You shouldn't move a console while it is turned on with a disc spinning. If you have a free floating disc system, it will scratch your disc. Same with every current gen console, and most PCs, and also the fat PS2. That's obvious, and anyone who  doesn't know that, didn't read the instructions.

Except the other current gen consoles don't have the disc scratching problem, and nor did the 360 except for early models and now the Slim redsign. The issue is more that MS fixed the fault, then for some reason let it return on the new redesigned consoles. It's a bit weird and a little annoying if you wanted a new 360 slim.

Bullshit, yes they do. Have you ever moved your PS3 or Wii violently while they had a disc spinning. It will scratch the disc to shit and back. I've had it happen to me, in fact, and I guarntee you, if you want to give it a shot, go right a head, because you will end up with a scratched disc, and I can promise you that people on this very forum have had issues with this as well.

I move my PS3 all the time when playing graphically heavy games. As soon as I hear that fan spped increase I move the PS3 into a more open area. As for my Wii, I've had my cat knock that whilst playing and had no problems. My 360 has been lucky, but I haven't had it as long and it was second-hand, so I have no idea how well it would hold up, but if it's one of the later models it should hold up fine. Either way, no scratched discs this gen. Had a host of problems with my PS2 last gen, no problems this gen.

Anyway, the problem with the new redesign is that it doesn't take a violent movement to scratch the discs, but a simple movement that is quite possible in accidental scenarios.

When i had my old phat PS3 i use to move it to a better ventilated place during uncharted when the fan kicked in like you said, and it didnt make any noises nore did it stratch the disc, havn't moved my slim though as the fan has never kicked in on that
