Well the's a solution to the disc drive problems at least, how ever comical people may find it.


Why comical ?

Isn't it the most popular way for people to attempt to fix things ? Give it a few whack and hope for the best.

Not sure i'd try it on a brand new 500$ console tho.


The notion of hitting a piece of hardware and hoping for the best has always been comical due to the VCR days which the X1 ironically looks like, it's a comical reference to retro style out of date hardware which needs a good old style whack to get going because of primitive mechanisms being used which was often compared to donkeys because the latter was sometimes be too stubborn to work so would need a good smack to start pulling its weight, that's the running joke when ever you see people doing it in films and TV shows.

Yeah for me it reminds me of the movie armageddon.
