Scratches at E3
With Microsoft unveiling the new XBOX360 slim version of theirs. We have people who are inquisitive and curious enough to test the new
console version. Apparently some of them succeeded in their test.
So apparently this was an old issue with the Xbox consoles. Never tilt or move the console when in use. now the funny thing here is that we cannot assure that we will not move the console as it is in use. There are a lot of cases that we might need to move it. That said, Sony was able to do something about it and so does Nintendo. What about Microsoft? Apparently the guys in Microsoft had not done anything about it. Before there were also legal claims about this but Microsoft ends up blaming it back to the players/owners of the console. All i can say is that at the very least they could have improved that factor when they planned to release Xbox360 slim. I mean, a cd of Xbox360 isn't cheap since not everyone has enough dough to cash out for anything in impulse.
Oh...crap that's pretty bad....Looks like Microsoft hasn't fixed everything. I'll stick to my phat box for now.
I laughed at the guy who went "don't do that! don't do that!"
That's pretty bad, but then again i really don't think i would have shake the system like that in the first place if i knew that microsoft had that problem to begin with.
I would think twice before I do that.
Holy crap... that is some serious scratching......
I wouldn't think of shaking my PC or home console around when they are operating, so this wouldn't be an issue. Even my PSP is treated with utmost care.
although... I can't wait what would come out of project natal...
Jeez, and I wanted this new one to replace my frequent Rrod xbox x_X. Fix it please!
The two giant vents on the sides of the new 360 was said to solve the problem of the RRoD issue, I think....
NICE! I'm so tired of opening up my xbox to give it a fix then later having it enter RRoD mode :/
wow lol Glad I'm a ps3 owner ^^
I've accidentally kicked my 360 while playing a game before and the game I was playing got a scratch like the one in the video. But I still don't see this as a major problem. Yea, I was really pissed and had to buy a new game to replace the one that got scratched. But, really it's not like I just go kicking my 360 every time I play a game and I really don't see why anyone would have a need to move their 360 while playing a game.
I keep all my consoles flat/horizontal so i dont really care. But in the event something where to happen like a moron cousin of mine where to yank a controller cord, bump into the table with my consoles, etc. I wish it wouldnt do that, and I wish M$ fixed this issue. As I recall, My thick ps2 never had an issue like this.
Not really a big issue and a very simple solution, don't move yer console while its in operation..
