I recently had my friend's Xbox 360 break while playing Gears of War. He was starting the game up and it gave him a disk read error. He cleaned it and it happened again. He tried other games- Saint's Row and Madden 07 but they didn't work either. His 360 couldnt read discs anymore, so he called Customer Service and they told him many people had called saying the same thing, and that these people had also been playing Gears.
He went back to the store and got a new 360, but now he is afraid to play Gears, since he thinks it may be defective. It's hard to believe that both a console and a game can be simultaneously defective- that is some bad luck. It should be noted that his 360 was only 6 days old, and was ventilated well. My 360 is 4 days old, and I have been playing Gears also- but mine has run perfectly.
This leads me to my question on why this happens to 360's. I have read of games like Oblivion and Splinter Cell breaking people's 360's also.

This didn't fit in the original post-
If all 360's are the same, and all Gears discs are the same, how can one break an 360 and the other have it run perfect? Taking overheating out of the range of possibilities, how can a game break a console?
