being bumped or moved is the only thing that causes that and before anyone says the systems do i have never seen a system do that on its own with almost 2 years in video game retail i have seen it all everyone says it was never moved but then you ask the kids and one of them will always say it was moved or bumped. hey ace at least Microsoft admitted they made a mistake and extended the warranty by 2 years just to fix the problem Sony would have said sorry its been longer then a year it will cost $300 to fix it.

their are only 2 or 3 games that are only on the ps3 that are worth paying $60 for. the rest are on 360 and before you say well they are also on the ps3 they might be but the 360 versions are at a higher frame rate and resolution. the ps3 is a Blu-ray player that happens to play games as well.

Xbox games > PS3 games.
Xbox Quality < PS3 Quality.

I think I've already mentioned my opinion about the the 360 on another thread, but they are total garbage. Ive had rrod, hd failure, disc scratches, disc drive quit turning, arguments over warentees, and other problems I can't remember now. As for the scratching, it happened to me without any bumping or movement, and with the xbox level. Microsoft had my xbox for 3 of the 12 months of warranty, and refused to fix the disc player on the replacement xbox that they had sent me even though I only had used it for maybe a month (I'm not surprised that it died, because the unit they sent me was a refurb that was 2 years older than the one they were supposed to fix). Even though my kids wii is lame, at least it works. Microsoft will never get my money for another game system.

Xbox Quality < PS3 Quality. I'm not sure I'm going to disagree with that. The PS3 didn't have hardly ANY exclusives until now. They are FINALLY coming out with some exclusives worth getting, but it's far too late now. But there aren't any 360 games that are even CLOSE to being good enough to put up with the total trash that is the 360 console. PS3 FTMFW

Well, got the new 360 in the mail yesterday. set it up last night, threw the new game in.... and BAM!!! This one is broke too. As soon as I put the disc in, it starts to boot the game and the pop-up comes up and says "Disc is Unreadable". I'm so mad right now... LOL, i'm just gonna ship it back, get my money back, and never, NEVER EVER gonna buy some kind of Mircosoft gaming console again. They definately messed up big time, they screwed with the wrong person, me being a Sony fanboy and all. Never had one problem with ANY of my sony products. FAREWELL, JUNKBOX 360!!!!!

Yep I got the RE5 the first time with the bundle but I had to send EVERYTHING back. Then they sent me another brand new copy of RE5 and console of course, still doesn't work. Plus tried with a brand new copy of GTA4 and it screwed up still.

well back when i had my 360, i bought it when they first came out. Those were supposed to be the "bad versions", well it looks like they were the best versions made. I never had ONE problem with mine, but i decided to sell because i needed the money. Dumbest move i ever made was selling that 360!
I ALWAYS had my 360 in the standing position and i never had a problem with it.
I think this thread is what is going to keep me away from buying another 360, because i doubt i will be able to find one from the first batch made.
