 is a “high-end gaming console that uses state-of-the-art technology,” it will destroy your discs if you touch the machine. Low end gaming consoles with crap technology, however, are crapily engineered not to do this.
