What is up with so many people defending the 360's build quality? It RROD's. "Oh well, they replace it for free." "You shouldn't play it so long." It scratches discs. "Oh it's cause the people who use it are dumb." "There's a sticker now telling you not to move it." Then they give these exaggerated circumstances of how it would be moved. Guys, the guy barely moved it before it started scratching the disc. You can do that pluging something into the 360 itself. Or what if someone accidently bumps into or knocks it over? And let's not forget about Kinect, where you're going to be moving all around and jumping. BBC Watchdog even proved last year that a 360 could scratch discs without even being touched while playing. The point is they should be fixing these problems, not covering them up.
What's sad is that MS missed a big opportunity to improve the quality of the 360 all around. Instead, it seems they merely slapped a new cover and threw in Wi-Fi. What's even sadder is that people are actually defending a shoddy disk drive.
@ adobo
Are you actually implying that PS3 owners are jealous of a the new 360 cause it has a new feature (Wi-Fi) and a Piano Black finish? Do you remember what a PS3 Phat is right? And I hope you're not talking about the 250 GB HDD, cause I got a 500 GB in mine. Can you clarify how these PS3 guys should be jealous?
