We Write Reviews and Stuff![QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"] You want to say blu-ray is inferior to DVD's? Anyone that can do math will say blu-ray is better, and the fact that the coating on a blu-ray is much more resilient to scratching seals the deal.[/QUOTE]*Blu-ray in PS3* has proven to be (on a number of occasions) quite inferior thanks the poor hardware powering it, and the slow-reading time. On other rare cases, it has been shown to be quite capable at giving the DVD a run for its money and then some thanks to its large storage capacity allowing for additional content (free games), or higher quality audio and more languages. ;D [/QUOTE] Well then, that's not the format's fault but the blu-ray reader's fault in the PS3. I kept my old PS2 games as good condition as possible but it still has scratches, can't believe lemmings are coping with a format that can easily get scratched and with a console that actually scratches discs.[/QUOTE]
And if you don't...you know...move your console while it's playing a game, the discs don't get scratched. I've owned a 360 since January of 2006 and I've never had one of my discs scratched by the console.
To that same end, I've never once scratched a game to the point of it being unreadable either and most of the game discs in my posession that weren't bought used are in pristine condition, even after dozens of hours of playing time. Maybe you just need to get better at handling your games properly. :?

Interesting video. Extremely outdated, and a failure to take into account the many variations of DVD drives in the Xbox 360 rather hurts its credibility considerably now.

[/QUOTE] Yeah, but no one made a big fuss out of it for M$ in USA to actually acknowlegde the problems, it took a watchdog from a small population of 16 million people to actually get things done. I'm sure the xbox slim has fixed that problem mostly, but that video is still accurate. If you own a old 360, that miracilously hasn't RROD yet (I believe Jasper and Falcon models), it scratches discs while being STATIONARY. This myth of a xbox not scratching discs has to go. For starters,
I can't even believe a consumer would buy a product that DESTROYS a $60 investment when it slightly moves or shocks. The slims even have a warning-sticker ffs. That aside, I can't even believe the apologists saying it's okay if you don't move it. A product should not destroy your discs AT ALL.
And my PS2 games still work fine, they have small scratches...but this only is a testament to how easily it could go wrong with DVD(9).- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
