Comment on Xbox 360 Slim “Destroys Discs If Moved” by Yden:

I guess you’ve never had a connector go loose before. I used to do it all the time on my ps2/ps1/dc. Hell I do it occasionally with my wii. Sometimes things comes loose because of some act of god or other various reason. You shouldn’t have to turn of the system completely (never mind the fact if you’re not at any type of save point and have to redo hours of work or whatnot) just to tighten a loose connector.

You can also ignore the fact that you can go out, buy a $10 walkman and move around all you want while the cd is spinning. A CD player in a car (or if you’re rich enough, a dvd player for those kids in the back seat) don’t scratch up all your discs and cars can go through way worse trauma than slowly tilting the system to immediately hear a loud garbage disposal noise that leaves your disc completely useless.

  From what I can tell, he only shook it because he was startled by the scratching noise. He seemly reacted instantly after picking it up and before the other guy told him about the sticker.

  Hey when people buy new copies of their scratched up games, MS makes more money. YAY!

  Hmm I just thought of something, what happens when you live in someplace like California where earthquakes are a regular occurrence?

  It really is a bias poll. If people haven’t noticed, all the choices infer the existence of God. A true non biased poll wouldn’t have every option like that but instead this poll targets people to one extreme. Because of such, I doubt this poll even surveyed any non-white, non-christian individuals.

  Yep everyone needs to do their part. I also read somewhere there Nexon Japan is also shutting down their servers for a while to help with the power problem. A little bit from a bunch of people can add up to quite a bit.

  Well the US list isn’t full of American imports either since you don’t really import into your own country…unless you want to export them out and back in to pay import fees.
