Hey guys, I know a lot of you have a 360. Right now I only have GTA4 and Resident Evil 5. If you want you can add me as a friend.
My gamertag is tazfootball2, just let me know who you are so I can put a gamertag to a GPN s/n. LOL!
I also have the PS3, so if you have that my PSN s/n is tazfootball2 also.

Buy a small $10 electric fan from walmart/target and have it blowing on the console when you are playing. It seems like most issues are from overheating. Also make sure you have it on a hard surface, not carpet. The carpet inhibits air circulation.

Well guess what it's already broke... Its a lemon. Within 5 minutes I got "disc read error" on 2 brand new games. And on one it scratched it. I will be sending it back and also giving a call to Mircosoft for a complaint. Figured they had the issues resolved finally, guess not. I am returning for an exchange, so I will give it another shot. But right now PS3 wins the battle so far by a long shot!!! I'm kinda irate about the situation! Go PS3!!!!

It's not that bad of a scratch but that is what the scratch looks like, it goes around with the shape of the disc. It's not just a stray scratch from putting it in the tray or anything.
Let's just say I have almost had my ps3 for a year now and I have had zero problems. I can have that system on for 10+ hours a day and not worry about "overheating". Plus I don't have one scatch on any of my discs. (you can even ask acefighter LOL, he bought my killzone 2 game).
...but I will give micro$oft one more chance, if they fail my expectations again, I WILL NOT GET ANOTHER GAMING SYSTEM FROM THEM!!!
