http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/gamesandmedia/games/discreplacement/DiscReplacementPlan.aspx I've knocked my Wii over multiple times (the stupid Gamecube cords are too short) while playing Brawl and some Gamecube games... I was pretty amazed they were hardly scratched and ran fine. | ||

Or am i trying to jack this thread?..... xbox 360 is known for a abnorally large defect rate for a gaming console i'd go with ps3 if you are afarid of having to return it for one that isn't broken in like 2 months or if your a FF fan it's bound to work out really it's choice by core games i got a wii becuase i play party games alot with my friends cuase FPS are gay. | ||

It also has, in my opinion, more great games, and a much better online experience. At the end of the day, its purely a matter of tastes. I'd go with the 360, though, all day long. | ||

Luckily i was able to polish away the scratches, and now it works fine. If you DO try to polish your CD though, make sure you use a very mild abrasive, or you might just end up damaging it even more. | ||

However I must say that the Xbox360 is like TOO sensitive, fuck I even had my ps2 fall over and land hard onto the ground with GTA 3 in it and it still ran perfectly afterwards, and yes, this happened while the ps2 was running and while I was playing. Then my friend accidently taps the Xbox with his left foot while we're playing gh2 and the game breaks immidiately. that's because PS2s are well made so are the controllers, you can smash one of those dual shocks against a wall a buncha times and it'll still work my ps2 has taken a beating over the years, it has never stopped working and has never damaged a single game i've put into it | ||

FIRST THING THE GUY SAID was to not stand the 360 on it's side while playing games 'cause it'd scratch the disk doing that, God knows why. If you were doing that, /thread. If you weren't... well shit then I'm just going to wait for my RRoD. | ||

So are you saying a rubber ring be inserted into the drive bay to reduce the chances of the cd getting scratched? If that is the case then I will just buy a 360 and a rubber ring..If that is what you are stating? | ||

It's true, except if the player was high quality then you most likely would've have a problem. | ||
